'k Remember . . lt Pays to Shop al' PENNEY'S in THE BUSIFST BLOCK in THE BUSIEST CITY in THE BUSIEST SECTION of NORTHWEST OKLAHOMA Over 1,600 Stores in the U.S.A. 0 Penney's celebrate their 27th year in Enid this year . . . 1945 106-8 West Randolph, Enid, Okla. Dfzum and Eagle Gofzps By MAURENE MCNEILL The Drum and Bugle Corps was started in 1937 by Orville Books with the underlying theme of giving those girls especially inter- ested in music a chance to further their in- terests. Witlt the aid of his brother, Carl, and 1Vlom and Pop Books he soon had a Hrst-class group of girls. They had a short, successful journey to the top and luckily enough-they still hold that position. Carl and Orville left for the Army in 1941 and since then the girls have had several direc- tors. The girls are now being directed by Professor Nlilburn E. Carey, a very promin- ent musician. He has the girls in excellent shape, and the girls appreciate having such an outstanding director. He has had charge of them since August 1943. The Legionettes are sponsored by the American Legion Post of Enid. They furnish the girls with instruments and uniforms and see that they are in tip-top shape at all appearances. The Legion sends the girls on various tripsAthe one looked-forward-to-the most being the State Legion Convention. The girls played three memorial services this year in honor of Orville Books, who was killed in action in Erance on September 2, 1944. This was esoecially a great loss to the ,xxxxxxxuxilxxxxxxxxxxxnxsxxxxxx girls as they had always looked forward with eager anxiety to the day when Carl and Orville would be home permanently and could again have charge of the Corps. The Drum Corps has within itself a well- built discipline order. This consists of Presi- dent, Betty Lou Clark, Vice-President, Nlarv Ellen lvlathers, Secretary and Treasurer, 1V1aurene 1VlcNeill, Reporter, Sammve Dodds, Librarian, Glenda Cameron, Druni Captain. Nlartha Dillon, Drum Lieutenants, lcefeene Hall and 1V1ary Lou Olsen, Bugle Captain, 1V1argaret Ery, Bugle Lieutenants, Freddie 1V1organ and Phyllis Mtttlgett, Bass Drum Captain, Arlene Smith, and Flag Captain, hflerlene Willianls. Doing a very excellent job of Drum Nlajoring this year was Earlene Wc'eks who will turn over the position to Ma1'y Ellen Ivlathers. The Corps consists of high school girls, but each year after Tri-State Freshmen mem- bers are taken in to fill up the gaps left by the graduating Seniors. Each year the Corps loses some Senior girls. This year only five of the girls are leaving them. Those graduating from the Corps are Betty Lou Clark, Glenda Cameron, Margaret Ery, Matlrene McNeill, and Earlene Wt'eks. sxsxxxxsxxxxxxxxxxuxxxxxuxunw I I I I I I I I I I : To All Students, E I I I I I I Q CONGRATULATIONS!

