x A. l-1. S. Band The Allentown High School Band, under the watchful guidance of lVlr. Harvey Prescott, has had an active year, filled with painstaking effort on the part of its members. Although the band members put forth so much effort to supply us with pleasure, they had a lot of fun doing it. Our band, shining as always, played smooth music for concerts and plays. At all our foot- ball and basketball games, the band was at hand, demonstrating the musical training they had acquired. Many onlookers have been delightfully surprised at the spectacular marching and drilling of our band members, lead by that majestic drum major, Cliff lVliley. This year the band has been presented with new uniforms, for which the school had longed for several years. Now, as they march, they create a greater sensation than ever before. The class of '37 expresses its thanks to Director Harvey Prescott and his band, and hopes that in the years to come he may continue to have reason for pride in his band and its work. Cgornetsfil.

It is one of the features of the school of which Allentown is most proud. To the capable leader- ship of the director, Mr. Harvey Prescott, the orchestra owes its success. The orchestra provides music for routine, as well as for exhibition occasions, auditorium pro- grams, educational meetings, and class plays all get the added touch that orchestra music alone can give, and each occasion has won favor and praise from the listeners. Director l-larvey Prescott's system of teaching and coaching turns out many a young musician, ready for adult work in other organizations. We, of the class of '37, deeply appreciate the efforts that have been put forth by the orchestra and lVlr. Prescott. The personnel of the orchestra follows: Violinsfj. Kcinmcrcr, j. Long, R.

National Honor Society The cream of the scholastic crop was again assembled on the recommendation of the entire faculty, to form one of the most powerful organizations in high school. The honor students, under the enthusiastic and progressive guidance of Mr. Allam, were completely re-organized in the second semester, but in the few months of their activity they rose to prominence time and again. The Honor Society this year worked with an eye to the future: precedents were established and foundations were laid to perpetuate the activities of the organization. It is work like this that has made National Honor Society more than a name.
