- GIRLS' Locke, E. Macomber, E. Pyy, J. Kilgour, L. Mugford, J. Walker, V. Washburn, L. Butler, P. Perry, A. Kent MSI Since our Freshman year, all music at D.H.S. has been synonymous with Mrs. Wansker. She has capably and enthusiastically directed the Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs, the band and the Girls' Choir. The Duxbury High School Band was organized by Mr. Donald Leach in 1949. It grew rapidly and was soon playing its first march, Over the Top. In the past four years our band has played at many of the basketball games, for the P. T. A., for the Memorial Day Ceremonies, and for school assemb- lies. In 1951 the band marched and played in the Fourth of July parade. When Mrs. Wansker took Mr. Leach's place as band director she continued to teach the band to play new songs and to march while playing. The band uniform is green cordu- roy jackets, white pants, green ties, and white shirts. Boys' Glee Club tryouts in the gym on Thurs- day. When this notice appeared in 1949 girls giggled and wondered who the handful' of boys would be that would show up for Boys' Glee Club, an institution thus far unknown at D.H.S. The hand- ful was twenty-five, and since then Boys' Glee s Club has been one of the favorite student organi- zations. Until 1949, Glee Club meant to the girls one period a week when they could get together with the music instructor for a bit of singing. When at the first meeting Mrs. Wansker proposed several concerts and an annual minstrel show, Glee Club began to mean something alive, interesting and worthwhile. A third singing group is the Girls' Choir. This small group specializes in three part singing and special numbers. Since the first P. T. A. performance of the Qlee Clubs there have been Christmas programs, more P.T.A. meetings, and spring festivals of music. In 1952 the Glee Clubs and Choir presented a con- cert at Pembroke High School. Perhaps the most fun land workl has been the annual minstrel shows - Circus Days , Latin Holiday , and Shipboard Shennanigans . Best of luck in the future to Mrs. Wansker and to the music organizations which are such an im- portant part of our school.
