FLAMSTEAD CHALLENGE 31 BAND This year the band was reorganized with many changes. New faces appear- ed where the members of the class of '48 had previously been. New music selected by the director, Mr. Frank Bush, was anticipated by everyone. Band officials were elected with Cecil Wal-do, president, William Salo, vice president, Barbara Laselle, secretary, Carl Brooks, treasurer. The annual band concert was presented on March 18 when all groups of the music department participated. One of the most outstanding additions to the event was the new chorus. Five members were chosen to represent Chester High in the New England Festival at Wellesley, Mass. The climax of a year's activities is the Vermont State Music Festival for which members were selected to participate in the state band, orchestra and glee club. DRAMATICS CLUB Hats off to the members of the Dramatics Club who made the senior play, All American Family, a success-those in the cast and those who endured their eternal screaming while they worked on properties, staging, advertising and prompting. The activities of the club have been real activities, not just meetings or lec- tures. With the help of Miss 'Carder and Mr. Chrusciel, the Dramatics Club planned to have three one-act plays represented in a district dramatics contest, then the state contest, if not eliminated. The casts of The First Dress Suit, The True in Heart, and Who Murdered Who, deserve this break. Thanks to Miss 'Carder for reviving the Dramatics Club. Barbara Gates: It took eight sittings. Marilyn Farmer: What? Are you having your portrait painted? Barbara: No. Learning to roller skate. Patsy Knights: Canat you stretch the music a little-play just a dance or two more for us? Eddy Winn: Sorry, this isn't a rubber band. Mr. johnson: Why should we tty to prevent war? Willis Gordon: It makes so much history. Miss Carder: Wesley, haven't you finished washing that blackboard? You'vc been working on it for an hour. Wesley Selmer: I know, but the more I wash it, the blacker it gets. Miss Bidwell: Donald, your essay on My Mother is exactly like your brother Pau1's, word for word. F Donald Lapointe: Yes, ma'am. We have the same mother.
