Korean Tai Hong Oh Sponsored Through Club Funds Tai Hong Oh is a seven year old Korean boy Buena students have supported for two and a half years. He lives in Kwan Am Ri, a village located about 20 miles south of Seoul, Korea. Today, as a result of a S 15.00 check sent monthly, Tai is able to attend grammar school. Family living and village life has become a little easier. Past checks have thus far purchased a cow, some food, clothing, and farm supplies, as well as some livestock. Tai's father, Sang Ki, 29, is a farmer, and with the modern equipment he now has, food production for the family has increased somewhat. Tai's mother, Math Suoot, earns additional income by working in a general store in the village. Four year old Tai Jin, completes the family. The village in which Tai and his family lives consists of 16 families. Parents of most of these families escaped from North Korea during the Korean War. This small settlement of Kwan Am Ri lacks the necessary medical facilities needed in most parts of the world. Seeing that the monthly check is mailed is a responsibility of the Service Committee. Other projects related to Tai are sending him gifts, toys, and candy at Christmas time, as well as, pictures of various students. Several letters dur- ing the year are forwarded. Early in October, preparation begins to send Tai's Christmas pack- age. It must be mailed early to insure its arrival on time. Since Save The Children Federation first intro- duced Buena students to Tai, campus clubs have helped greatly in brightening the life of this one small Korean child and his family. ii-1 . 1' iv, XV Standing outside his home is Tai Hong Oh with his mother Math Suoot and younger brother Tai Jin. A seven-year old Korean boy, Tai Hong Oh, naw is able to attend school and his family enjoys an easier life due to the efforts of Buena students.

Melodies Inspire Musicians to Practice Hard Orchestra members are interested and capable musicians who want to learn about and perform all types of good music. Dedicated members meet before school to rehearse the music that they will play at school assemblies, PTA meetings, and music festivals. The music Varies from purely classical works to modern show tunes, and mem- bers learn a great deal about music in the process of playing it. More accomplished musicians are given opportunities to play solos and duets in front of an audience, and they gain poise and ex- perience by doing so. The orchestrais first per- formance of the year was Back-to-School Night. Later it performed at the Christmas Program, some PTA Meetings, and the Spring Concert. Choir and orchestra Work in close cooperation to present the Christmas Assembly and evening Christmas Pro- gram. The choir sings Christmas music set to a story, the orchestra plays traditional carols, and the two groups join in a classical Christmas song. A shortened version of the program is presented to the students in assembly, then the complete program is presented in the evening. The high- light of the year is the Spring Concert, when the Band and Orchestra combine to present an eve- ning concert. At the end of the year awards are given to deserving orchestra members on the basis of ability and service. Orchestra awards are pre- sented at the Musician's Banquet, a pot-luck dinner.
