Having presented five free concerts, which were well attended, it made no less than twenty other public appearances. At three of the con¬ certs, we had the pleasure of hear¬ ing the band conducted by three guest conductors; Richard Maddei. of Lowell, Adam Lesinski of Whit¬ ing, and R. V. Roessler from Horace Mann of Gary. Our band has increased in size ; by 64 ' during this last year and j has added a new Baritone Saxa- | phone to its already long list of fine I instruments. This addition was made possible through the Band Mothers’ organization which has been very helpful in co-operating with our new and very competent director, Mr. E. R. Ready. Three hundred people attended the opening of the new Band Port¬ able, which is one of the finest in Indiana, on the 15th of April. There was special music by the Na¬ tional Contest winners from Hobart and Whiting and the Clarinet Quar¬ tet from Lowell. The Band and twelve soloists en¬ tered the District Contest at La- Porte in April where the band and most of the soloists placed in sec¬ ond division. They aje contem¬ plating entering the Chicagoland Music Festival in August. The dir¬ ector, Mr. Ready, and several band members are planning to attend the Van der Cook School of Music Camp at Bridgeton, Michigan, this summer.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY (Continued from Page Nine) Freddie Krull, always the romantic Romeo, had a role in this master¬ piece; and .many other sophomores were in the chorus. “Junior Class 1934-35 Ray Bjorklund, president Audrey Smith, vice-president Fred Krull, secretary-treasurer’’ As in the previous year, Mr. Lutz, Mrs. Allman, and Miss Krueger were i the class sponsors. Mr. Jones dir¬ ected another King and Queen, election at the Carnival that year, Lorraine Margison anG Bill Brown were the candidates from our class, and Bill was made king of the cele ¬ bration. Carolyn Johnson as Signora Tin-1 tinetto, Freddie Krun as Guido, “mah hero,” and Jim Louis as Sig¬ nor Amoto Reni, were in the cast; and many other juniors were in the chorus of the operetta, “The Sing¬ er of Naples,” according to the program which came next. There were four football tickets on this page, too. Say! That was a con- incidence; four juniors earned let¬ ters in football that year. “Admit One ‘Caravan’ February 20, 1935 Sponsored by Junior Class, C. P. H. S.” were the words printed on another j ticket, but they didn’t tell half the story. Our profits on that picture j shattered all previous records and, | meant the difference between a j {junior-senior potluck and a iunior- j senior banquet. Remember the I “Wine Song” from “Caravan” and how it haunted our school for days? I We were so encouraged by our suc¬ cess that we ventured another dance early in May; and again we broke precedent, making a profit of ten dollars, or something like thah I’ll never forget how we worked to make that dance a success! The orchestra was made up almost en- ' irely of seniors who donated their services. The last souvenir of our junior year was the dance program from that nautical affair, the banquet and prom. The seniors had been a. litle worried about the kind of re ¬ ception they’d get. They thought, the situation looked somewhat “fishy” ’cause we had only a little j over one hundred dollars in the I hold; but when they saw the elab¬ orate banquet tables and heard tho music of the orchestra, all their worries were cast aside. “Senior Activities, 1935-36” was the last title, and the story behind those words embraced three labor¬ ious years. In a class meeting just as disorderly as the first one of our freshman year, we cnose Jim Louis to pilot us through our last year of high school. Marian Anderson was elected vice-president, Fred Krull was put in charge of the records, and Bernard Wallace was made chancellor of our meager treasury. Mr. Lutz and Miss Krueger were the class sponsors. Eight seniors held important places on the football squad, and ! several made the varsity in basket - ball. One senior. Bill Brown, was I captain of both the football and basketball squads and one of the school’s outstanding athletes. Ath- | Istios wasn’t the only activity in ; which members of our class were outstanding. Ray Bjorklund and Jack Heide made an enviable record j on the debate squad, and several of the band’s best musicians wen seniors. The Hallowe’en Carnival was (Continued on Page Thirty-Seven;
