SCHOOL BAND The Andover School Band, an organization heretofore little known outside the immediately surrounding territory, stepped into the lime- light and achieved considerable honor by plac- ing third in the state contest for class C bands at Akron, Saturday, May 4th. It is an organiza- tion made up of 8 cornets, 15 clarinets, 3 saxo- phones, 1 bassoon, 4 basses, 2 baritones, 1 oboe. 4 drums, 5 trombones, 4 flutes and 4 alto horns. in all a membership of 51, 16 of which have joined since last September. The leader is Mr. Luoma who is not only very capable in that capacity but is very well liked as a friend to all. The band has been very successful since launching upon its career. During the past year, the organization played at Dorset Street Fair, at the Ashtabula bridge celebration, at Brookfield and at Richmond High School. Also several concerts were given in the home school. The biggest and finest trip of the year was that one to the state contests. A great deal of time and hard work was used in getting ready for the trip and participation in the contest. The band left Thursday noon, some in a huge bus, others in private cars furnished by good friends of the school. Upon arrival in Akron, members of the band were assigned rooms with private families in the city and surrounding towns. Garfield High School was made the headquarters for the class C bands. On Friday, at ten o'clock, the band gave the contest pieces. Everything went along just fine, and everyone felt that the work of the band was splendid. During the afternoon, several of the members went on an inspection tour of the Firestone Rubber Company. Happy though somewhat tired, the whole group re- turned to Andover, Saturday night. During the summer months, the band has several engagements in sight. On Memorial Day we will furnish music for services 'at Lines- ville. Music will be handed out to visitors at least one evening a week, here in Andover, at regular evening concerts. ORCHESTRA The orchestra was reorganized this year under the direction of Mr. Luoma. The group was reduced in size so that it could be used to better advantage. In many of the engagements last year, the space alloted the orchestra was inadequate for the large number of members. The names.of those in the orchestra this year follow: Shirley Loveland, piano, Samuel Luse, Ruth Fitts and Roberta Crum, violins, Emerson Parker, trurnpetg George Harrison, flute, Thel- ma Palmer, drums, Paul Tabor, bassg Howard Veneen, clarinetg and Marion Vickery, alto. The orchestra practices once a week and has played several times in public. Due to the extra work in getting ready for the band con- test, the orchestra has been unable to fill as many engagements this year as last. Page Sixteen

Harold Peebles has not been tardy and missed only one day of school for the year. We were sorry to have Lyle McCormick withdraw for the last five months because of illness. Jean Phillips also will be unable to finish the school year because of eye trouble. SECOND The total enrollment for the second grade is 33. However at the close of school there arc only 26 in the grade, seven pupils leaving during the year while four entered from other schools. Attendance in the second grade has been reduced by the ravages of mumps, measles. whooping cough and chicken-pox. Nearly 9V6l'y person in the grade has been out of school for at least one of these diseases. During the winter, members of the room carried out a Clean Teeth crusade. The children were to brush their teeth twice each day and at the end of three months were to visit a dentist for an examination. The fol- lowing were successful in carrying out the project: Bliss Fitts Jr., Emerson Albert, Marian Burns, Louise Babcock, Dane Crawford and Anna Warren. A Warm Breakfast cam- paign was also conducted during the year. The first, second and third grades gave an 4-Q-to-o-0+-o-o Q-sooo-oavoo c+eo 0,04 oar o FIRST The enrollment for the first grade at the beginning of the year was 31. However, several children have moved away and more have entered so that at the present, the enrollment stands at 25. High hopes were held that a few perfect attendance records would me main- tained, but measles and mumps spoiled that record. Among the porjects taken up for the year were the constructions of a house for the Three Bears and My Page books, the latter in con- nection with reading. During Education Week the first grade had the Eight Health Rules as a project. The grade bought a new set of Wag and Put? o-re oo+4-rreoo+oo-ro-+00-o-o o-Q 0444+-0+-Q-Q-o-v GRADE The third grade made health booklets in February. With pictures we told how to eat and live to be healthy. At present we are making Geography note- books illustrating the work of the year which has been the necessities of man, food, clothing, shelter, tools and modes of travel and trans- portation. GRADE operetta, Goldilocks' Adventure , on the 12th of December. With their share of the proceeds, the second grade bought a set of supplementary readers. . In reading, this year, the grade has read fifteen sets of supplementary readers as well as the four basal readers for the grade. In arith- metic, the pupils have studied the combinations in addition and subtraction, learned to tell time, to use Roman numerals, to multiply and divide by two and three. A nature study project was begun in April, in the form of an eggshell garden. Beans were planted in eggshells, and everyone enjoyed watching the growth of the plants. Those on the honor roll for the year are: Louise Babcock, Raymond Betts, Marian Burns, James Carr, Marilynn French, Geraldine Goff, Betty Hatton, Roy Hoover, Dale Jerome, Don Marr, Dorothy Maurer, Virginia Shepard and Clover Sparling. -Lona Miller. GRADE readers with the money obtained from the operetta. During the winter, two close races in phonics held our interest. A Clean Hands and Face Club was organized. Those obeying the rules of the club for a period of six weeks were given a badge. At the first signs of spring, the pupils began a thorough house cleaning. A complete re- arrangement of the room was accomplished and a library established. All the boys expressed great satisfaction because there were no rugs or carpets to clean. Ellajane Bishop, Betty Gault, George Par- sons, Lillian Salo, Norman Simmons, Betty Jeanne Espy and Margaret Ann Morrow are on the Honor Roll for the year. Page F :ftaen 9-yo-0-0-9

DRAMATIC CLUB The Dramatics Club waslorganized this year for High School pupils wishing to study and produce a play. Under the direction of Mr. Martin, the members studied dramatic English through the medium of the modern drama, and XVSFG able to secure a better idea of expression and to develop a power of interpretation not obtained in the classic English courses. As a vehicle of study, the modern three-act comedy, Blame It On Sandy , was chosen. Definite progress, class enthusiasm, and good will in study gave rise to the idea of presenting the play to the public. The entire club par- ticipated in all rehearsals, and the producing cast was selected only a few days previous to the public presentation. The play met with the approval of an appreciative audience. The proceeds netted about 3570. Twenty-five dollars was given towards the expenses of the band trip to Akron. The remainder was left for the dramatic club of next year. Members elected Gladys Eastlake as their president. Lucille Williams was elected vice- president, while Clover Perry was secretary. Other members of the club Were: Wallace Ding- man, Thelma Palmer, Alfred Wells, Warren Russell, Howard' Maloney., Shirley Loveland.
