MUSIC The band, chorus, and soloists, under the direction of Mr. Ward Grantham have had an active year. Besides playing at all home basketball games, the band performed at the Brown County Fall Celebration, Booster Tag Day, Chamber of Commerce Christmas Parade, March of Dimes Drive, and the Hersman Community meeting. This year marked the first appearance of the band at a District Contest for many years. The band consists of 35 members and six baton twirlers. Included in the band are the trumpet sextet and the saxophone quartet. The mixed chorus with sixty-two members presented a Christmas program. With the assistance of many soloists and ensembles from the band, the Music Department gave a Spring concert. All these groups were present at the contest in Barry: the mixed chorus, girls chorus, Melo-dears, Bells of Note and soloists. Piano accompanists for these events were Leona Pam, Carol Gibson, Adeline Pam, and Marie Gerdes. Letters were awarded this year to members of the chorus. This was done by earning merits on a minimum of 1500 and placing in the first 30% of the chorus. Those who received superior ratings at the district contest and who competed at the state contest are as follows: Joan Reathaford, Rita Bradbury, Lila Logsdon, Janis Christner, and Carlene Husted, Baton Ensemble; Rita Bradbury, Baton Solo; Dorothy Sailer, Vocal Solo, girl's low voice; David Mobley, Vocal Solo, boy's medium voice; and Mary Lewis, Flute Solo. « 14 »

The Rambler was first published by the Mt. Sterling High School in 1928. Financial difficulties caused its demise in 1929. In 1938 the yearbook was revived under the leadership of Mary McCutcheon Hoffsess and William A. Harriman. Through the ads of local and nearby merchants every year, the Rambler is able to continue publication. The year 1952 marks the sixteenth publication. Throughout the past years the Rambler Staff has tried to improve your yearbook. This year being the first year in the new school, the Rambler has striven to have a yearbook worthy of the school. Our artist, Mary Moorman, with the assistance of Marjorie Bullard, created the division pages. Bob Walker, assisted by Chloe Davis, did the editing. Joan Cox, secretary and treasurer, kept the records. The sports section was edited by Mike Bryant, Darrel Parker, Dave O'Connell, and Jim Grover. Roger Quinn and Bruce Butler worked on the front part of the book. Genna Kirgan was in charge of the typing. The snapshots were taken by Mike Bryant and Dorothy Sailer. Ads were solicited by Leona Pam, Virginia Kerr, and Patsy DeWitt. Mr. Benson and Mr. Verticchio were our able sponsors. Earl Wilson, Sr., and Earl Wilson, Jr., did the photography. The Peoria Engraving Company, Peoria, did our engraving; and the Huston-Patterson Corporation, Decatur, did the binding and printing. « 16 »
