To this purpose a meeting was held in the new Employ-ment Office Saturday noon and marked enthusiasm was shown. There is no reason why an organiza-tion of this..kind. should not be ef-feet d. Out of the large ndmber of s employed here, it should be possi-ble to find eighteen or twenty girls who have the musical talent to make the thing worth while. It is not neces-sary to be a grand opera singer in orr der to make .;the thing a success; all tliat is required is a slight knowledge of reading music and a willin•ness .to try. So if you have these qualifica-tioiis, hand in your name at once, either to ·Miss Ella Brunswick of Department No. 22, or to Miss Lillie Murphy of Department No. 6, who will look after the club until an organization can be perfected. The advantag-e of a glee club may be readily seen. A competent direkitor . eould be obtained and no one would ever regret the time and trouble spent in rehearsals. It goes without saying tliat by joinihg you will let ·yourself in for both pleasure and profit, will be-come better acquainted-witlribrour fel-low employees, and gain much that is'of T-alue, socially: and inusically, to girls.
