These groups range from a full scale orchestra to a small Rock and Roll Combo, from a huge chorus to several quartets. Whether large or small, these many groups are known all over the city for their mu- sical abilities. They perform not only at convo- cations, school dances, and other school activi- ties, but for grade schools, interested organiza- tions, and several radio and television stations. It is doubtful, however, that these groups would have advanced so far without the aid and assistance of their directors, Mr. Charles Ham- ilton, Mr. Ray Funk, Miss Ruth Rosser, and Mrs. Ruth King. Through constant practice, striving for perfec- tion, these students find many hours of plea- sure and gain a good musical background at Washington. Swhiging with the latest rock and roll are the Metro- nomes, Lari-y Morley, Wendell Stinson, Gene Hender- son, and Duane Henry pictured with their instruments. 27
