GLEE CLUB A better appreciation and a wider interest in music has been aroused in C. H. S. During the past year the boy’s and the girl's glee clubs, high school orchestra and the band were re-established. These organizations have played a large part in the activ- ities of the school in the past year. The girl’s glee club has made several appearances this year. The first activ- ity was the presentation of “Love Pirates of Hawaii.” This was a great success. During National Music Week both the boy’s and the girl’s clubs added their training and talent at the con- cert given by the high school students. Beside this, both have made many public appearances which have been unusually good. Their future looks bright. BAND In September of 1928 the high school band was reorganized under the di- rection of Mr. Rich with a member- ship of about twenty-five pieces. A short time later Mr. Rich left our faculty and accepted a position in Syracuse. To show his loyalty to C. H. S. he agreed to come to Canastota once each week and continue direct- ing the band. Also about this time Miss Gaudern started the beginners orchestra class. Although the band gave no public performance it has done much for training members for the High school orchestra. ORCHESTRA Under the steady drilling of our faithful music teacher, Miss Gaudern, tne high school orchestra finished a successful year. Success was marked

Under the coaching of “Pinky” Schmidt, who is the athletic coach, we had the most successful season in many years. There were two thrilling games of the season, one the Sherrill-Canastota and the other, the Oneida-Canastota game. The former was an 11 inning contest, finally won by hit by Gustaf- son which drove in Bertelero from second. The latter, although not a close game was very thrilling at least to the spectators who jumped up and down the sidelines ,and were over- joyed at the victory 7 to 4. Those who are returning for next year are Loren Coleman, Gerald Shaf- fer, Spadafora, Bertelero, Damico, Ay- ers, Clarke, Peretta. These along with the present Junior High ought to form into a snappy “outfit. With 8 regulars and Coach Schmidt the pros- pects are brighter than ever. The schedule: C. H. S. 8 - Oneida 2 C. H.
