Later the band assembled flower leftj and in full dress, marched out on the football field, where they played and marched. Leading the band in its many intricate formations was the colorful group of majorettes and the drum major, Ralph Cravens.

JANEY'S ONE-TRACK ' MIND The Dramatic Club production for 1940 was Janey's One- Track Mind . This sparkling new play, written by Dorothy Ben- nett and Link Hannah, was the story of Janey Brown, a sweet serious-minded young lady of eighteen, who came to live with her brother, George, and his lovely wife, Muriel. Convinced that she could not find a job in the city, Janey decided to marrv Martin Richardson, a wealthy advertising executive, and to attain this end, she enrolled in a glamour school, along with several other neighborhood girls. However, she met a local boy, Stuart Hunter, whose business was raising rabbits, and became fond of him, but was determined to put him out of her mind so that she could concentrate upon her pursuit of Mr. Richardson. Her glamour was so completely successful that it surpassed her wild- est dreams when Stuart and Mr. Richardson both fell in love with her. When Tommy Meyers, boy-friend of the Browns' maid. Alice, accidentally set Stuart's rabbit farm on fire, Janev realized that a rich husband wasn't the most important thing in the world, and she turned to Stuart, much to that young man's gratification.

In the strictest sense an A Cappella choir might be said to be a choir which presents songs in the style of the church. The songs are usually sung without accompaniment. Belonging to this choir was a great distinction for Mr. Medley and the other music students. Mr. Medley had to have at least one semester of Glee Club before he could try out for entrance in this choir. Although all music students participate in the music department's annual production, the burden of the work falls on the A Cappella Choir. The pictures are shots from an outside rehearsal of the choir fright belowj, a group picture of the choir Cabovej, and a classroom scene Qleft belowj.
