High School Band MUSIC CHORAL MUSIC The mixed chorus and glee clubs carried forward in both senior and junior high school with increased appreciation of this fine art. The boys and girls glee clubs were organized in the fall. The mixed chorus was organized at the beginning of the second semester. Under the capable direction of Miss Martha Buck, we were able to put on programs for various occa- sions. The boys and girls glee clubs combined and separate have given several programs throughout the year. At Christmas the glee clubs and mixed chorus together with the upper and intermediate grade choruses presented a program of Christmas music. Instead of the usual reading of the scrip- ture, a group of girls presented a choral reading of the Christmas Story.

During the football and basketball season. the band has greatly added to the enjoyment of the sport fans by its snappy appearance and peppy music.

The seniors leaving this year are Ivan Benderwald, Lois Coleman, Eunice DuRand, Ilene Fuller, Doris Gee, Kenneth Isaak, and Inga Martin. There are 59 members in the combined bands.

Johnson played trombone in the band and the high school orchestra. A very talented player, he took music seriously and would have been a success in the musical world. It is with regret that we have to continue our activities with- out him. As in the past several years the efforts of the band culminated in the annual band festival which was this year held at LaMoure. Mr. J. A. Holvik had again been invited as guest conductor. The follow- ing program was presented : Presentation of Colors LaMoure Scouts America Panella March of the Champions Huffer American Youth Overture Pettee Chapel Shrine — Reverie Leoni March of Youth Olivadoti Cheerio — March Goldman Intermission Officer of the Day Hall Do nkey Serenade Friml Trombones on Parade Taylor Skaters ' Waltz Chenette United We Stand Hayes Retirement of Colors Boy Scouts All band members regret that Mr. Ackert will not continue to direct the E. H. S. band next year. He does not plan to return as a teacher because he expects to be drafted or he will enter some type of defense work.
