CLUBS
The Girls' Glee Club, under the supervision of Miss
Dupree, presented several programs during the year, in-
cluding one on Father's Night. The girls also took part in
annual Music Week, by singing at Bellevue Junior High
on the ninth of May. The season was brought to a grand
climax on May 30th when an operetta, "The Dress Re-
hearsal," was presented before an audience of parents
and students.
An important school activity during the year was
the Junior Red Cross. The members were busy all winter
making afghans and collecting boxes of tinfoil. Christ-
mas the club sent scrapbooks to the Mary Galloway
Home of Memphis, and gifts to the school children and
needy families of Ravenscroft, Tennessee. Letters of ap-
preciation were received from these people.
The band made up of 7th and 8th grade boys and
girls, is a new organization at Snowden, having been be-
gun this year. In uniforms of green and white, the school
colors, the members marched with the other bands in the
Cotton Carnival Parade.
