MARGARET VARNER, Term II. 0 COCHRAN'S BAND The accompanying picture was taken at a football game last November. The game was the last one of the season when we beat Johnstown Ir. Varsity from High School. The band consisted of twenty-five members, several of which were absent when the picture was taken. The band had many engagements for public appearances, and some could not be filled. Those appearing in the picture are: First Row-Franklin Reiter, Herbert Plotts, Campbell Rutledge- trombones. Second Row-Earl Zimmerman, Paul Gogel, Ivan Horton-clari- nets. Third Row-Robert Boyer, baritone, Louis Garrozoni, clarinet, Fred Pellow, cornet. Fourth Row-Stanley Stephens, Robert Custer-cornets. Fifth Row-Billy Evans, alto, Mary Walsh, Philip Krape-cornets. Sixth Row-Loren Small, Richard Zimmerman-cornetsg William Perry, bass. Last Row-Robert Murphy, drum. The band attended every football game on the home field but one. Our specialties are few. One of them is the jumping from soft, dreamy music into the crash of Cochran, . CAMPBELL RUTLEDGE, VII. -0.

COCHRAN AERIAL There was a lad who played the cornet, And he always chewed some gum, But the one who played the loudest Was the kid who beat the drum! Oh! he was so very active CPD, Though the others did their best, VVhen he banged it you could scarcely Hear the playing of the rest. 'Till at last he so upset them, It was more than they could stand, For this drummer's noisy drumming Drowned out Cochran's splendid ba1 d DAVID Homes, vm. Loi JOKE COMMITTEE The Joke Committee for this Annual was composed of the follow- ing pupils: Clifford Ream, Clinton Morgan, Louise Thiele, James Hughes, Margaret Stewart, a11d Frank Statler. These pupils collected the jokes scattered through the advertising section. i DRAMATICS IN COCHRAN The ability of the Cochran students to act was never so well dis- played as during this year. The organization of clubs helped to for- ward Dramatics. At this time the Junior and Senior Dramatics Clubs were formed. Since that time, the Civics and History and Enghsh classes have given numerous plays, likewise, even the Model Apart- ment girls have taken to Dramatics. On the following pages you will find a list of plays which were presented during the year. This does not include the Spring Commencement play, since the cast of charac- ters had not been selected when this Year Book went to press. School Bonds A group of Term V pupils under the direction of Miss Culler gave a one-act play for Assembly on October 21. The play was en- titled School Bonds, and was outlined by Garnet Edmiston, a pupil in the Social Science class, a11d contains three scenes. The act which was given by the class was a schoolroom scene in which Ruth Crissey acted as teacher. Dorothy Ressler, Hilda 'Teitlebaum, Garnet Edmis- ton, Ernest Rodgers, Julia Putorek, Josephine Flenner, Mary Ellen Bennett, Marie Barber, Anna Jones, Hulda Jones, Caddie Costlow, Helen Glessner, Viola Neff, Robert Royston, Fred Livingstone, Wil- liam Kreiger, Beula Swartz and Josephine May were the leading pupils in Miss Crissey's class. They took a lively part in discussions on the bond issue campaign, gave recitations, read original poems, and sang original songs. The whole performance was a credit both to the class and to Miss Culler. Persuading the Baker Family In Assembly, October the twenty-eighth, the Junior Dramatics Club, sponsored by Miss Keim, gave a play called Persuading the Baker Family.
