Ronald Andreas Clarinet Hazel Gunther Harp laVerne lugor .................. . Clarinet Ray l cly French Horn Music Appreciation Girls Glee Club Here we hove a small ensemble of band members tuning up in one of their after-school rehearsals. These extra-curricular section practices are popular with the students of the music department, and they always get remarkable results from their rehearsals. This is a typical jam-session of classical music featuring the melodies of Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven. Hazel Gunther, the harpist, is playing chords and arpeggios on her instrument to the accompaniment of Ronald Andreas and LaVern Lugar on the clarinets. Raymond Isley carries the melody on the French horn. Mr. Miles is the originator of these little concerts. The Girls' Glee Club js sometimes known as the stepping stone to choir. Whenever new members for choir are needed, the Girls' Glee Club is always ready to help. Sometimes they double with the choir to sing in special concerts. By doing this, the magnitude and vocal quality of the singing is augmented greatly. The concertized version of the opera Faust was just one example of teamwork between the choir and the Glee Club. They also contributed to the spring production of Trial By Jury by dedicating their talents and efforts to make the operetta a success. Row 1—Harter. J; Dalton, P; Blum.

Girls’ Sextette Central Singers The second largest singing club at Central High School is the Girls' Sextette, an organization that is still in its infancy. The singers in the group are Hazel Gunther, Janice Lindberg, Margaret Sondahl, Helen Baker, Marie Fitzwafer, and Lorraine Hall. If was formed early last September by Helen Baker, who directed the rehearsals, and selected the program numbers. The Girls Sextette made its debut on the homecoming program when they sang Dry Bones. They made other appearances at a P.T.S.A. meeting, and on the Christmas program. The Central Singers, only three years old, is one of the most popular musical ensembles at Central. Under the able direction of Bob Spong, senior, this group works together in close harmony to give up many rich moments of musical enjoyment. At Christmas time they sang a series of carols over W.T.C.N. and later in the season they participated in a demonstration for the senior seminar at the University of Minnesota. The Central Singers are a fine example of good singing as well as training, and they leave a favorable impression wherever they go.

Janet Johnson Kathleen Finne Solly Miller Charles Whiting Elsie Molerich Jim Crowford Mr. John E. Mulligan The Central High News provides students interested in journalism with an opportunity to develop their talents while filling a position on its staff. Under the guidance of Mr. John E. Mulligan the students put out an issue every other Wednesday during the course of the school year. On its pages we find stories about what is happening at Central and read of the latest heroics of our favorite athletic heroes. If also gives Central students the opportunity to read the latest gossip about their fellow classmates and add a joke or two to their re- pertoire from the Wise and Otherwise column. In honor of Mr. Mulligan's thirty years as adviser to the News, the 1951-52 News Staff presented him with a coke with thirty candles and an engraved cigarette lighter at the News assembly in September. The News is one of the outstanding high school publications in the Twin Cities. Year after year it has won the International award and received the highest ratings possible in the annual Quill and Scroll judging. It also receives with similar regularity the All-American Award from the Notional Scholastic Press Association. Sitting—Fulkerson, J; Larson, J; Crawford, J; Whiting.
