Paul W. Ashby, Carolyn Moody, Lida Stage. The fine arts department, which includes music and art, was somewhat expanded this year. This year, her first at Butler High, Mrs. Moody, a graduate of l.U., taught all the vocal music in the twelve grades plus music and art at Moore school. She also taught art to the first eight grades in Butler. Mrs. Moody organized several special groups. Several solos and ensembles entered the district contest at Fort Way'ne. 1. Mrs. Stage directing the senior band: Spring Festival. 2. Dolls: Grade Christmas Operetta. 3. Beginners' Band: lst row: Rosanna Berg, David Snyder, ,lames Sattison, Margaret Hathaway, Donna , Shirley Snyder. 7m Am Mr. Ashby taught art and mechanical drawing in the high school. One project was making the beau- tiful, lighted board used in the Hi-Y - Tri-Hi-Y in- duction service. The art class designed and painted the board, and the mechanical drawing class put it together. Mrs. Stage has been with us for many years doing fine work and this year is no exception. Several ensembles were organized and entered the contest along with the solos. The fine arts department of the school is sadly lacking in time, space, and equipment, but an effort is being made to improve its status. 3. Beginners' Band: 2nd row: Gerald Gonzales, Judy Little- john, , Ronald Ault. 4. Art Class: working on the Hi-Y - Tri-Hi-Y induction emblems, ,lean Wilson, Mary Lee Jaycox, Beverly Beard, Rosanna Briegel. This page sponsored by the CASEBERE WELDING AND REPAIR SHOP, Butler.

The high school band is a wonderful organization to belong to, the members say, and the other students agree. Where else can one spend an hour getting rid of excess energy and have a lot of fun, too? And, it is a lot of fun under the able direction of Mrs. Lida M. Stage. Mrs. Stage has successfully directed the B. H. S. band for a number of years, and we are proud to have her still leading our musicians through their paces. This year for the first time, the band was given a full hour to devote to practice. Their group activities got under way in October by marching at the Auburn Fair. They continued to pep up our basketball games again this year by playing some snappy tunes as well as a very effective rendition of our national anthem as the flag was raised. They did some floor work at Christmas time, making the star and tree in lights. Last February several of the students entered the District Solo and Ensemble contest in Fort Wayne. Those who received first there, went on to the state contest in Indianapolis. The following participants went to the state contest: a brass sextet consisting of Scuba gave! Dick Roan, Vaughn Billings, Joan Hankey, Janet Smyth, Jim Lung, and Bishop Hathaway, received first ratings and Helen Coll received a second. This February, the band entered the Band Contest making a very good showing. Many entered the solo and ensemble contest, too. Their year was topped off with the annual Spring Concert. This event really proves what they have accomplished during the year. This year's officers, Dick Roan, president, Beth Hankey, vice-president, Marjorie Smith, secretary, Joan Hankey, treasurer, and Chuck Baird and Lee Pierson, librarians, did a wonderful job of coordinat- ing the year's activities and in presenting everything from Bach to boogie.
