THE CHOIR Like the Songs of Skylarks The choir, composed of fifty-three students, elected as their officers the following: president, Bill Bond; vice- president, Kathy Schultz; secretary, Connie Baxter; treasurer, Steve Edwards. Throughout the year the choir has made numerous appearances under the very capable direction of Miss Helen Haubold. The first appearance was in November when the choir sang for Spiritual Emphasis Week. Later the same month the Choir sang for High School Open House. A Christmas concert was given for a combined Ro¬ tary and Lions Clubs meeting. Solos were featured, in¬ cluding a song by our accompanist, Eleanor Miller. In March the choir participated in the annual Music Festival, held this year at Berne. It was a wonderful experience. In April the choir sang a group of numbers at the Art Festival. The last appearance by this choir were for Bac¬ calaureate and Commencement, with the Senior mem¬ bers, singing together for the last time, “D.H.S.” Right: At the Music Festival President, Bill Bond; vice-president, Kathy Shultz; secretary, Connie Baxter; treasurer, Steve Edwards.

BAND—A Hard Working, Good Musical Organization In the fall of the year the band, as well as everything else at D.H.S. comes back to life after the summer’s vacation, and this year was no exception. It started with a bang as the band provided the pre-game and between-half mu¬ sical entertainment at football games, plus marching maneuvers. Following shortly were the various other an¬ nual performances; namely, the band trip to the Bluffton Street Fair, the basketball games, dur¬ ing which it provided frequent special num¬ bers, the Calithumpian Parade, and the Christ¬ mas program. In March the band traveled to Berne for the third consecutive combined concert with Berne and Bluffton. This involved one hard night of combined practice, but the experience was well worth it. On April 24, the Band joined with the Choir and Art Department in presenting the Fine Arts Festival. This was the last activity of this school year. It is sincerely hoped that all the members, except the seniors, will be back next fall with even more spirit and enthusiasm. 24
