She was much in demand as a vibraharp soloist, being one of the best in the field. Her untiring work with the choruses, sextette, and contest soloists showed how interested she was in the girls. She even had me running up and down the scales, when no one was around, of course! Mr. Shiplett, the band and boys' chorus director, was very friendly and cooperative with everyone. He is a talented vo- calist and plays the Cornet quite professionally. From the crack under the band room door, I watched him patiently oversee the practice of the contest ensembles, and they developed into all-state material under his guidance!

These music organ- izations certainly keep busy during the year. I had a time keeping out of their way when they practiced, but I usually hid in the filing cabinet. The Melodie-Ettes, composed of junior and sen- ior girls, and the Philomels, the freshman and sophomore girls' chorus, were under the direc- tion of Mrs. Heffner.

All of these singing groups took part in Carol singing activities and the formal concert at Christmas time, the County Music Festival in February, and in Baccalaureate and Com- mencement activities in May. Special singing groups, the girls' sextette and the boys' octette, took part in the District Music Contest and provided music for several school and community programs during the year.

The marching band was certainly adept at making formations, and the huge crowds at the games showed their appreciation, too, by the loud ap- plause! When we marched in Western's Homecoming parade, the band members looked so sharp and snappy that we really created a fine impression on all who saw us. t
