'gmwl Endeavoring within both modern and classic realms, the 50-piece band under the direction of Mr. Prince Schaeffer has, by public proclaim, im- proved considerably over last year. While giving three concerts, playing for basketball games, Christmas program, and the Alaska Day celebration, the band has attained praise worth mention. This as part of their preparation for the music festival has given the band members a note of pride in their group. Culminating the year's work, the group traveled to Juneau for the yearly participation in the Southeastern Alaska Music Festival. Numbers performed at the festival were High School Cadets March' by Sousa, 'Hungarian Dance No. 5 by Brahms, and Die Fledermaus' fOverture to the Operaj by Strauss. Ensemble groups performing for our local service clubs were the reed quartet and clarinet trio coached by the first senior band officer, David Rhoades. The organization is represented by student band officers: First officer, Senior-David Rhoadesg Junior-Greg Ripley. Second officer, Senior-Lauretta Walton: Junior-Dotty Kuehn.

Singing correctly is to rejoice that life is worth living. To sing and sing correctly has been the goal of each member of the chorus throughout the year's activities. Culturally, the group has gained a knowledge of the classic era through music as well as a greater understanding of the modern music form and tonality. Co-operation, co-ordination, and a possible realization that singing can correct uncorrect speech habits has given greater incentive for the chorus and its efforts. As a functioning organization of the school the chorus has perforrned, under the direction of Mr. Prince Schaeffer, for each of the three concerts, Christmas prograrn, and has given creditable evidence of its singing abil- ities at the annual Southeastern Alaska Music Festival. Stodola Purnpa' by Strickling, Where 'er You Walk' by Handel and Swing Low Sweet Chariot' arranged by Fred Waring were the numbers performed by the chorus for the festival this year. 'AAt the festival, soloist Nancy Yaw, soprano, sang How Lovely are Thy Dwellings' by Liddle, and Greg Ripley, baritone, sang 'Gypsy Love Song' by Victor Herbert.
