MUSIC MAKERS l,is1enT XVhat are those sounds emanating from the large auditorium? Perhaps they are the groans of students suffering the after-effects of re- gents . , . but no . . . upon opening the auditorium door, we are greeted hy an impressive sight: any one of Davis' three musical organiza- tions is practicing and perfecting its talents for future public performances. Many Hne musicians. some of whom are already professionals, make up the BAND. ORCHESTRA and CHOIR. There is George Douglas and his vibrant saxophone. and over there at the piano are Dick Hyman and Charlotte Stolmaker who really make the ebony and white keys fly. 62 Or. perhaps, it is a rehearsal of Mr. Nielsen's all-girl chorus. which boasts such soloists as Gloria Muddell, Margaret Pfeiffer, and Kirsten Hansen. This group has brightened many as- semblies with their performances. Then again the band might be responsible for the musical reverbation. For, with Mr. l.icht supervising, it meets twice a week to prepare for the big events of the season. Their peppy marches and handsome Maroon and White uni- forms have greately enlivened football games and aided in cheering our team on to victory. They have also responded willingly to calls beyond their usual line of duty. Their great' perfor- mance at Proctor's for the war loan rally was a typical reply to these calls. The rally featured such specialists as Eddie Riznyk and his singing clarinet. John D'Angelo and his Xylophone. and Donald Rhind. who revived many old favorites on his accordion. Or it might be the orchestra which is response ihle for the music. Every Tuesday and Thurs- day we can watch the orchestra rehearsal-some 50 students-under the baton of Mr. Nielsen. We may watch the flying bows of viiolinists such as concert-master Otto Menzel. or assistant con- ductor Sarah Bates, or we may see the agile- tingered flute players such as Dick Sagman. We may also watch and listen to the accomplishments of the puffing trumpeters. husky drummers. and energetic trombonists. They practice tirelessly for P. T. A. concerts, graduations and rallies. In the future when the fanfare of trumpets or the melodious strains of a song greet your ears. you may know that the Davis musical swing shift is going full force. INDENTIFICATIONV-Cliopl Drum Major.

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. But Jack has nc opportunity to become dull while in Davis, for here at the Hilltop there are a number of clubs to provide the diversion andl entertainment which he needs to balance his scholastic attempts. Nc matter what his interests or talents are, he will find an outlet for them in one of these many extra- curricular organizations. If Jack, or any other student, is language-minded he may join either one of the French clubs, or the Spanish or Italian clubs, and under the guidance of the club sponsor he can converse with other students and improve his proficiency in that language. A knowledge of the tongues of all our world neighbors will do much to strengthen our relations with them as we confer with them, and otherwise work to promote permanent peace, at the close of the present war. If Jack has a talent for mathematics, there is a club in which he may exercise and improve the ability which, in later years, he may employ as his contribution in designing and planning world reconstruction. He has also many recreational facilities to help him spend his leisure time enjoyably and profitably, he may join the Dance Club, Rifle Club, Camera Club, Bowling Club, or any of the numerous other organizations. All of these clubs play an inconspicuous but extremely important role in the life of the high school student. They constitute a major step in his development from student to adult, for he will have an excellent foundation for his social, cultural, and diplomatic relations with his friends, business associates and global neighbors in the world of tomorrow. 64
