. kill Strings, Reeds, Brass Blend in Finest Music IN MR. STODDENS three years at Cen- tral, he has brought light to the music de- partment. Our Band and Orchestra have risen to their peak both in size and musi- cianship. Our orchestra has increased in size this last semester. Mr. Stodden hopes there will be a large number of Orchestra stu- dents entering from various grade schools. There are three big concerts given for the student body and parents in which the Or- chestra plays. They usually last as long as one hour or one and a half hours. Be- sides giving concerts in school, the Or- chestra plays for various organizations outside of school. A string quintet went to North Manchester to give a concert to the mothers of the Manchester College students. The Orchestra practices daily fourth hour. Central is proud of her Orchestra.

What is school spirit that characterizes our halls of fame? Real school spirit means serving the school, willingly, doing what you are not required to do. There lies the spirit of good citizenship in the pro- gram of club and activity work at our school. The club ofhcers and the active committeemen are those who in later life will serve their churches, families, communities to make life more happy for all. The initiates and officers of Friendship Club form a triangle during the formal initiation, representing body, health, and mind. Page I05

OUR BAND, under the leadership of Mr. Elbert Stodden, has gone far in the musical world. The purpose of the Band is to increase school spirit and to teach the best in music. The Band plays at all of our football and basketball games. This year they won first place in the division marching contest at New Haven. This semester there are only seven seniors in the Band. For the first time this year, the Band took a Concert tour trip, March I9, to Bronson, Sturgis, and Battle Creek, Michigan. The highlight of the trip was playing for the Veterans' Hospital at Battle Creek. At home, the Band played in three concerts, for both the student body and the public. A dance band formed by several band students has made ap- pearances at dances and the Speech Vaudeville and has made a good name. Being at school at 7:30 a.m. is nothing unusual for the members of the Band. Their practice begins While some people are still sleeping.
