The second semesfer officers were: Sadie Williams, presidenfg Marilyn Travaille, vice-presidenfg and Dolores Gomes, secrefary-freasurer. The members decided fhey would like fo have a weiner roasf and swimming parfy, and invifed fhe faculfy mem- bers fo be fheir guesfs. Everybody had a good fime, buf many sounded wafer- loggeol for a fime afferward. The oufsfanding acfivify for fhe second semesfer was fhe Spring Concerf.

Even fhough if was fough going af fimes, fhe girls and Mr. Azevedo can look back on fhis year wifh a smile. ORCHESTRA ' The mighfy liffle orchesfra sfarfed fhe year exacfly 2l sfrong. Even fhough if was composed of mosfly freshmen and sophomores, if had gained in number and popularify since lasf year. We were very proud of our firsf public appearance, fhe Chrisfmas Concerf, for we received many fine complimenfs for our work. Nexf in our line of appear- ances came fhe school play where we enferfained fhe audience befween acfs. We gave fhe band our supporf in fheir work for new uniforms when we did our porfion of fhe Spring Concerf. Then for our lasf performance we supplied fhe music for Bac- calaureafe.

' The second semesfer officers were: Dwighf Nyquisfjpresidenfg and Carla Han- sen, secrefary-freasurer. For our parfy fhis year, we had a plain old-fashioned parfy. Many games were played, and plenfy fo eaf was provided. Several of fhe band members affended fhe opera Carmen and wenf fo Chinafown for dinner afferward.
