This school year has been a very successful one for the Arlington High School Band. They started out in the fall by playing for the foot- ball games and continuing on for the basketball season. They played for all the home games and also two out-of-town games, both at Sno- homish. The first of these was an evening football game, and the second, one of the basketball tournament games. In October a short concert was given by the Band for the Parent- Teacher Association, and in December they provided music for the All- School Play, June Mod. Since the band had increased greatly in the past year, ten more uniforms were needed. To help solve this problem a Minstrel Show was given in February. For this program a cast was selected from the mem- bers of the band and student body. Through the efforts of Mr. Ruedi, a splendid program was presented. Also in February, the band marched and played in the program to sell bonds for the Fourth War Lean Drive. In May they played in the Everett Music Festival and also gave another concert to complete the sum needed for uniforms. It is felt that the band has improved greatly this last year and will improve even more so in the coming years. Pane 28

ZHonor Society This year the Honor Society had sixty-two members. Mr. Henning was the adviser. The annual banquet was held on February 11, 1944, for the Fresh- men who made the Honor Roll at the semester. We also held the annual assembly to award the pins. The aim of the Honor Society this year was to revise the point system, and this has been successfully carried out. Z Hixed Chorus and Qirls ’ Qlee Club Perhaps you have heard some weird sounds coming from the speech room during the First part of the third period. Well that is the Mixed Chorus going through the vocal work-out on scales and exercises for tone, breath support and diction. As a result the tenors and so- pranos are actually singing those high notes with more ease. The altos and baritones are also developing a better range. Our Mixed Chorus is memorizing five songs for the music festival in Everett, May 5. The songs are: 1. A Prayer For Wisdom - Bortniansky 2. Swiss Skiing Song - Folk Song 3. I Hear America Singing - De Rose 4. Rain and the River - Fox 5. Were You There? - Negro Spiritual The Girls' Glee Club and the Nonettes have appeared on numerous programs during the year. In May the annual spring concert will be given. Both the Girls' Glee and the Mixed Chorus will participate. Miss Johnson is the director. 3. 3. c71. One of the highlights of the year was the barn dance given in the farm shop by the F. F. A. John Hillis, president, received the Grange F. F. A. project prize. Lloyd Manes received second-place award. John Hillis also was awarded the Sears Roebuck Certificate for war-time pro- duction. Perry Robbins went to the State Convention at Pullman, April 12-15, as F. F. A. delegate. Page 27
