Mr. I. N. Huflman. Uncle Newt. as he is known to all of ns, came to Knox. in 1921. In addition to the thirty-two years of teaching music here. Uncle Newt organized many bands and instrumental groups in this area. These include the Shippenville. Clarion, Parker and St. Petersburg school bands. and the Knox Glass Associates and the Huffman Family bands. Uncle Newt is a charter member of the. Pennsylvania Schools Music Association. which he helped to organize. He is also a member of the Pennsylvania Band Masters and the Pennsylvania Music Educators Association. The Keystone Joint School Band. which Mr. Huffman organized under grcat difficulties when he first came to Knox, has always been out- standing in participation in parades. concert work. and contests. It is difficult to realize the number of students whose musical ability has been developed under Mr. Huffman's direction. Our school band today has a membership of sixty-seven musicians whose training lzegan as early as second grade. The band, under Uncle Newt's direction. makes a definite contribution to our school. One of the lighlights of these activities is the Spring Concert. held each year before graduation time, This year the concert was held April 24th and featured both the baml and the chorus. A recent activity for all the bands of Clarion County has been an annual band day. which is held at CooI4's Forest. During the morning of this day the baud members practice together under the various directorsg and at noon. time is given for a picnic lunch and for relaxation. After an afternoon of practice a concert is presented for the public in this beautiful natural setting. With favorable weather this concert is an inspiring ex- perience for both the participants ami the audience. This year. as in all other years, our school was represented in the various activities carried on by the Pennsylvania Music Educators Association. Neil Ray and Patty Webb represented our school at District Band. Patty also represented Keystone Joint School at State Band and District Orchestra. This year. for the first time. our band elected officers to assist Uncle Newt in managing the organization. Neil Ray was elected president. Ross Bauer vice-president. and Mary Louise McCall secretary-treasurer. As we watch this year coming to a close, bringing an end tu the activities and work of our hand. we feel a deep regret that this should he the !ast year our beloved director, Mr. Huffman. will guide boys and girls in their study and appreciation of music. To Mr. Huffman our school and cominunitv owe a great debt and a deep appreciation. Music is a revelation: a revelation loftier than all wisdom and all I1l1ilUS0DlW-

OCAL M llAltltlE'l l' li. liiiblltltlll NlJ1'tilXVtSit'l'll UlllYt'l'Slty, B. M., limi. tfoliinilviu Uiiivcrsity 'l'L'LlL'ilL'l'S Collcgi-, M. A. Vocal Music Din-ctoi' Times have changed and we have changed with them: rather our music department has. Our vocal music department has expanded from a small choral group to a large selected group of talented singers. The members of the chorus were selected after careful tryouts and much thought and work on the part of the music director, Miss Emrich. All vocal students are required to attend Glee Club. where those who want to join Chorus but are not ready, study the fundamentals of music along with chorus members. These choral groups are called on to entertain parent-teacher groups, school board meetings, and school assemblies. One of the outstanding achievements of the vocal department this year was the presentation of the cantata, THE CHILDE JESUS. on December seventeenth. On Friday, March twenty-seventh, five of the chorus members entered the state-wide Forensic Contest. held in Clarion. Pennsylvania. The chorus members that took part in this contest were Bob Shay. James Agnello, Michael Green. Shirley Harbin. and Eleanor Dascomhe. Bob Shay, rated superior. won first place in his section. Shirley Harbin, rated excellent, won first place. James Agnello and Eleanor Dascomlie were also rated excellent. Michael Green was rated fair. The students who were given superior or excellent ratings advance to the State Contest held at Pittsburgh. Other chorus members who were active in the County Chorus were Shirley Harbin, James Agnello. Eleanor Dascuinbe, Rheba Stuart. Catherine Craig. Patty Ritts, Leslie Knight. Jack Shettler. Norris Hummel, Patricia Webb, Bob Shay, and Ross Bauer. These same students will sing with the County Chorus at Cook's Forest on Easter morning. To complete our year of music, the Chorus and Glee Clubs will participate in the Spring Concert. held in our school on April twenty-fourth. Song brings of itself a cheerfulness that wakes the heart of joy.
