Hear ye! Hear ye! A proclamation to all young men of good character and fine physiquef, The na- tional Young Menls Christian Associationis announce- ment that it was going to open a branch in the high school was met by immediate approval. As a result, some twenty-three young men at Murray have an- swered this call.

Page Twenty-two Already fifteen clubs in St. Paul have formed leagues for friendly games of basketball, swimming, and all the other sports that boys enjoy. Murray now has only a basketball league, but the club members have been clamoring for a chance to show their skill in other sports as well. The Murray club does not conHne itself to gallop- ing around basketball courts in shorts, however. They proved February 14 that as a social group they were second to none. Sponsoring the Valentine's Day dance, the boys proved themselves excellent hosts, and guests were sorry when the orchestra called it a night. The fact is proudly pointed out that the Hi-Y is not only a national organization, but international as well. '- Mr. Henry Soderberg, who spoke before an as- sembly here, declared that were it not for the Hi-Y and other like organizations, many soldiers cap- tured by the Nazis would have suffered greatly. The YMCA furnished amusements, food, clothing, and communication facilities. As their pledge states, they create, maintain, and extend, throughout the school and community, better standards of Christian living.

Little bees have nothing on the Murcurie Staff on deadline day. With proverbial industry, they fan their way through copy, checking and re-checking. 6'We go to press tomorrow,', can be either a hymn of satisfaction, or a deeper tone of woe. Nary a drone can be found in this hive, for Miss Margaret Glenn, Queen Bee of the staff, has long since learned the technique of eliminating such lazy characters. The little reporter bees buzz in importantly with their quota of news, the page planners soar furiously here and there trying to fit their jig-saw puzzle of articles together, the art editor rushes in with last minute cuts, and, as the deadline hour draws near, the hum grows louder and more constant, and Ger- aldine Markley, editor, has the Murcurie off to the printer. Over the creative glamour there is a metalic click, as Miss Elsea Petersonis business staE brings in the golden coin which pays for the Murcurie. But, as with bees, there is no rest for the busy staff. They must start on the next month's issue almost as soon as they are congratulated for the excellence ,of the present one.

2 IQ f ' 0 LC ang LIQJJ As the pocket edition is to a best seller, so 1 , the Iunior Band is to the Senior Band. There is the same high quality, but smaller in size! These musicians are the backbone of future Murray bands. Demonstrating their abilities here are Marjorie Wacklin, Iames Preus, and Roy Milton, clarinetist, flutist, and baritone horn soloist respectively. The big event for these seventh, eighth, and ninth graders, however, was their special con- cert given for their classmates and parents on March 12. In addition to those pictured, featured mem- bers were Esther Burgess, Gail Holzinger and the trumpet duet, Patsy Carlson and Charles Hedenstrom. x Ioan Morgan, Geraldine Pearson, Donald Wilson, Audrey Stephenson, Barbara Christianson, Iean Ansley, Ican Eyler, Barbara Pro- shek, Harold Forsberg, Marilyn Figg, Evelyn Hanson, Dona Lee Horton, Genevieve Kulenkamp, Donald Ausemus, Iohn Davidson, Roy Milton, Richard Olsen, Douglas Fenderson, Gerald Moberg, Darrell Douglas, Eugene Sargent, Wayne Rolph, Ward Iensen, Clarence Schaffncr, Patricia Carlson, Charles Hedenstrom, Duane Whaley, Iohn Fenderson, Charles Weigt, Iames Wilcox, Warren Fillmore, Carleton Brookins, Vernon Iudisch, Betty Boss, Sam Gray, Ianet Tripp, Russell Prickett, Gail Holzingcr, Iack King, Suzanne Preus, David Youngren, Iacqueline Grendahl, Neil Atkinson, Sylvia Kenaston, Howard Venners, Earlene Petrie, David Eide, Mary Iverson, Faith Skepstad, Iune Gunard, Grace Ellsworth, Denis Bakke, Keith Davis, Helen Finger, Ellen Gammell, Iack Folsom, Roger VVood, Paul Miclke, Thomas Cummings, Richard, Thomas, Nancy Baker, Donald McGrath, Marjorie Moore, Ioan Proshek, Marjorie Wacklin, Ioan Oakins, Bruce Schroeder, Iames Bailey, Esther Burgess, Iames Preus, Iames Colherg, Pamela Haas, Donald Olson, Donald Money, Patricia Shannon, Ierry Lemke, Robert Ioseph, Robert Stickney. Strike up the band! A shopworn phrase, this, but it takes on a special significance when it is Murray's Senior Band that is ringing out. When Miss Audrey Keneven leads the sixty-eight members in Colors are Elying, .it is a disloyal Murrayite who does not feel a swell of pride. This year, in addition to entertaining the whole school at assemblies, the Band gave two assembly concerts at other schools. - March found the Band at Marshall High School, and in April, they serenaded Humboldt High School. And, of course, the annual Spring band concert, pre- sented May 1 and 2, was a fitting display of talent. Not only can Murray boast an excellent concert band, but it has also become a marching unit. Re- splendent in new uniforms, the marching band made its first public appearance at the University of Min- nesota Agricultural School's Campus Day in May. Page Twentv-three
