 VIVE £ ARCHBOLD w ! MUSIC DEPARTMENT ORCHESTRA AND BAND Under the expert guidance of Mr. D. D. Armstrong the Archbold High School Orchestra has achieved marked success. Throughout the past year the orchestra has played at all high school entertainments, skillfully adding to its reputation. Another innovation this year is the Band, which is still in its infancy. How- ever, it is rapidly progressing and by next year should be prepared for public ap- pearances. The members of the orchestra are: Rozella Miller Ruby Spiess Beverly Bacon Hazel Zimmerman Donald Dominique Marguerite Rupp Anna Siegel William Wacke Mariette Dominique La Jane Lauber Chelmer Mast Verile Neuhauser Pauline Rupp Gladys Winzeler Paul Short Phyilis Thomas Mary Catherine Grime Jane Kleuphel Evelyn Rupp Pauline Thomas Sarabell Aungst Helen Neuhauser Robert Roedel Donald Stamm Martha Jar.e Bourquin Madlyn Taylor Helen Walter Robert Venier Marilyn Taylor GLEE CLUBS The Girls' Glee Club this year had an enrollment of fifty-one members, the largest in history. It may easily be said, however, that the quality of their sing- ing was proportional to the number in the class. Upon organization, work was begun on “The Walrus and the Carpenter.” This work is particularly difficult for High School Glee Clubs and is usually given by a college chorus. By intensive work it was finally mastered to the extent that it was given successfully in Chapel on April 2nd. The Boys’ Glee Club was organized particularly to develop and encourage part singing by male voices. As music has long been an emotional expression, the advantages of a male chorus to vary musical programs and to give pleasure to both singers and audience are becoming increasingly evident. This year the Glee Club used the Armstage Glee Book, which included songs of effective harmonization which are justly popular, together with some nov- elties covering a wide field of interest and a variety of moods. —( 22 )—

DRAMATICS Each year dramatics plays an important part in the extra curricular activ- ities of Archbold High School. This season the plays presented were very suc- cessful and highly received by the students and townspeople. The first play to be presented was “Here Comes Patricia,” a delightful three act comedy given March 9, with a well chosen high school cast, which was as follows: Jimmy Clark ..... Adam Wade ....... Elbert Hastings ... Tim Hopper ...... Bud Flannigan ... Patricia Grayson Mrs. Smith-Porter Angeline Knoop ... Minnie Knoop .... Mrs. Carroll .... Elsie Crowder ... ........ Charles Heer .... Herbert Nofziger ......... Felix Shibler ......... Lester Rich ........... Glen Rupp ...... Elizabeth Rupp ........ Beverly Bacon .... Elizabeth Engelman .... Frances Engelman .......... Irene Ruffer Bernadine Hollingshead “Her Step-Husba::d” On April 17, the Junior Class of Archbold presented a humorous comedy entitled “Her Step-Husband”. Practically the entire class was included in this pleasing play, which was considered by the audience one of the best of the season. The cast for the play was as follows: Mr. Marshall ................ Dr. “Jerry Niles ........... Limpy Lannigan .............. Officer Shea ................ Mrs. Marshall ............... Mrs. Allen .................. Aunt “Emmy” Paisley ......... Cousin Florence ............. Stella ...................... William Winzeler ..... Ralph Short ...... Daryl Frey Edward Schlatter .. Beverly Bacon Golden McNicoll .... Irene Ruffer Hazel Zimmerman .... Helen Dimke Nothing But the Truth One of the most important features of the Commencement Exercises each year is the presentation by the Seniors of a three act play. The Senior Class of 1931 selected for their presentation, “Nothing But the Truth.” Although the play was given by a graduating class of several years ago, it was fully appre- ciated by all who saw it. The Seniors who made up the cast of characters are: Bob Bennett .......................... Charles Heer Mr. Ralston ........................... Lester Rich Dick Donnelly ......................... Felix Shibler Van Dusen ....................................... Tom Mansfield Bishop Doran ........................... Clare Bacon Mrs. Ralston ......................... Rozella Miller Ethel Clark ......................... Elizabeth Rupp Mabel Jackson ..................... Georgia Leininger Sable Jackson ..................... Gertrude Buehrer Gwen Ralston ............................ Ruby Spiess Martha ................................ Pearl Druhot Without an efficient coach, however, plays are not successful, so much credit must be given to Mr. T. L. Parker, who carefully directed all the dramatics of Archbold High School. ( 23 )—
