The officers elected were: President, Mrs. Dort; critic, Mrs. Stone, and secretary, Miss Smart.

The first program was given at the home of Mrs. Dort. The club next adopted a constitution and by-laws, which provided for the additional offices, of two vice-presidents and an executive committee. The club met at the homes of members once in two weeks during the first two years. The society re-organized in 1892, with twenty members enrolled and with Mrs. Dort as president, and honorary members were first admitted at the fall election of 1892. Miss Hallie Freeman was the second president of the society, in 1893 the Maccabee Hall was engaged for the recitals and weekly meetings and that year Mrs. Flint P. Smith was elected president. In January, 1895, the society was incorporated under the state laws. In this year also the society purchased their first grand piano, and a revision of the constitution and by-laws was made, which provided for an annual election in January.

Later, the meetings were held in the hall in Stone's theater and still later in St. Cecelia Hall, which was arranged for the use of the society in the Armory building. For many years since the organization of the St. Cecelia society the music-loving public has been afforded the opportunity of hearing famous artists under its auspices. The Michigan Music Teachers Association held its annual convention in Flint some years ago, through the efforts of the society and for many seasons the concerts arranged by the executive committees have ranked among the attractions of the year. During the season of 1915-16 the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra was one of the offerings of note.

The society annually send delegates to the National Music Teachers Association, and is an ably conducted organization which contributes much to the musical and social life of the city.

One of the foremost musical conservatories of Detroit is under the direction of Mr. and Mrs. Ganapol. Officers of the St. Cecelia Society are: President, Mrs. Harry Winegarden, vice-president, Mrs. J. C. King; secretary, Miss Mildred Davie; treasurer, Mrs. L. G. Kurtz.
