The group was not very large at the beginning, but it continued to grow until it reached its present size of sixty-five members. Working diligently under the former directors and under the direction of Mr. Anderson. the chorus won first place in the District Music contest every year since its formation. We all hope this record will be continued. Just before Christmas, the chorus could be heard singing its heart out in the preparation of the annual Christmas concert. This was repeated again in the spring before the presentation of the annual spring concert. In the past two years, the formal dress of the chorus members added a beautiful array of color. Being one of the most popular extra-curricular activities in school. it attracted many girls and boys. The chorus, however. lacked tenors and hopes to gain more boys in the years to come. I'm sure the graduates will miss the other members. the fun, the excitement before a concert or contest and the satisfaction of a job well done. But most of all, they will miss their pleasant and patient director, Mr. Ander- son.

The people watching their high school band marching down the street at the head of a parade probably think of the fun the boys and girls must be having and the thrill of leadership they must be feeling. They don't stop to think that the display took a lot of work on the part of the instrument carriers and their director. Besides leading parades. they work constantly to prepare for an annual Christmas concert and an annual spring concert which are presented jointly with the chorus, The band is always present at home football and basketball games. It also takes part in the District Music contest. This year's band membership was quite small because of the loss of fifteen seniors the year before. This loss was. in part. made up for by grade school band members. There always seems to be a shortage of players, and we urge others to join. Practice is necessary. of course. but nothing is achieved without practice or work. Mr. Anderson, the director, patiently works with each member whenever possible and strives diligently to develop a good sounding organization. He will be greatly missed by all the graduates with whom he worked.

Stein, Mrs. Hanke lAdvisorD, In 1951, the second year Latin class presented a Constitution for the formation of a club composed of all current Latin students and alumni. With the enthusiasm and guidance of our Magistra, Mrs. Hanke, Laeti Latini was born-the purposes being to make Latin more interesting and popular, and advertise Latin, and to increase our knowledge of the ancient culture upon which our nation has been founded. The charter members of the club were given JCL pins, and the club became a member of the Junior Classical League. Bud Schlick, our first Imperator, and his officers set up the practice of initiating the first year students and of serving an annual banquet in true Roman style, Laeti Latini has been very active in the past three yearsg they have sponsored a full-length movie each year, dances, candy sales, and of course, the sale of those red and blue beanies, Laeti Latini has always had a large and enthusiastic membership, with any of the members ready to do his share when called upon. The club meets once a month, with every other meeting offering a social hour in addition to a program. The current officers are: Imperator, Jack Thomas, Lictor, Judy Goldsworthyg Scriba, Dyann Griffin, and Quac- stor, Therese Stein. The annual banquet is always the high spot of each year. A chairman, chosen annually by the Imperator and the Magistra, supervises and plans the Cena Romana. The members dress in authentic Roman costumes while the first year students act as slaves, and serve the banquet. Laeti Latini is educational, beneficial and fun. I know that the Senior membors will s1iy Valete, Amici, with sadness.
