' at TRIPLE TRIO The triple trio, consisting of three sopranos, three second sopranos, and three altos, was first organized at E.H.S. by Mr. Forest Brigham in the fall of 1937. From 1941-1944 the trio discontinued but for the past four years has been in continuous activity being in demand wherever musical harmony was desired. This year's girls have been working together for several seasons, their ability was confirmed when they currently received a superior rating in the music festival. JW STRING ENSEMBLE just before Christmas vacation the high school orchestra, organized in September, 1910 with sixteen mem- bers, made their first public appear- ance. They created quite a sensation among the students with their high class music and were received ,en- thusiastically. Furnishing background music at the presentations of the Gypsy Rover, and at other assemblies and programs the string ensemble, which has replac- ed the orchestra this year, showed its versatility by pleasing its audience without lowered standards. .1 B.

P Titus, M. Hall l CHORUS Let's turn back the dusty pages of our first Klahiams and take a look at the chorus girls -not to mention the boys. Observe them getting ready for the first n musical comedy to be presented at the Ellensburg Theater. The year is 1908 and the L show The Mikado -it proved to be a great success. Gypsy Rover climaxed this year for the E.H.S. chorus by giving the students and public their best in singings and dramatics. Musical comedies such as this require much preparation and hard work but each member of the cast benefits. CHORUS Top: R. Herr, S. Elmer, P. Shuey, S. Schille, B. Hickenbottom, J. Haberman, B.
