It, in itself, needs no iustification, for all know the great part it plays in our daily lives. Never more than today, in a world of turmoil, has this method of self-expression been given greater recogni- tion. Unlike many other activities, the student can continue receiving entertain- ment and relaxation through music. The opportunity to perform and study the works of great composers is given to the orchestra. Many of the Senior Class will long remember the experiences they have en- joyed through this medium. The Orchestra of T941-42 has continued the fine reputation which was built up last year. The organization has appeared in assembly, plays, and throughout the Com- mencement Program. This year found several additions in personnel both from the ranks of Fresh- men and upper classmen. twenty-eight

MUSIC- The Music Department is one of the dual-purpose activities, furnishing not only entertainment, but also something of real value to the student. Two very necessary and worthwhile divisions of this department are the band and orches- tra. Besides furnishing music between acts for school plays and between halves at basketball games, they also play an important part in the Baccalaureate and Commencement exercises. The Girls and Boys Choruses provide a fellowship unit to students interested in music. They also play an important part in the Bac- calaureate and Commencement exercises. DRAMATICS- All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances, and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages , said the immortal Shakespeare. How our school life as one of these stages abounds in dramatic! Looking back over four years we find debate, argument, conversation, pantomine, theatrical tryouts, movies, mi- crophone experiences and commencement itself. The list is endless. We close a delightful stage of our lives. PUBLICATIONS- Our yearbook represents the progress, the achievements and the memories of a happy four years at Clarion-Limestone High School. ln retrospect the year- book will loom as a beloved picture seen in several scenes unrolled and shown to the spectator. Yet our pleasant associations cannot be listed even in this Pan- oramic movie. I llc . is-.LN ' i' . I Xiv' ,Q . K Il I .L ff: ' f -fl if .f f ZW nf ra' - le twenty-seven ,. Ig

At football and basketball games, pep rallies, and in many other ways, this organization leads the way to enthusiasm for the home team. With the appearance of the band at any of the various games held here, there was a noticeable rise in the spirit and general aspect of the students, both from the spectator's viewpoint, and the participants. The Clarion-Limestone Band, composed of approximately twenty members, has made considerable progress in the past year. The proceeds of the annual Chicken Supper were used for the purchase of five new instruments: three clarinets, an alto horn, and a trombone. The Parent- Teachers Association donated money for one instrument, and a baritone horn was purchased. The band made several public appearances throughout the year, having presented a concert at the Clarion Court House for a Supervisor's and Auditor's meeting. The band also furnished the music for several basketball games. The proiect for next year will be the purchase of uniforms and there is a probability of further expanding the instrumentation. twenty-nine
