V U. of M. Gymnastics One of the first assemblies presented to us this year was a visit by the University of Michigan gymnastics team. Under the direction of Mr. Newt Loken, the five students, four men and one woman, presented an en- joyable afternoon's entertainment. Each had his own special routine to present, which consisted of handsprings, cartwheels, somersaults, and many other tumbling stunts. Later Mr. Loken held small contests with the other members on the team on the horizontal bars, German horse, and floor mats. When the assembly was over, all felt that the hour had been well spent and hoped for more assemblies like it in the future. Here, outnumbered by her teammates, was the only woman on the gymnastics team. She had to work hard to try to prove the theory that women are superior to men, for the male mem- bers were displaying startling gymnastic feats. Powerful muscles and excellent body co-ordination are needed in a stunt such as this. Here, a member shows us what can be done on the horizontal bars. Well, I caught you in the act that time, says our photog- rapher. This is one of the male members displaying his talents as he finishes his routine.

Entertainment at Its Last fall the Groves Senior Choir entertained a very famous vocal group from the University of Indi- ana. This musical organization, called the Singing Hoosiers and the Hoosier Queensn, has 'entertained all over the country and in recent years has toured Europe for the U.S.O. They are a versatile group. Drama, gaiety, or the serious, all are expressed by these students through a love of music and a desire to entertain. An inherent love of music and individual persopality makelthis high-calibre group sparkle with an in ectious vita ity. ' George,F. Krueger, father of our own choir direc- tor.. Fritz' Krueger, directs the Hoosiers with en- thuslasm and capability. He has been assistant director under such conductors as Toscanini and Rachmaninoff and uses his experience to make the Hoosiers one of the most popular programs of the country. His stu- lfiems E355 UHF makes us sing better than we really now ow to sing. The Hoosiers, who stayed with members of our Groves choir during their brief visit, presented an Mr. George Krueger, 5'Mr. K. to those who know him best, directs as the Singing Hoosiers and Hoosier Queens give their unique performance in the Groves Auditorium. Best assembly for the entire student body and an evening performance open to all. The programs were received with enthusiastic welcome and those attending agreed that it was a wonderful displav of musical talent. Later this year the Groves Senior High choir intro- duced a cultural exchange program with other high schools of our area when they hosted the West Bloom- field Choir in a ioint program presented in the school gymnasium on Thursday, March 2. The West Bloom- field Choir, with a membership of over sixty students, was directed by Mr. Merlin Asplin. Presenting a fine program featuring soloists and ensembles, the choir provided relaxing entertainment for the assembly. Our own choir took the stage to complete the dual pro- gram of excellent student entertainment. Programs such as these enrich our school year and help to awaken an appreciation of good music. In the future we hope to increase the number of musical pro- grams and make music appreciation a traditional part of our school life.
