C. H. S. BAND The Chester High School Band, under the direction of Mrs. Frieda Duncan, has shown its loyalty to the athletic department by commendable performance at all ball games. A Musicale given jointly by the Band and Glee Club gave an opportunity to render more difficult numbers. Comments of remarkable improvement were encouraging. An oboe was recently presented to the band which adds greatly toward a balanced instrumentation. Instrumentation this year: Six clarinets One baritone Four cornets Three alto horns Four trumpets One bass drum One oboe One snare drum Four saxophones (1C Melody, 2 Ejj Alto, One Eh tuba One Bh tuba Five trombones One set of cymbals I Tenor) Trumpets John Heuer Lester Moeller Melba Lemmerman John Short Delbert Courier Helen Rainey William Hettesheimer Bobby Pinkstaff Clarinets Kathryn Allen Velma Hasemeyer Hilda Crunk Virginia Heckman Donald Wittenborn Thelma Smith Saxophones Dale Gillis Minnie Jeremiah Earl Adams Fae Best MEMBERS THIS YEAR: Eh Alto Horns Ardell Moeller Ruth Orrell Gloria Saak Baritone Jack Gilster Trombones Roger Katz Forrest Ayres Richard Hamilton Kenneth Smith Jimmie Harlan Sousaphones Earl Hasemeyer Arden Ruddell Bass Drum Kathryn Barger Snare Drum Helen Hoffman Cymbals Bobby Smith Oboe Irvin Kendell Drum Majors Harry Allison Bobby Matthews Directoress Mrs. Frieda Duncan 28 THE SUMMIT

P. E. CARNIVAL The Physical Education Classes gave their sixth annual program May I, 1937, in the new gymnasium, which was beautifully decorated carrying out the spirit of May Day. The first part of the program was presented by the boys, directed by Coach Goranson, which consisted of marching, various exercises on the stall bars, traveling rings, ladders, horizontal bars, parallel bars, flying rings and ropes. The tumblers and clowns added fun and merriment to the occasion. The second part of the program was the May Fete by the girls, directed by Marie Juergens. One of the highlights of the evening's entertainment was the crowning of the May Queen who had been selected by the flipping of a coin. This was necessary as Mary Louise Meredith and Esther Schreck had tied for the position. Margaret Jeremiah, the retiring queen, led the processional to the throne followed by the maids of honor, Mary Louise Meredith, Marilyn Light, Evelyn Cohen, and Margaret Fiene. Then, last, the new May Queen, Esther Schreck, took her place on the throne. This was followed by marching, apparatus exercises, tumbling, folk dances, tap dances in costume, and the Maypole Dance by the Senior girls. The recessional of the queen and her royal court was the climax of a very impressive program. 30 THE SUMMIT
