It followed the adventures of a youn? aviator, Dick Taylor CTed Hartj and his two assistants Bob and Bill, fAlbertus Reda, Conrad Gunnellj in their search for the mysterious Belle of Bagdad , whom they wished to offer a screen contract. Dick falls in love with Jewel fEvelyne Fischerl the daughter of the Caliph fJohn Heustedl. She later turns out to be the Belle and promises to marry Dick and go to Hollywood. The comedv was furnished by Henrietta Whipstich CJane Waltonl, a disappointed spinster and Archie Fitzgibbons fClarence Rauschj, who loved not wise- ly but too well. The oriental atmosphere of the setting and the music made the operetta rather unique. The operetta cast and chorus were made up of approximately 80 people. They enjoyed working together for the production of the oper- etta. The work of the chorus as American tourists and native Persians was noteworthy. Mr. Maikowski and Miss Woodman directed the operetta very com- petently. Miss Alice Mary Furman accompanied the musical numbers of the operetta and deserves much credit. Page Forty-six 5 .X

Vassar High School is proud of its band. It is in a better con- dition this year than eve: before. It consists of 45 members ranging from grader: 6 to 12. The schedule was arranged the past year so the band could have practice every day. The pupils receive a full credit for the year's work. With this arrangement the band has had an opportunity to progress very rapidly and under Mr. Maikowskifs excellent leadership they have gain- ed a high standing in the minds of the citizens of the community as well as all other people having the privilege of hearing them. The band was much improved by the addilion of several new in- struments including a sousaphone and an alto horn. By working with people inthe grades Mr. Maikowski has been able to make the various sections of the band more balanced. The band has attended many band gatherings. The most impor- tant being the band festival at Owfsso. This was helpful to each mem- ber. They had the opportunity of hearing other High School Bands of Michigan play and also had the privilege of taking part in the mass band. The annual concerts were orginated by Mr. Maikowski and have proved ta be very successful. Many citizens of Vassar and near-by towns witnessed the fine concert given thi: year. It was named the Band Blaref' One of the most important events of the year was the county Band Festival held at Vassar in April. Bands representing Caro, Cass City, Mayville, and Millington were present. A clinic band made up of selected players from the five bands present was conducted by Dr. Wil- liam Norton of Flint. Mr. Maikowski is to be crezlitcd h'ghly in the way he has improv- cd the technique of the band. Page Forty-s lf 1
