The chorus has been divided into two sections, the 9-1 section which meets Wednesday from 9-10 o'clock, the 9-2 section which meets Tuesday from 11-12 o'clock. Both sections have practically the same kind of work. Their first public program was given November 12, 1927. It was a cantata, The Spider and the Fly, by Daniel Protheroe. It was also sung in Chapel the following week. Their next program was a Christmas program and it was given in Chapel. The following numbers were sung by the chorus: Ringing of the bells Cchimes of Normandyl by Plaoquette, Good Night by Carol. Their first program, which was the best of them all, was their Easter program. The chorus not only sang songs but different members of the chorus gave readings and played piano solos and duets.

Mitchell, Director 'E First Orchestra The Orchestra of the Junior High School has been a great benefit to the school in the Way of playing for social gatherings, operettas and suppers as Well as teaching the students to read music and play instruments. The first orchestra is composed of about forty pupils. This year beside our standard music We have mastered a number of the pieces of the Senior High School Orchestra. We have been playing both standard and classical music. A wide selection of instruments have been used all year. A number of the orchestra members played in the High School Band during the football season. The orchestra which plays for the Assembly periods is composed of first orchestra players. During the year We have played for a social at the Grove Memorial Church, for the P. O. S. of A., Bimbo, the Pirate, Tulip Time, and Commencement. Three times we have appeared in Assembly programs, once combined with the second orchestra. Several times We have played successfully under a student director. Mr. Mitchell is exceptionally well pleased with us and says We possess unusual ability. However, without his untiring patience We could not hope to be successful. .iii-1.- Second Orchestra The Second Orchestra has been giving splendid programs this year. They are playing more advanced music than they have been in the past few years. We are going to give a chapel program soon. Mr. Mitchell, director, has been well pleased with the fine cooperation and attendance of this orchestra. We have about forty pieces in the orchestra.

Throughout the game Junior Hi School played airtight, errorless baseball. Never did she weaken on the offensive and they were just as strong on the defensive. Although the Sophomores were defeated, they put up a stiH battle. Their second game was with Lefty Rhines East End aggregation. Rhine's men played good ball the first couple of innings, but they weakened as Junior High became stronger. The game ended 9-1 in J. H. School's favor. Junior High played a mixed team on May lst. Their opponents staged a rally and were leading by a couple of runs, but Junior High quickly cut down that lead and won the game by the tune of 12-6. Due to the absence of a few players Junior High was weakened. The players are: Long, Huffnagle, Wheeler, Hasson, Tallon, Pearson, Snook, Smith, Muthersbaugh and Riley.
