It's not the 2009 TV show Glee (I've seen it a couple of times...) Worthington Glee Club 1937 from Don O'Brien who grew up in Worthington. Visit O'Brien's Flickr photostream for lots of interesting photos of Worthington from the 1930s and 1940s.
O'Brien wrote on Flickr, "I was in 7th grade when I took the photo with my 620 Kodak folding camera. I think Miss Sanford, the Worthington school music teacher is the leader. I don't recognize any of the girls because they were several years older than I was.
The photo was taken in the old high school building, now the new art center. In 1937, grades 9-12 were in the building"
The ribbon cutting for the Peggy McConnell Arts Center in the "Packard" building was Sunday I believe.
The architect of the original building was Frank Packard. Have you been yet?
The arts center is beautiful from a distance.

There are lots of current photos in an album there, 'Mac Grand Opening.'

Your "Glee" photo would be perfect for Wordless Wednesday!
It is NOT my original content and I don't want to take a kersplat. If I did not post words with it I would need to use a Kersplat and I don't do that. I posted this on Wednesday but had no intention of making this post part of the garbage fest that Wordless Wednesday is on ActiveRain. People pull images from the garbage in their email and post them to a group where "friends" stop by to say "funny photo" and enough other words to get their comment points.
This photo and all of Don O'Brien's photos that he licenses with a Creative Commons license deserves so much more than the treatment Wordless Wednesday posts get (or any posts written for consumers get by posting to an ActiveRain group...)
The photo is taken in the school building that had it's ribbon cutting ceremony this past Sunday. I could not be there but the blog this posted to is about the community of Worthington. Much more important to me than having a bunch of people in the RE industry stop by to say "Great photo thanks for sharing" or another awkward Realtory sounding slap on the back kind of comment.

I used to do Wordless Wednesday. I may in the future but this photo deserves a lot more.
Friend Feed picks up my content from my outside blogs and posts it as a link to Facebook. I got a comment from someone I know who grew up in Worthington who was able to be at the ribbon cutting ceremony...
gee and all you said was:
