Cl-IOQLJS The Girls' High School Chorus now consists of forty-three members. Each year several of the singers are lost at grad- uation, but their places are filled by new Freshmen the following year. Chorus is a class in which one can enjoy herself as well as sing and appreciate good music. A few minutes of each rehearsal is devoted to exercises and scales which develop good breathing and tone quality. We are not always anxious for this portion of our training, but as we notice the 1m- provement in our voices, we realize its im- portance. The chorus, which once had the honor of Journeying to Atlantic City, will probably take no part in contests for the duration. However, there are many other activities in which it participates. For the past two years, Miss Elizabeth Swain has been the instructor of vocal music in the school. During this time, we have sung in assemblies, church services, and Chr stmas programs. This year we have sung music by Grieg, Handel, Strauss, and other well-known composers. The Girls Chorus is one of the out- standing organizations in school. Helen Castle 26

The Band and Orchestra of the Dundee Central School are under the direction of Joseph Greyback. Both of these are to help each individual become acquainted with music and to instruct him in good habits. Until 1942 the Band and Orchestra competed in music contests held at different schools each year. For the duration of the war neither the Band or Orchestra will be able to attend these contests. The Orchestra was organized in January of 1958. This organization has made appearances at the winter and spring music festivals, graduation, school plays and high school assemblies. The Band was organized in September of 1957. Many services have been rendered by the Band such as playing for the Dundee Fair, Boy Scouts, Memorial Services, winter sand spring music festivals, Circus, basketball games and high school assemblies. Our musical organizations have created among the students a better understanding and sincere appreciation of good music. Myra Yawger Cl-IESTFQA

This team lost only three games, which gave us second place in the league. The sportsmanship cup went to Odessa Central School and the League Cup went to Ovid. The team wishes to express 1t's appreciation to Mr. Smith, the Coach, who did so much toward making the team a SUCCESS. Besides the games that were played with other schools, there were numerous interclass and intramural games here in our own school. The girls have also taken an active part in the field of sports this year. They even took up football, and although their tactics amused the boys, they had fun. Miss Strauss is the girls Physical Education instructor this year. She takes a great interest ln sports and is well liked by everyone. Today, more than ever, a sports program is necessary, to prepare students for later life. Dundee Central has an excellent system, and we're proud of it. Elly Kent
