It is very active in promoting school spirit at games and in giving us a broader knowledge of good music. Under the capable direction of Mr. Miles, the band has achieved recognition for performing such music as the “Finale from the New World Symphony by-Dvorak and the “Rienzi Overture by Wagner. Each year the members elect a concert master, who is chosen on the basis of leadership and musical ability. This year the honor went to Wayne Timmerman, an exceptional trumpet player. At one of its first appearances, the band marched in a colorful football preview at the Parade Stadium. Later they played for other games and for pep assemblies in the school auditorium. An annual concert was held on February 17, at which time they played several outstanding selections; two dancers and a harp solo were also featured. They went on tour, stopping to play for out-of-town schools which received,them with great enthusiasm and appreciation. We at Central are very proud of our band and know that it is essential to the success of our musical medley.

CHOIR Brion Bart, Bruce Bart, Bouillon. Braun, Buhrman, Champ. Clou tier.

If you should climb the stairs and near room 404, the notes would become louder because the choir is always hard at work perfecting the many difficult numbers they sing. Under the direction of Mr. Schommer. a new teacher this year, they have achieved high standards in performing a variety of selections which include “AH Breathing Life” by Bach. The choir sang several selections for the Christmas Program, an annual event at Central. Everyone agreed that their contribution to this assembly added the final touch to the beautiful program. They also held a Spring Concert which was attended by many and enjoyed by everyone. In April they sang at an Easter Concert, which effectively portrayed the sacred spirit of the occasion. The choir also sang for other schools in Minneapolis and made a recording which was sold as an album. All of Central’s students and faculty realize the great contribution the choir has made to the creation of a musical theme during the past year.

PROJECTION CREW The job of setting up and running the 16mm. motion picture camera and sound projector is done by the projection crew. Visual aids are becoming more important in education because the students receive a broader knowledge of the subject and remember what they see longer. This proves the old saying, ‘‘One picture is worth a thousand words.” This group, under the direction of Mr. Hovey, shows both educational and entertaining movies to the students. Row 1: Snyder, 8. Johnson, Moore, Smith, Tepper, Mr. Hovey. Row 2: Fulkerson, Gjevre, Priess, Parker, Peterson, R. Johnson. Row 3: Rudberg, Timmerman, Vander Ziel, Ryan, Quam. ORCHESTRA A new organization this year, the orchestra, has proven itself capable of playing such selections as “Minuet and Trio” by Hayden and “The Great Gate of Kiev” by Moussorgsky. I’nder the direction of Mr. Miles, it practices every sixth hour in room 400. It is composed of sixteen members, and has an excellent violin section. The orchestra also includes two cellos, three violas, a bass violin, and is accompanied by Lyn Olson on the piano. We at Central are very proud of the progress this group has made and are confident that it will continue to deserve the praise it has been given. Row 1: Peterson G., Krou» .
