There was no hazing this year. The poor dears just wore name cards, bowed and said 'tHail, Mighty Sen- ior, and learned the school song. On Friday night, September 16, practically everyone at C.H.S. gath- ered at the Opera House to see the well-planned initiation. Everyone was a good sport and did his stunt well. Not only the freshmen were initiated but also all the new upperclassmen. The Grand March followed, led by Senior President Fred Hale and his freshman partner. As is customary, all seniors escorted a freshman on the March. Refreshments were served and dancing climaxed this eventful eve- ning. The freshmen were now a true part of C.H.S. HAYSEEDERS' BALL The second annual Hayseeders' Ball was held October 21st at the Opera House. Old clothes and dungarees were the costumes for the evening. Music was furnished by Moody Bro- thers' Orchestra, which played waltz- es, foxtrots, and square dances. Re- 7 7 freshments were sold and a good crowd attended the event. It is hoped that in the future the Hayseeders' Ball will be an annual affair and the classes will have as much fun and success as the class of '50 had in putting it on. THE BAND The band, which lost thirteen play-- ers through graduation last year, has many new and less experienced mem- bers. Those selected for membership are from the instrumental classes of the regular school program, and have had a successful try-out experience over a period of time with the school band. The Knox County Teachers' Asso- ciation extended an invitation to the concert band to play for their conven- tion at Rockland High School on No- vember 10, 1949. Many favorable comments were heard from the teach- ers at the conclusion of the program. At noon a group of bandsmen fur- nished music during the luncheon held in the gymnasium of Rockland High School. For the second successive year the C.H,S. Band has been pleased to have the opportunity to render its support to its basketball team in the play-off, to break the tie for first place in the league between Lincoln Academy and

The band members were happy over the Way in which their music was received by the crowd of basketball enthusiasts present to witness an exciting game. The concert band has presented programs for the American Legion County Convention in the Camden Opera Houseg the Rockport Seaside Wonderland' Carnival, and the Mu- sic For Springtimen program for the Camden Cancer Drive, in the Opera House. Special mention should be made of the latter, because of the at- tractive and colorful setting as planned and arranged by the commit- tee who invited the band to present their concert program. The bright spring flowers, backed by evergreens, which banked the pit and boxes in front of the stage, along with the crimson and gray uniforms and the glisten of the polished instruments of the band on the stage, presented a picture long to be remembered. Frequently, when only pit music is desired, a small ensemble group of in- strumentalists from the concert band is formed and plays for such occa- sions as the Senior and School Playsg Graduation and the annual senfior production to raise funds for the Washington Trip, which this year was t'ShoWboat . The personnel of these ensembles is not necessarily the same each time, but varies, and consequent- ly gives opportunity for more l'ess-eX-
