to surprise him. Whether it ' s a real sui-prise or not, we still enjoy doing it. May our director have many more birthdays I The High School Band is made up of the older and more experienced members. It presents most of the public performances. However, the Combined Band is standing very well on its own merits. The officers of the High School Band are — president, Phyllis Kraft; vice president, Karl- ann Striker; treasurer, Kathryn Ann Edwards. Officers of the Combined Band are — president. Bob Smith; vice president, Gerald Schultz; treasurer, Don Smith. As a committee of six the officers of both bands were the deciding group for the new uniforms. We are proud of theii ' choice. We wish to express our deep appreciation to the various organizations which made do- nations for the new uniforms. Among the activities of the two bands are playing summer concerts, playing for political rallies, participating in the Calathumpian Parade, Spring Concert at school. Navy Day pro- gram, and above all, playing for football and basketball games and our Sectional Tournament. I should also mention a group of sixteen band members chosen to form the well-known Drum Corps. It is, in a sense, a part of the band, and it does credit to the band. It partici- pates in playing for the tournament and the Spring Review.

HIGH SCHOOL BAND OFFICERS Karlann Striker. Phyllis Kraft. Kathryn Edwards D, H, S, BAND The High School Band, composed of sen- iors, juniors, sophomores, freshmen and a few eighth graders, is one organization in D. H. S. which is up and coming, now that we have brand new uniforms. Prior to their arrival, we did not make many appearances because we were not outfitted properly, but now the band members are all ready to participate in out-of-town parades and other events. The band had several dances. Once a year Mr. Sellemeyer gives the entire band, includ- ing those taking lessons, a dinner with everything fit for a king. Oh, yes, we also manage to remember November 3 as the birthday of a certain Albert Sellemeyer, and we also manage First Row: Mr. Sellemeyer. Anna Marie Steury, Kristine Striker.

Roger Gentis. Bet y . GLEE Music Hath Charms, especially when rendered by the Glee Club of 1946-47. The Glee Club under the direction of Miss Haubold consists of sixty-six well- blended voices. During the school year the Glee Club met three times each week — one meet- ing for the Girls ' Glee Club, once for the Boys ' Glee Club, and once for the com- bined group. The Boys ' Glee Club and Girls ' Glee Club decided to combine as one organ- ization in electing officers. The follow- ing were chosen: Tom Sharp, president; Betty McGill, vice president; Roger Gentis, secretary; and Kathleen Butler, treasurer. The enjoyable accomplishments of the Glee Club are credited to the untiring and talented efforts of our directress, Miss Haubold. In October the Glee Club gave a short program on Navy Day. Also in October the seniors again represented D. H. S. in the All-District Chorus held in Fort Wayne.
