Instead of sponsoring the- usual carnival in the fall, the music department planned early in the year a ser- ies of four concerts. Tickets were sold by the students of the music department to 550 music patrons. Since the students were busy with the maior pra- ductions scheduled, and because no district contests were held, not many solos and ensemble groups were formed. Some soloists throughout the year fulfilled the reqests for programs from organizations. Soloists were Mary Beth Ikerman, alto saxophone, James Hensley, French horn, Barbara Haiflich, soprano voice, Kathryn Gray, piano, and Bill Thompson, trombone, with Kathryn Gray accompanying for all who played for dif- ferent clubs and organizations in the city. The trumpet trio, which is made up of Joe Brode, Oliver Schneider, and George Stokes played Polka Dots with band accompaniment for the band concert in January, it played Triple Trumpeteers for the spring festival with Kathryn Gray accompaning on piano, and also will perform for commencement.

Publications Throw me a head! Be careful though. My kingdom for a flash- bulb. When does copy have to be in? Why, I'll never get this fin- ished- and on into the night go the cries of those working on publications. Those iunior high members, un- der the direction of Mrs. Helen Chapman, have been busier than ever this year. With a larger paper it has meant more time and work for these junior staffers. This group had the Junior High Times in the school paper, and we all read the results of their efforts, especially the editorials and features. We might even call them Junior Commandos, the way they attack news stories. The senior staff spent the year scurrying from classroom to cor-I ridor to cover that hot tip. Evelyn long and Gertrude Griffiths were named editors for the first and second semesters, respectively. The big change of the year came when the paper was in- creased from a four column paper into a five column paper. After- wards it held more of those jokes, features and pictures you look for. Miss Ruth .luve is the adviser. Those on the business staff played an important part in col- lecting advertisements from your favorite dealers. Sometimes it is hard, but more often than not, this group brought home the ba- con. Miss Hazel Collins is the group adviser. last, but far from least, are lhe seniors who produce their year book. lt meant many nights of worry, sweat, and toil for the edi- tor, Bob Damicone. His assistants, Beatrice Brick and Evelyn Long shared his labor for a better than last year's annual, despite war priorities. Page 28
