MUSIC The Music Program in the Deer Isle ju- nior and Senior High School has changed a great deal from that of the previous year. Miss Alice M. Plevock again joined us as Directoig Those taking music were divided into four groups, Junior and Senior High School Choruses, Girl's Glee Club and Boy's Glee Club. The junior and Senior High Chorus each met twice a week with an ex- tra day set aside for a combined choral sing. The Boys and Girls Glee Club each met once a week. The Junior and Senior High Chorus combined made a total of sixty seven mem- bers, of which fourteen were first sopranos, fourteen were second sopranos, fifteen were altos, nine were tenors, and fourteen were basses. The Girls' Glee Club consisted of forty three members and the Boys' Glee Club of twenty members. The first public performance was a Min- strel Show under the direction of Miss Plevock on January 14. This was presented by both choruses and glee clubs combined. The second performance was that of a selected choral group consisting of Regina Billings, Virginia Billings, Barbara Eaton. Joan Haskell, Barbara and June Perez, Bea- trice Pickering, Priscilla Powers, Eliza Small, Mary Smith, Janet Snowden, Patty Spofford, Wiley Billings, James Brewster, Charlie Dodge, Norwood Greenlaw, Randall Haskell, Jerauld Hutchinson and Burton Weed.

20 THE GATHERER Music being the theme of the graduation exercises, the Choruses and Glee Clubs are planning a varied program, illustrating the different types of music sung in America to- day. Aside from the Choral program there are two groups of theory classes for the benefit of the Seventh and Eighth grades. In the Group A Theory the students not only learn elementary theory but also have History of Music and Appreciation. Group B Theory is a more advanced class. Here the students study Fundamentals of Har- mony, Music Analysis, plus History and Music Appreciation. The Orchestra Ensemble under the su- pervision of Miss Plevock is progressing quite rapidly. Four periods a week are available for instruction, as well as after school time. Those receiving lessons are as follows: Jerauld Hutchinson, Janet Eaton and Bur- ton Weed, Saxaphoneg Barbara Eaton, vio- lin, Mary Hardy, Clarinet, and Murray Barbour, Cornet.
