inofz dlflefocfiea The records of these Minbr Melodies were played at many school and civic activities throughout the year. The girls' sexteti5l, started out the round of musical activities of the year by singing for the Coronation festivities. This organization consisted of Trudy Vandersluis, Ruth Friedel, Millicent Bruce, Jeanne Christensen, Marlene Brick, and Helen Han- sen. Beverly Breazeale was their accompanist. At the Christmas program, directed by a committee of teachers, several tableaux scenes were presented, such as the one pictured inl3l. The background music for these scenes was furnished by the mixed chorus under the direction of Mr, Griswold. Other music was provided by soloists and the l.'AIIegro club. The mixed octet il l consisting of Franklin Norman, Tom Brown, Daryl Peterson, Dwight Sloat, Ann Straw, Trudy Vandersluis, Jeanne Christensen, and Marlene Brick, appeared at the Christmas program and they climaxed their highly successful year by receiving a superior rating at the music contest in DeSmet. Leaning toward the spiritual side of music, the boys' quartet was called upon many times to lend a finishing touch to school events One of their most popular songs was Dry Bones. At the junior-senior banquet this four made the piece even more realistic by pointing to the bones on a skeleton which they got from Mr. BeIl's biology room. This group which con- sisted of Daryl Peterson, Dwight Sloat, Tom Brown, and Franklin Norman, also walked away with a superior rating at the contest. Our two presidents of the choral section of our ex- tensive music department are Anita Aabergi7l and Ruth Friedell6l. Anita is the president of chorus and Ruth is L'Allegro prexy, Through their co-operation with the other officers, many demands have been ful- filled. v N in 'A QS, M ' ra it ., 5 '- Vx, 'X f i,.XyL, s A 1 N 'F 'ft 'tt-N.

Uuning Our executive board consists of fourteen members who manage our athletic activities, and also our social and financial ones. As a resourceful organiza- tion, we finance all of our activities by the sale of the various kinds of sweets in the basketball and football seasons. We sponsor seven major activities during the year. Our first, to get you in the mood for sports, is speed- ball. Since it is on the order of one of our favorite sports, football, many participate in it. We play such games as ping pong, badminton i2l, shuffle- board and various other sports which are all placed under the classification of Recreational Games. With thelcoming of winter, we begin our basketball season. An exceptionally popular sport, basketball il l spurs up much interest in GAA members. Later we have volleyball, which is almost as popular as basket- ball. Tumbling C9 and lOl calls for more skill than does any other sport. Our tumblers are divided into the advanced group and a beginner group. The advanced group performed in between halves of the regional basketball tournament and at a Physical Education program as a climax of the season. In the spring we have softball ill and l5l and track K3, l2, l3 and l4l, alternating them every other night after school. Though we are an athletic association, our interests are also social. Three major social events take place every year. The first of these, our picnic, takes place in the fall and serves as a means of getting ac- quainted. One of the highlights of our banquet, the next event, is the counselor who gives advice on our teen-
