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.

The things I've learned this year I'm sure are more than all the rest. Ten thousand sheets and tablet backs Have told me more than you could guess. Oh yes, the kids translated Caesar And got their themes like Coble said But after class it did no good- They jammed it all into my head , The meals Ive'had, made up of scraps From dinner pails-you should have seen Of love affairs Ive learned in notes! Then teacherk tests-I ve owned them too And tardy slips tho, what a rulinglj Old blotters, pens, and gum thats chewed Include a part of my years schooling.- . -Hope Wiggins I You'd laugh a lotTThey've been a scream! mar!
