This appear- ance officially opens the year ' s activities of the band. The band, directed by Mr. Bennett, featured a patriotic salute to Old Glory at the beginning of each basketball game this season. Several members of the band displayed their directing skill at a cleverly given convocation on April 3. On the program were many military and patriotic favorites. There are fifty-two musicians in the band, fourteen new this year. One new in- strument, a baritone saxophone, was purchased. On May 14, the band presented their annual concert at the community building. Txoenty-jour

The programs for the year were of unusual interest . Mrs. M. S. Smith, Miss Hew- itt, the sponsor of the Girl Reserve Club, and Mrs. Harold Venis presented talks on sub- jects of unusual interest. The Junior girls, the Senior boys ' tumbling team, the Sym- phonettes, and the Sophomores each entertained with programs. On December 22, the members entertained their boy friends at a Good Fellowship ' Banquet at the First Reformed Church. The scene for the banquet was a night club, complete with artistically designed murals and appropriate center pieces on the tables. They made their mothers happy at their annual Mother-Daughter Banquet on May 8, which was a very pretty and entertaining affair. Thus ended a very full and profitable year in the annals of Girl Reserve history. Twenty-three

One of the divisions of the music department is the Girls ' Glee Club consisting of sixty-three members under the supervision of Mrs. Olive M. Grimsley. Their major appearance was on December 14 when they presented their annual Christmas cantata The Heavenly Child at the Presbyterian Church. The presentation was judged as one of the very best ever given by the Glee Club. As a special offering on May Day they presented Minced Pie and Pickles or a Prescription for a Nightmare displaying the various talents of the personnel of the club. A group of nine members of the club, the Symphonettes, furnished many beau- tiful service features during the year. First row: Francile Worthman — pianist, Betty Osborn.
