' 5 D In l935.. Mr. Richards organized the East Detroit High School Band with a scattered group of somewhat untrained members. Since that time he has had a watchful eye out for talented youngsters, holding classes to give them more training. The result is an ambitious, talented group of youngsters from both Junior and Senior High School. The band engages in more activities than any of the other music groups in the school. It entertains at most school athletic activities of importance. It also marches when any outstand- ing celebration is being carried on in the city. The Band members need no Commendation for their fine numbers in the yearly concert, and their willingness to provide music for school pep meetings.

Much more can be expected of the group after the present string section has received more experience and training, for last year's foremost violinists were graduated. However, this ambitious group of young musicians gave a very fine performance at the annual school operetta and give evidence of developing into a very fine organization. GLEE CLUB For the past six years this organization has been developing under the direction of Mr. Richards. The present member- ship is over sixty girls, all from the senior high. Members of this club appear on radio programs several times each year and perform at various local entertainments. The highlight of the year's training of his music classes is the annual con- cert, in which Mr. Richards exhibits the accomplishments of his entire department. In this concert the Girls Glee Club has always been an outstanding feature. Together with the Boys Glee Club, the girls present the yearly operetta, a tribute to the hard work of the organization. f Third Row: Cleone Stay, Gertrude Ryan, Mary Bohm, Shirley Fisher, Bette Laethem, Marjorie McDonnell, Marion Schult, Marguerite Wunderlich, Fourth Row: Virginia Linenger, Dorothy Oehmke, E s t h e r Regling, Dolores Henstock, Doris Knight, Patricia Do- novan, Doris Krzykowsky.
