• CHOIR and ORCHESTRA—Although the orchestra was decreased in size during the last terms, it has improved its musical technique and has enlarged its musical library. The orchestra is kept very busy during the year playing for assemblies, class plays, at baccalaureate services, and at graduating exercises. This year the combined choir and glee club has been working hard on the cantata The Holy City,” which they gave at a night performance during the latter part of April. Although they have spent most of their time on the cantata, they have taken part in special assemblies, at baccalaureate services, and at the Lenten service. Both the orchestra and choir are under the able direction of Mr. Chester Bclstrom. OUR MUSIC • CHOIR—f r. Rom : M. Vynn, R. Qoale. I), (immin. C. A-undton. C. ftrUirom, E. Scholl, I .

STAGE CREW • This year the stage crew, without the aid of a regular adviser, has quietly and efficiently handled all stage scenery, props, and lighting; projected films; supervised the sound; and greatly improved the public address system. They have given countless hours of service, by providing for program and play rehearsals the necessary props, lights, and scenery. HALL MONITORS • May 1 sec your pass please,” is the friendly greeting of the hall monitor. These civic-minded students of Central High volunteer their services, during their study periods so that order may be maintained in our halls throughout the day. All students serving must have a C” average. During the first semester the hall monitors have worked under the supervision of Miss Thomas, principal, and during the second semester under Mr. Classon, assistant principal. In all instances these students have done a fine piece of work. Hall monitors, the students of Central salute you. • Phillip Green, carpenter; Eugene Johnson, projections; Noel Cadwell, flyman; Richard Enquist, sound technician; Roy Almen, electrician; John Almcn, stage manager. • TOP: HALL MONITORS—First Rou: M.

• During the past year, assemblies have varied from heavy drama to light comedy. As is the custom, our Thanksgiving and Easter programs were of a religious nature. The Reverend Armstrong delivered a Lenten message, while Reverend Reuben Youngdahl spoke at our Thanksgiving program. The orchestra furnished appropriate music for all occasions. We were honored to have Congressman Walter Judd and columnist George Grimm speak to the student body about the problems of the postwar world. Barb Anderson, Val Shrimpton and Dick Mayes were among the singing talent that appeared on Central’s stage this year. Pianists included Audrey Ovcrson, Bill Baden, Doug Crocker and Howie Knudtson. Bev Bernath and John Wilmot provided many laughs with their imitations of various types of dancers. At the right we see The Three V’s, Dick Mayes and Alton Johnson.” I MAKERS • • BAND—lint Ron: D.

However, later Mr. Strom left for another position, and for a few days the band was without a leader. Since Mr. Chester Bclstrom. the new conductor, has taken over the band, it has enlarged its membership. The band meets in the auditorium first hour, and one can often hear strains of familiar marches echoing through the halls during this period. Throughout the term the band has played at many patriotic and regular assemblies and has added a great deal of zest to the pep programs. I 27
