WE REFLECT WITH PRIDE . We will always remember the enjoyment we had in extra-class school- activities, but also that with this fun we accomplished much work. It was fun to be in the Junior play, the operettas and the Viking Festivals, but yet we worked hard learning lines, setting up scenery, and selling tickets. Some- times it seemed as though our plays would never be a success, but on the night of performances things always seemed to be organized. Much work was put into our music department also. At the beginning of our high school days our band was small, our glee club was small, and we didn't even have a High School Choir. Under the capable leadership of Mrs. Frye and Mr. LoPatin, our music department grew. We now have as fine a marching band and concert band as has any other school our size. Our glee club has won State and District honors at contests and our Choir has gone to the Massed Festival at Kalamazoo and has giv-en many performances right in our own school that we can be very proud of. There are many more clubs and groups we have attended. There is the Truth for Youth group, the Student Council, the Y-teens and Hi-Y groups and the Orbit staff. Sometimes we worked energetically, sometimes enthusiastically, and some- times slavishly, but yet we had fun. And each project was eventually con- cluded with the satisfaction which results from accomplishment. 32

One of the big money making projects of the year was the school-wide magazine drive. Other sources of revenue were the Student Council movies and student assembly cards. As a result of the council's hard work and the schoolls co-operation a permanent public address system for the athletic field was purchased. The Student Council also sponsored a desk clean-up campaign and made an effort to boost the schoolis morale. Left to right. seated: P. Boom, E. De Young, J. Phillips, D.
