Hi ' ' Q we 2, OUR HIGH SCH OL music department offers a wonderful variety of all types of music-be it classical, standard or popular jazz. Singing is an activity and an art that we really enjoy. Now don't get the idea that Mrs. Moore doesnt make us work and that quite often she really lays us lowf' 1 Ever heard her at it? She really knows how, and it gets results, too. Q We love our music periods. We like the marvelous variety and selections of our concerts at Christmas and in our spring recital. We appreciate learning to sing in parts, and then there is that marvelous feeling of having done a job real well-our proof of this-the tremendous ovation given after a good perform- ance. We learn to love music and to express this love in our joy of singing. Our Chester High School Band is one of the outstanding marching outfits in the state. Lovely evidence of this is our large handsome silver trophy won this year. We work hard long hours to attain perfection in executing smart snappy precise patterns of marching movement and musical change. Very handsome new red and white uniforms add much to our appearance this year. Already we have been invited to march in the Charlotte Carousel, to perform between halves at the North Carolina, South Carolina Shrine Bowl Game, to play in the Charlotte Coliseum and to participate in the Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington. Each spring we give a full dress musical concert that is the highlight of a year's practice. We consider being a member of our ban an honor and a privilege. 1, f 4. . , J Mr. Tyler busy at Work with his junior band. Seniors with Brownlee at the piano enjoying a sing. jj.

CUR LIBRARIES ARE AN INVALUABLE AID IN ALL OUR STUDIES AMONG the most popular places in our schools are the libraries. Every period of the day one finds almost every seat taken. Students are busy checking references, searching the Readers Guide, delving into encyclopedias, and selecting books. Still others are looking in the stacks for back issues of bound magazines. Several are poring over the large un- abridged dictionaries, while other heads are buried in the latest newspapers, or browsing among the shelves in search of an interesting new novel or parallel reading. Our library is beautiful and pleasant place to work. Eye catching displays greet us as we enter. We have a wide variety of periodicals, newspapers, and many books, although our li- brarians, Mrs. Wylie and Mrs. Weir are always eager to add to the shelves. We students really appreciate having such an attractive comfortable place of our own to forget ourselves, so to speak, in the world of printed page and picture.

OUR FUTURE FARMERS REALLY HAVE GREEN THUMBS 'ul E ARE a part of that great vital group that provides food for the American dinner table. Our school provides a three year agriculture course for students interested in forestry, dairying, and farming. We have home projects of various kinds. These deal with every phase of forestry, dairying, farming, and conversation in Chester County. We make many field trips observing and learning. We work closely with the County Farm Demonstration Department and with our soil conservation agents. Our Future Farmers' Club and our 4-H Club carry on many activities and participate in cattle shows, the county fair, and state fair. Some of our members attend both the state and national conventions, and several have won honors and valuable prizes. Through all of our study and activities we are learning to be progressive scientific farmers and dairymen. Mr. Pratt congratulates Leon Clack, president of our FFA chapter, for winning a trip to the National FFA Convention in Kansas City, Mo., while Mr. J.
