' 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.

The East Detroit Dramatics Club was formed for the purpose of giving students practical experience in the inter- preting and producing of one-act plays to promote interest in the dramatic activities of the school, and to encourage en- thusiasm for the drama in all its phases. All senior high students who are interested in the theatre in any way are encouraged to join this organization. The Club has been very active this year. In November they produced a one- act play, Required One Man, for the annual School Fair. For the Christmas program they entertained the entire stu- dent body with Pop Reads the Christmas Carol, a one- act comedy. In January the Club gave four one-act comedies to raise funds for some much needed stage furniture. Now they are working on a night program to increase this fund so that furniture may be obtained before the annual Senior play. LlUB To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. With this objective in mind, splash-parties, scavenger-hunts, and movies have occupied the time and talents of the club mem- bers this year. The proceeds from these various activities were used to provide Christmas baskets for the needy families and to aid charitable organizations whenever the opportunity presented itself. In carrying out these self-imposed duties, the members of this splendid organization have learned how to improve and better themselves by aiding those in distress.

In last year's national contest, The Study of the Community, the girls finished second in competition with over 700 other groups. In addition to their project work, the club is assisting the local chapter of the Red Cross in the preparation of surgical dressings. On the activity calendar for the very near future is the play Friendly Neighbors - a drama depicting life in continental Europe.
