Ray City Glee Club Heard at M.E. Church
The Ray City high school Glee Club was featured in last Sunday night services at the local Methodist Church, singing before a packed house. Reverend J.O. Stanaland, pastor, announced that it was nearly a capacity congregation.
The Glee Club very ably and with pleasing harmonious voices rendered a group of chorus selections. There are twenty-eight mixed voices in the Glee Club.

Ray City Glee Club Gave Program at Lakeland Recently
The Ray City High School Glee Club numbering twenty-four voices, presented a program last Tuesday morning at the Lakeland School auditorium during chapel period. Several readings were also given by students representing the Ray City Expression Department. The performance received an enthusiastic response from the Lakeland faculty and student body. Mr. House praised the work of the visiting group, and stated that on account of the pleasant scholastic relations in literary and athletic events which had always existed between Ray City and Lakeland he was exceptionally glad to have had the Ray City school represented here on such a delightful an occasion. Similar programs were presented in Ray City last fall by Lakeland High School and Grammar School Glee Clubs prior to the School of the Air Broadcasts. The Ray City Glee Club is preparing a program to be broadcast over radio station WAYX in Waycross at 2 o’clock p.m. April 7. – Lanier County News.
