 O s £VJLC£ Mrs. Hermione Vaughn Banks is well liked by her students. She spends long hours in planning musical events and finding new and different music. When stu- dents are asked what they think of Mrs. Banks, they answer: “She’s wonderful.” She is the sponsor of the Talent Club and teaches A Cappella, Girls’ and Boys’ Glee and Mixed Chorus. Last year she took the A Cappella on an overnight trip to Long Beach for a Music Festival. This year the A Cap- pella attended the Berkeley Music Festival at the Univ- ersity of California during Easter vacation. A group of twenty students from the A Cappella Choir spent five days on the UC campus. Our vocal music teacher received her Bachelor of Music Education degree at USC and she also has a Master of Arts degree. She taught school six years in Hollywood and 17 years in Texas before coming to AV. Because of her capable direction of the school oper- ettas each year, AV’s student body looks forward to this event as a high point in the school year. Successful pro- duction of the operettas means many long hours of hard work for students participating. The most gratifying approval to them is the happy smile from their friend and instructor that says theirs was a job well done. Her contributions to the AV vocal music world will be fondly remembered by her students and audiences. MRS.
