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.

Buddy Kyle, Earl Band Follows Bennett ' s Baton What a thrill we Tiger fans get when the Bluffton Band, playing our beloved Black and Crimson , comes marching down the field at the first football game. 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

Senior Class Pure As the Mrs. Logan was the typical nagging wife as she ordered her husband to go do the dishes, causing many a laugh by their bickering back and forth. What a shock it was for Purity to find a baby in Mr. and Mrs. Logan ' s barn. Purity begged Mrs. Logan for sym- pathy for the little foundling while Imogene Pickens did all she could to discourage t he idea. E. Z. Pickens and Alison Hewlitt nearly caused the latter ' s mother to have hysteria when she found her daughter in love with none other than Pickens, the son of a pickle dealer. Twenty-six
