E1,........... ..... 1.....E3 Qigh Srhnnl fbrrheatra While music organizations are always more or less popular in high schools, we feel that we have one phase of music in our school of which we are especially proud, namely the High School Orchestra. This group was organized a year ago last fall and has been in existence but two short years. However, it is very bright for its age. Due to the splendid training and interest of the Dysart junior Band, we have a goodly amount of material, thus having an advantage over most small towns. Some of our good players will graduate this year, for which we are sorry. but there are others who will take their places creditably. The Orchestra has ap- peared often this year at Pep meetings, basket ball games, the Operetta, High School programs, the Athletic Carnival, and Commencement. members Director - Miss Karsten Pianist-Lovilla Heckroth, '22 Violin Leland Bassett, '22 Louise Siemens, '24 Arthur Schreiber.

Miss Kathryn Karsten, music teacher, was responsible for the organization of the Girls' Glee Club and for the introduction of stage work to the club. Miss Karsten is to be congratulated upon the selection of the operettas and the excellent selection of talent which she made, also upon the preparation displayed upon the stage. The entire High School appreciates the fact that the operettas have bettered our social life and also increased the interest taken in school work, both by the students and the parents.

Pianist, Lovilla Ileckroth. The Story: The plot of the operetta is an allegory. The charming follies and the King of the Isle of Chance cause the wreck of the Good Ship Ease upon the rocks of the isle. The King tries to ensnare the captain and his friends with many games of chance. When they are almost beaten the Good Ship Hope comes in sight and rescues the wayfarers. They resolve that 'fHome again, never to roam again will be their motto thereafter. Ellyn minhmillz nf Bullard! --1922 Mynheer Ilertogenbosch, rich Ilolland farmer ....................,.............

The Story: Mynheer Hertogenbosch owns a mill which Bob Yankee from America wishes to have torn down and replaced with modern machinery. Bob falls in love with Wilhelmena Hertogenbosch but she remains true to her village lover, Hans, and thus proves a true daughter of Holland. just as Mynheer is in the act of signing Bob's contract, Vrouw Hertogenbosch, her daughters, and the mill hands declare a strike in case the mill is torn down. Bob gives up the propo- sition and all ends happily for the mill people. IVI, E. M. AND H. M. R. Forty-Seven
