Show Florence Summerhays Director LADIES' GLEE CLUB PROGRESS in numbers and accomplishments has been achieved this last year by the Ladies' Glee Club of the University of Utah. The organization has grown considerably in size over previous groups, and under the very efficient direction of Florence Summerhays, vocal instructor in the department, has evidenced to the public its unlimited possibilities in the production of worthwhile musical entertainment. It has presented, in cooperation with the Ladies' Varsity Quartette, interesting and varied programs before several large gatherings. Together with the Men's Glee Club, it formed the complete chorus for the annual operatic presentation of the Music Department. The big event of the year for the club, however, was the concert given in the spring, featuring the cantata, "The Death of Jeanne of Arc," the musical version of the beautiful story of heroic patriotism and bravery of the famous French "Maid of Orleans." The soprano soloists were Verda Evans and Mildred Whipple. The success of the presentations, as evidenced by the appreciation of the audience, was unquestionable. The girls participating throughout the year in the club were: Whipple, Helen Rothwell, La Rene Aylett, Evelyn Harding, Shirley Cannon, Dian Lamoreaux, Mildred Shields, Jean Woolley, Ruth Chris- tenson, Loree Van Wagenen, Luella Wheeler, Jean Leonard, Caroline Calmer, Margaret Kaar, Louise Giberson, La Prele Spratley, Lucille Mc Dermaid, Leona Zenick, Lucille Ross, Ruth Ellsworth, Varno Gilbert, Theona Snyder, Gwendolyn White, Dorothy Ann Lewis, Phyllis Schettler, Lila Wright, Dorothy Taylor, Dorothy Boud, Miriam Whipple, Erma Stevens, Ann Parkinson, Ruth Vail, Florence Sims, Emily Rose, Elizabeth Lambert, Dorothy Spaford, Martha Culp, Maurine Oldroyd, Kathleen Gray, Alice Thornley, Pearl Fullmer, Violet Fall, De Lone Valentine, Grace Hilton, Ruth Wilson, Edrie Thomas, Ruth Beckstead, and Helen Strock. Those who were elected to represent the Ladis' Glee Club as officers for the year were: Hazel Elaine Blood, president; Margaret Smith, vice-president; Minnie Reiman, manager; and Ada Waldron, accompanist. Through their efforts and those of the director, Miss Summerhays, the organization became equally well known and succesful.
