Difficult indeed would be the task of definitely showing how much sudering has been eliminated and how many lives have been saved from tragic death and early ending due to the aroused consciousness of our student body. Our school wants, in its humble yet worth-while way, to continue giving support to a project so essential to its own welfare and safety, as well as to help in the larger work of the state and nation. The automobile engineers have accomplished much in their work to give us a car that is mechanically safe. The road-builders have very greatly improved our highways where the hazards are greatest but they can do only their part. We as users must do our share to make the program complete. Those who have made most exhaustive studies tell us that ninety percent of automobile accidents are due to human causes and that far too many are the direct results of inattention and lack of responsibility on the part of the pedestrian. We are grateful for the responsibility shown and cooperation given by sofnqany of our students. Let us continue our right and privilege of acting sa e y. Page Eighty-two

The Music Department Again Mr. Whetstone has produced a finer Marietta High School Band than ever before. His untiring efforts and the splendid cooperation given by the boys have made the name of our high school stand out as one having a band with a good reputation. The band has had a very active year. In addition to the regular playing at football and basketball games, it made many short concert tours through Washington County. For the first time in many years, the band entered band contests. On November 15, 1935, the band made a trip to Jackson, Ohio, to enter the Southern Ohio Eisteddfod. There were five competing bands. The overture played was R. Gruenwald's Rhinefels . Marietta was given second place, Portsmouth receiving first. On May 8, the band will enter another contest held at Athens, Ohio. The winner of this contest will go into the state contest and the Winner there in turn to the national contest. The overture to be played at this contest is Universal Judgment by De Nardis. This year we welcome Miss Benson to our high school. Her choruses gave an enjoyable program at the annual Christmas assembly and mem- bers for the operetta chorus were chosen from these groups. She has done splendid work in the choral department and in producing the operetta, The Emperor's Clothes . The operetta was given at the Hippodrome Theater on April 22, 1936. We congratulate the members of the cast on their splendid work. The orchestra was conducted by Mr. Siegler, and Miss Stacy coached the dancing and speaking parts. The junior musical organizations promise to be a good source of talent for the future. Mr. Siegler's orchestras have played for a number of assemblies. The senior orchestra furnished music for the senior class play. Members of the operetta orchestra were chosen from the senior orchestra. All in all, the music department has had a very successful year. Mr. Whetstone with the band, Mr. Siegler with the orchestra, and Miss Benson with the choruses make up a music department of which any school may well be proud. Page Eighty-four
