jBand The High School Band had a very successful year this year. At the beginning of the year the Band played for all of the home football and basketball games. The Band also went to Snohomish and played for the basketball tournament. During the early part of December the Band went out to the Air Base and played for a Flag Raising—Civilian Pennant Award. December 1st they played for a Vaudeville at the Base. A concert for the Sixth Bond Drive was given at the High School December 6th. A second Vaudeville was given at the Air Base February 22nd, at which the Band played. The Band's last and main concert was given March 29th. The Band played many of the main pieces they played in Everett at the Music Festival, May 1st. I wish to compliment the Band, for I feel it has improved greatly. In the four years Mr. Reudi has been here he has given to the school a Band of which we may all well as proud. 28

0 ramatics The Dramatics Club, under the supervision of Miss Anne Knudson, has fifteen members. During the first semester they were learning how to speak correctly by giving short skits. Having accomplished this, they worked on three short one-act plays, which were given for the school. The names of the plays are: The Tenth Ward, Miss Sidney Carton. and If Women Worked as Men Do. This club has been most enjoyable for both members and their adviser. It is encouraging to see the effort and interest put forth by the students. ALL-SCHOOL PLAY Bogeyman, a mystery comedy in three acts, was selected for the All-School Play. The cast was: Ex Dixort, Lyle Vick; Lanny Harper, Lou Hiett; Charlie, Dale Vick; Peggy Howard, Ardath Boyden; Libby Green, Colleen Cruver; Vicky Green, Alene Langdon; Mrs. Whipple, Barbara Lamp; Pat Young, Betty Nordby; Ellen Mitchell, Jean Hansen; Flunky Smith, Arthur Hoery. The play is centered around the long-abandoned Dixon mansion, which a group of college girls and their housemother are trying to buy. The house has acquired a haunted house reputation, and on this basis the owner and his friend plan to scare the girls out of buying it. The play formed a good evening's entertainment, under the direction of Miss Anne Knudson. 29
