TRIKE LIP THE MUSIC Step aside folks! Let 'em through! Hurry now! Let 'em through! Yes! that's what you hear when the circus comes to town as the band marches down the street. You can see the flashing, dashing, and gaily colored band uniforms long before you see their faces. Ah! 'tis a good sight to see. The bandmaster and orchestra leader is Paul S. Hangen, Jr. The big top , in which his office is located, is one of the busiest places in the circus. All hours of the morning and into the late hours of the night the band or orchestra is called upon to play for numerous plays and shows. Mr. Hangen has charge of classes in harmony and conducting. In these classes the students study scores and learn how to trans- pose. Another large part of the music for our circus is the vocal department. This department is headed by Miss Ida M. Reinert. The different organizations are Junior Chorus, Senior Chorus, Girls Glee Club, and Boys Glee Club. We are favored each year by one or more music nights. On these nights the instrumental and vocal departments join to put on the show. People from each group participate in the annual Alvin Kemp Night. This music night is held in a school in Berks County. The participants come from all the schools in this county. We are proud of these people and greatly admire them. E231
