The band consisted of sixty pieces. C. H. S. was well represented at the VV. VV. Music Tournament at Aberdeen March 25 and 26. The Boys' Glee Club a-nd the Flute Solo both placed first and places were won in all group events but two. The Music Department gained more in popularity when it appeared in the Christmas Pageant at the Liberty Theatre December S and 9 and in the Hi- Jinks at the Fox Theatre. In the Lewis County Music Festi- val. the Bra-ss Sextette and the Girls' Glee Club entertained in the first session at Onalaska, the orchestra in the second session at Winlock, and the band in the third session at Adna. One of the most enjoyable fea- tures presented by this Department was a Spring Concert March 25.
