Music DONALD CRISPIN AND — This year the band, even snappier than ever, furnished added enthusi- U asm for the spectators of all our major football games. The fine spirit and playing ability of the band was a real inspiration even though we met with hard luck at the games. Last year our band won first prize at the State Festival at Kali River. We are equally proud of the showing made by our band at the State Festival at Belmont and the New England Festival at Worcester held early this spring. The real popularity of the band among the students was proved by the large student body that gathered in the hall every Wednesday to hear us practice. Orchestra — With the violin section really improved greatly by the addition of some fine freshmen violinists, the orchestra gathered favorable comments at the rehearsals, the operetta, the Teacher’s Club play, and the various assemblies. The addition of two new kettle drums also made the orchestra sound better. The orchestra made a fine showing at both the State and New England Festivals. Mr. Hauck said that the success of both the band and orchestra was due to the added enthusiasm and interest that the members had for their work this year. Vocal- This year vocal music came into the limelight under the able direc- tion of our new director Miss Lindsay. The most outstanding event of the vocal groups was the presentation of the operetta, “The Lu cky Jade,” on March 3. The operetta leads were taken by Ruth Papps, Elliot Spiess, Guy Robbins, Natalie Snow, Jean White, Chester Price, Jean Young, Juanita Block, John Rideout, William Stovold, Donald Crispin, Joseph Kelly, Pearl Schatzl, John Tollison, and Herbert Ryan. Miss Iveany assisted in the stage work of the operetta. The Girls’ Glee Club and the Madrigal group gave a special concert at the Lincoln School, January 9. The Boys’ Glee Club sang at the Christ- mas Assembly. The Music Festival, given in the high school auditorium, was a real success. All of the musical groups demonstrated their ability much to the pleasure of the par- ents and friends who attended. Many solos and special numbers were given by the students. Miss Lindsay and Mr. Hauck have given much of their time in helping tin individual members of the band, orchestra, and glee club with their music. { 25 }

Oral English NANCY SHEDD A N EVENT outstanding in character during the past year was “Growing Pains,” a three-act comedy by Aurania Rouverol presented by the members of the Oral English Club on December 9, 1938. A great deal of time was spent in preparation by the cast and they were well rewarded by the largest and most appreciative audience that ever witnessed an Oral English play. Two members of the cast who deserve honorable mention are Paul Nelson and Dorothy McCarthy, young stars who have everything it takes to make a play a success. Others who contributed greatly to the performance were Richard Browi , Ruth Greenough, Betty Souther, Nancy Shedd, Emylie Nash, Robert Cook, Thomas Talbot, Gordon Sears, and Kathleen Farrell. This play was under the direction of Miss Katherine D. Hearn, teacher of dramatics, whose untiring patience led to a great success. “Growing Pains” is a story of the McIntyre family who find many difficul- ties in life which are solved in a most humorous way. So as not to bore the reader I shall turn to another part of our work. Class Officers for the year 1938-39 were as follow ' s: Muriel Rogers, President; Betty Souther, Vice President; Elsie Drinkwater, Secretary; Richard Brown, Treasurer. Club meetings were held each Friday during which plays were read and reviewed and topics of the day discussed. The last half of the school year was spent in debate work. As Miss Hearn was vice chairman the tournament was held in the high school hall. In May there was the Annual Prize Speaking Contest thus closing another successful year. { 26 }
