Ross Prestia, and lack Echer. Edward has been drum major for two years. Both Edward and Ross had chairs in the all state Band at Millyfale. The hand had been selected to represent the state of Pennsylvania this spring at the Nat- ional Automobile Convention in Wash- ington, D. C., but the convention was canceled due to the war. The community as a whole should be very proud of the band and appreciate their efforts to be one of the finest aggregations in Western Pennsylvania. ie!WlolSllQlANS Aillsls INSTRUMENTAL CONTESTS-COACH, MR.

Mr. Gingrich. EAN ...l oliclfltsll The C. H. S. Band, famous over the southwestern portion of Pennsylvania, hit an all time membership high this year, of 105 members. Helping greatly to improve the appearance ofthe organi- zation were the beautiful American Flag and the guns of the color guard, pre- sented just this year by the Elks and American Legion. Director Richard H. Gingrich deserves much recognition for his efforts, as it has been he who during the past five years has made the band what it is today. The school deeply regrets Mr. Gingrich's departure, and wishes him the best of luck. Activities of the band this year were both various and numerous. In the fall, football games kept them busy. Later they played for several assembly pro- grams and for the teacher's institute. During the Winter they practiced for their two spring concerts. Thirty mem- bers represented Connellsville in the All- County Band at Georges Township. Especially outstanding for their musi- cianship have been Edward MacDonald, 26

Bunthorne CDav-id M-usgravej, having been deeorated by the Rap- turoui Maidens, sings in praise of love as the assembled company atten s. - PATIENCE, An Operetta by Gilbert and Sullivan Little Patience, not understanding romance, amazes the Rapturous Maidens, for they have always been in love. Their present infatuation involves a worldly poet, Reginald Bunthorne, who, however, makes advances to Patience. She promises to marry Bunthorne, although she has no desire to do so, when the maidens convince her that it is her duty to be in love. Later, after the maidens transfer their affections to an idyllic poet, Grosevenor, Patience really comes to adore him. Finally, Patience's true love wins out over her sense of duty and Reginald resigns him- self to remaining a single man forever.
