Eosfhompfon High School Bond The brass choir, a special treat for all listeners, was kept quite busy during the holidays. It played for all the public schools in Easthampton and for the Easthampton Congrega- tional Church broadcast. Also, the choir entertained at the Rotary Club Dinner. The combined band and choir played for the Christmas special assembly. In February, four representatives were sent to Springfield to audition for the All State Band held in Pitts- field. They were Thomas LaPlante, Deann LeBeau, Peter Wilde, and Gail Wolfram. Because of Tom's fine musical ability on the saxophone, he was chosen to represent the band. To excite enthusiasm and school spirit the band performed at all three games of the Small School Tourna- ment. During the month also, the band played for the scho0l's annual town meeting. May was an exceptionally busy month with the Spring Concert and the enjoyable YVestern Massachusetts Music Festival, held this year in WVestf'ield. Also on May 30, the loyal members were found marching for the Memorial Day Parade. With the hnc co-operation of the members of the band and the ex- cellent supervision of Mr. Dolloff, the band had a very successful year. The band made its first appearance this year under the direction of Mr. Kenneth Dolloff on Armistice Day, November ll. It also performed splendidly for the Senior play and thc Dramatic Club plays.

GLEE CLUB This year the Glee Club, under the direction of Mr. Kenneth Dolloff, presented two musical programs. The Club has been divided into two groups this year so that Mr. Dolloff may give each more individual attention. At the school's Christmas assembly in December, the choral group sang Shepherds Rejoice by Mansfield, Gesu Bambino by Pietro A. Yon, and 'AO Holy Night by Adoph Adam. At the school concert in May, the group per- formed One VVorld by O'Hara-Bratton, On- ward Ye People by Jean Sibelius, and Hello, Young Lovers by Rogers and Hammerstein. This group also assisted with the graduation program.
