A different arrangement of classes this year permitted this added facility. Under the direction of Mr. R. R. Robinson, the glee club participated in the Buchanan High School Musi- cal Review held February 8, 1940. Every year the members of the glee club take part in the music festival sponsored by different parts of the district. This year St. Joseph was host. No senior class can be graduated with dignity with- out the harmonious, blending voices of the glee club.

This year only one member of the squad had had any previous experi- ence. In October the regular schedule commenced with the squad participating in a non-decision practice debate at Benton Har- bor. On November 14, the team traveled to Kalamazoo where the affirmative, upheld by Philip Birong, Gael Pierce, and Ralph Rosenberg, Won one of their two debates. The nega- tive upheld by Lucille Hardebeck, Bill Carlisle alternatively with Ruth Stukas, and Margaret Miller, also won one of their two debates. On January 13, the teams again met op- ponents at Kalamazoo and this time they were successful. The season was ended by a spirited battle before the P. T. A., the decision going to the negative. Debating has yet to become one of the strong points of Bu- chanan High School. Debating develops poise, self-expres- sion, and self-confidence in the participantg and it is to be hoped that in the near future Buchanan High School will build up as good a reputation in debating as it now has in sports. y , APPRENTICESHIP CLUB The Apprenticeship Club was or- ganized this year under the direction of their coordinator. Since the ac- companying picture Was taken, the club has three new members, mak- ing a total of eleven. The apprentice members go to school four hours a day and work the remainder. Apprenticeship is not a glorified organization, but the re- ward comes from knowing the stud-- ent is doing his work efficiently. The following officers were elected: President Bernard Hemminger, Vice President William Snodgrass, Secre- tary Betty Ryan, Treasurer Mona- belle Dreitzler. I' ty

ficzfg c5a'zmi--- U ORCHESTRA An orchestra plays anything from waltzes to marches including all types of music. A few of the engagements for our orchestra this year are commence- ment, baccalaureate, the orchestra festival at Galien, and the music re- view at Buchanan High School. Mr. Robinson is its director. JUNIOR BAND For many years there has been a so-called junior band consisting of young people who de- sired instruction in order to be able to play in the regular band. Now this group is well balanced and fast approaching the size of the varsity band. Its membership totals fifty-seven, some of whom rehearse with the regular band in order to pre- pare themselves for the place in that organiza- tion that will some day be theirs. They have put into practice a system of military discipline by which there is a leader chosen from each section, according to his merit as a leader and as a musician, who is responsible for the actions and works of each member of his group.
