In the spring they were called on by the seniors to help with the production of Seven Chances. This group of musicians rendered its laSt program at the gradua- tion exercises in the City Auditorium, May 23. The goal, that the orchestra set for itself second semester, was first place in the C.

Annual and Booster S tajjf TOP ROW Cleft to rightj-Froelich, King, Lauer, A. Makins, Bonfield, Lees, Giese, Donnelly, Sloop, Brooks, Owens, Dieter. SECOND ROW-Leonard, K. Whitehair, Hollar, Hurd, Gans, Van Duyne, Huston, D. Duck- wall, Gamber, G. Simmons. FIRST ROW-Rogers, A. Ayers, Romine, Stevens, Yancey, Hockensmith, Reneau, M. Whitehair, Harris, Weber, Thurber, Asling, D. J. Miller. T VVAS DECIDED that by raising the cost of the annual from fifty cents to seventy-five cents and using the magazine type inaugurated last year, it would be possible to continue the Or- ange and Brown for the students of A. H. S. Early in the fall, a staff was chosen to edit the 1933-34 yearbook. Margaret VVhitehair was chosen editor-in-chief, Hazel NVeber, associate editor, Ruth Hurd, organizations editor, Agnes Ayers, photograph editor, Bruce Nemecheck, sports edi- tor, and Elmer Hollar, business manager. This group, together with their advisor, Raymond Lees, have endeavored to bring to the students and fac- ulty of the high school an annual that will live up to the high standards which have been set up by the previous yearbooks. Under the management of Elmer Hollar, an in- teresting sales campaign was held to arouse the in- terest of the student body. Each class chose a can-- didate for annual queen, and the class selling the largest number of yearbooks had a page in the an- nual dedicated to their queen. The four girls chos- en were: Frances Kauffman, senior, Lois Coulson, junior, Betty Jean jones, sophomore, and jean Murphy, freshman. The seniors sold the most an- nuals, so Frances Kauffman was crowned annual queen. A different feature of this year's campaign was that money which had been checked in at the opening of school for locker rent could be used for the payment on an annual. The staff chose as its theme American History, and has attempted to carry this theme throughout the annual. The dedication is made to J. Earl En- dacott, instructor of American History in Abilene High School. As has been the custom of previous years, con- tracts were ,let to the Burger-Baird Engraving Company of Kansas City, Missouri, and to the Re- flector Printing Company of Abilene to print the annual. Organization pictures, group pictures, and snap- shots were taken throughout the year. Before Thanksgiving all the individual pictures of the sen- iors were taken. All the photography work was .lone this year by the Jeffcoat Studiti. HE ABlLENE HIGH SCHOOL BOOSTER has endeavored throughout the year to convey to the students and faculty the aims, deeds, and accomplishments of our high school. lt has been the policy of this bi--monthly paper to stimu- late sportsmanship and school spirit. ln order to give the members of the journalism class experience in the various lines of newspaper work, a new staff was elected three times during the year. The three editors-in-chief of the Boos- ter were: Alfred Makins, Betty Lou Harris, and Rosemary Gans, the news-editors were: Gwen- dolyn Romine, Stelouise Hockensmith, Lila Ruth Thurber, and Lynden Gamber. Other positions on the staff include: assignment editor, make-up edi- tor, sports editor, and business managers. Of all of these, the job of business manager is one of the most important. It is through the effort of these managers to collect advertisements from the busi- ness houses of Abilene, that the Booster is able to exist. Rosemary Gans, Junior Leonard, Glen Simmons, Lynden Gamber, Don Duckwall, Juanita Reneau, Hazel Huston, Stelouise Hockensmith, Robert Froelich, and Donald Dieter acted as busi- ness managers during the year. The entire journalism class acted as proof read- ers and copy readers. Raymond Lees, instructor, was the advisor of the staff. As the custom has been in the past, the journal- ism class had the privilege of putting out the Abi- lene sReflector, january 26. Betty Lou Harris, Stelouise Hockensmith, and Gwendolyn Romine were editors. The Booster was represented at the annual High School Journalism Conference held in Law- rence, October I7 and I8 by eight students, one of which, Margaret Wliitehair, was chosen to repre- sent all the girls at the conference in response to the address of welcome. A contract was let to the Reflector Printing Company for printing of the Booster.,' During the year twelve issues were published by the journ- alism students. Although few of the students who take journal- ism in high school will enter the newspaper field, the training gained in this class will be beneficial in future business life.

HE YEAR 1933-34 was an interesting year for the Girls' Glee Club. Under the baton of Mr. Harold E. George, the girls made a very ex- cellent demonstration of their talent and ability. The Glee Club consisted of thirty-three members. Before the Music Contest several eliminations were made in the Glee Club. Two tryouts were held for the solo events. ln the first all contestants but two were eliminated in both soprano and alto solos. These four were given more intensive train- ing, and were allowed a second opportunity at the final elimination in early April. From the personnel of the Glee Club, Mr. George selected the sextet. The members of this group were as follows: Faye Snyder and Opal Hoffman, first sopranosg Frances Kauffman and Katherine Moot, second sopranos, Maxine Bishop and Jean Buchanan, altos. Alternates were Hazel Weber, Ruth Mary Nelson, and Phyllis Lee Havener. In the C. K. L. Music Contest held in Salina April 20, the Abilene entrants placed as follows: Faye Snyder, in the girls' high voice, Frances Kauffman, girls' low voice, girls' sextet, and the girls' Glee Club. HE BOYS' GLEE CLUB of A. H. S. under the able direction of Harold F.. George was one of the most outstanding clubs of its kind ever produced in this school. The club has over thirty members and was well received from its first ap-- pearance to the last. This group made many appearances throughout the year, the first one in the high school chapel. At that time they showed great possibilities. Other appearances included: the Junior High, the Musical Department Concert held at the City Auditorium. and the broadcast over KFBI, in which program the soloists, and quartette took part. At the Central Kansas League Music contest in Salina, Loy Leffingwell took the only first place for Abilene in the bass solo event. This contest number was At the Close of Another Day. The boys' glee club placed seventh and the quartet re- ceived fifth place. This quartet was composed of Robert Nottorf. Vernon Witwer, Gilbert Norman, and Loy Leffingwell. Bishop Anderson placed sev- enth in the boys' high voice event. Plans are being made to organize this club into a pep organization as well as a music club. This should increase considerably the school spirit. Boys' Glee Club TOP ROW Cleft to rightj-Bowles, Norman, Collins, George, MacDonald, Weber, Cavender.
