Between the noon and the evening, When afternoon is nearly half goneg Comes a period in the day's recitations, By English VIII, 'tis known. We can hear through the ceiling o'er us The scraping of many feet, The noise of chairs being moved: Here the Biologists meet. Throu 'h three lon windows to the east, 2 R' fQuite oftenh we steal a view, Of part of the house tops of Tipton, Some very old and some new. Here our many duties are heavy, ' We learn to compose-and to spell. Our instructor so wise and so patient, Has rlrilled us, oh, Very well! But do you think, oh learned Senior, That because you use good grammar The world will accept without question, Receive you in glorious manner? It may not, but our themes live forever Yes, forever and a day, On the shelves in Room 11 Till time shall fade away! Page twenty-sciien

V. , BAND THE ORCH ESTRA THE JUNIOR MUSICALE twenty ewht I l-- c WYE The band was organized three years ago in the summer of 1934. This year the new director, Mr. Planck, has continued the fine work of Mr. Emerson, the first bandmaster, by making it successful in its purpose of entertaining those who enjoy music, providing an oppor- tunity for those who want to play, and increasing the spirit of T. H. S. During the summer of 1935 and 1936 concerts were given at the park. Last year and this, marches of the band were enjoyed by the many basketball fans at each game. 4 Interest is growing in the band and this year it has increased in its membership until there are eight cornets, two saxophones, eight clarinets, three trombones, two mellophones, one French horn, two baritones, one sousa- phone, a snare drum, a bass drum, and cymbals, making a total of 30 pieces. Tipton High School has been fortunate in having a splendid orchestra for more than twenty-five years and this year is no exception. The first semester there were only seventeen members, but the second semester brought an increase of five. The orchestra is composed of ten violins, two French horns, a cello, a bass viol, two clari- nets, a trumpet, a cornet, a trombone, drums, and piano. Miss Addleman displayed her ability in conducting the orchestra for the Junior High Operetta and Com- mencement. The orchestra, under the leadership of Miss Lois Slone, also played for the High School Operetta and the Christmas program. The Junior Musicale, which has for its special name The Cheerie Chanters , is composed of girls in high school who are talented as well as interested in music. The purpose of the club is to further develop the musical knowledge of its members. This club meets twice a month, usually in the home of a member. At each meeting the study of the topic chosen at the beginning of each school year is taken up. This year the twenty-three members have made a special study of instruments. In October, the club sponsored a skating party. The annual Valentine Dance was held at the K. of C. Hall. In May, 1936, the organization took part in the contest held by the National Federation of Music Clubs at In- dianapolis. A beautiful loving cup was won for first place in the accompanied group singing division. This year the club again plans to enter the same contest. At the end of the first semester the members wel' comed their new sponsor, Miss Helen Addleman, into the club. Prior to this time, Miss Lois Slone had been the helpful adviser. Tryouts for the club are held at the end of each semester, and any girl in high school is eligible. 1 -i I ,J W 1-1 -+. . 1 1 bl - - n it vi' ' '95 wr 45, 1 ' . L.
