The members also provided music for the special Christ- mas assembly, the Christmas programs of the East- hampton public schools, and the Senior Play. Fol- lowing these appearances, they participated in the Spring Concert. One of the highlights of the year was the Western Massachusetts Music Festival held in Pittsfield in May. The band marched in the Memorial Day Parade, and in June they presented the annual Lawn Concert, which was enjoyed by many townspeople. The year's final performances were on Class Night and at the junior and Senior High Graduations. On Class Night, when the em- phasis was on the graduating class, the band played an overture, Fantasia , written and arranged by one of its senior members, Alfred Girard. The addition of an alto and a bass clarinet would complete the woodwind section, in so far as many new instruments have been recently added. In Sep- tember a baritone saxophone will be included. With very few members graduating and new ones expected from the junior group, the band is looking forward to another successful year, made possible by the co- operation of band members and the fine leadership of the director, Mr. Howard C. Barre.

E. H. . GLEE CLUB Christmas Cantata At the Christmas concert, held on December 17, the Glee Club sang several numbers taken from In Bethlehem . They did exceptionally well portraying, by their singing, the birth of Christ, the Star of Bethlehem, and the shepherds present at the scene. For the annual spring concert in May the Glee Club sang a very lively piece, Italian Street Song , from the ever-popular Naughty Marietta . A solo by Gloria Poudrier was unusually well received by the audience. In addition to these, a spiritual hymn, Were You There? and the sadly reminiscent tune, Grandfather's Clock , were rendered with excellent harmonizing. 64