Lowenhaupfs Phone 203 North Side Enid, Oklahoma TIIE Quui. lvl.-XGAZINE Hgtlmphontl, gong and gwin H Crowds of smiling people streamed into the well-lighted auditorium, tastefully deco- rated with patriotic note-stripes of red and white with a generous sprinkling of blue stars at the edge of the stage. It was a gala night in the history of Enid High. It was Symph- ony, Song, and Swing . ln the background the sweet turmoil of tuning instruments rose, now the muted vio- lins, then the brass trumpets, the Woodwinds. Through it all the light smiling banter of the musicians and pleasant low murmur of voices. Witli the opening strains of the Star Spangled Banner the crowd rose reverently and respectfully. Then settled back expect- antly for a good two hours of priceless enter- tainment. The orchestra presented the first part of the program, the band contributed the latter half-both under the direction of Enid High's own G. R. Bonham. The orchestra's first number was the Coronation lviarclr' from The Prophet by G. lVieyerbeer, the arrangement so often used at commencement exercises. This was followed by the semi-classical lVlanhat:an Serenade by Louis Alter. Then came the memorable melody, Begin the Beguinc-, by Cole Porter, sung beauti- fully by Virginia Norris. A recorded favorite by Iohnny Met'cer held fourth position, Accent-tchu-ate the Posi- tive . New singing talent in the form of Betty Strickler blossomed forth to send Old Mr. In-Between down the high road. From the Warner Brothers' picture, Hol- lywood Canteen was Don't Fence Me In, the vocal honors going to Max Cumpston, who presented a picture of the old west in a red shirt, studded belt, and cowboy boots. He was joined by a harmonizin' quartette with Sammye Dodds, Effie Hronopulos, Bar- bara Iones, Dolores Cohlntia, in a unique treatment of a popular favorite, which brought the orchestra's program to a colorful close. Between the acts, Arlene Smith with her accordion and Evelyn Robinson at the bass viol entertained with Roll Out the Barreln. As an encore, they played St, Louis Bluesn. L. A. Chenoweth, pinch-hitting for Rus- sell A. Green, secretary of the Mttsic War Council of America in the state of Okla- homa, brought a surprise when he presented to the Enid High Band, truly deserving, an award for an outstanding record. Individual citations for each member were received by the Band President, Bill Stramp. The first number by the band had an appropriate title since that is exactly what happened, George Gershwin's Strike Up the Band . This year Enid High was honored in hav- ing Bob Makovsky as guest conductor. Mt. Makovsky has been associated with Okla- homa A and M College for thirty years and is conductor emeritus of the A and M Sym- phonic Band. Recently, he has toured the state, stopping at universities, colleges, high schools, and grade schools. He directed two numbers, both of his own composition: One Beautiful Day Overture, whose music describes perfectly a cloudless sky on a morn- ing filled with spring sunshine, and March OAMC, the Niarch of Oklahoma A and M. Next Patty Bonham at the piano added to the touch of spring with the lively Grass- hopper's Danceng she was assisted by the band. The band gave a treat for any teen-ager, At the Gremlin Ball , The gremlin you know, is a mischievous little dwarf who heckles aviators. As the gremlin convention gets under way, on the wing of a transport plane, the Gremlin band opens up with the playing of this tune. It certainly would inspire any jitterbug to cut his neatest rug. Ioe Woelke made this a selection never-to-be- forgotten with his trumpet solo. The applause seemed never to cease, so Mr. Bonham gave in to the audience, and the band played the last few bars again. Next was offered The Kid Grows Up, a characterization of the life of an Enid High boy from the cradle to what is con- sidered by pessimists to be the end of his life, his wedding. Following this was a drum and trombone novelty, Hank and Lank. with Ben Pear- son as Hank and Harold Henson as Lank. Hoagy Carmichael's immortal favorite Star Dust is a ITIUSE on every Symphony, Song, and Swing program. To more than a few people, this song represents people and places they have known and loved. It was given superb treatment by Don Schaf- roth on the trombone and Bill Tom Sheets with the saxophone. Star Dust has a popu- larity that is undying. From the musical Oklahoma, Rodgers and Hammerstein's Broadway success came the song Oklahoma . This is fast growing in popularity, especially in its namesake state. Bill Tom Sheets, a Senior at Longfellow, made his appearance, directing My Bonnie . Bill Tom was Vice-President of both the band and orchestra and Student Conductor of the band, this year, with an outstanding record for all three years in Enid High. Iohn Phillip Sousa, the March King, was honored in the next number, King Cotton March,,' directed by the other Student Con- ductor, Vern Iones, a Senior at Emerson. The grand Finale, Stars and Stripes For- ever, was played as the drum majors with the American and state flags, and the band queen, Patty Iayne, marched up the aisle. The curtains closed. The audience rose to leave. Although this matchless program was completed, with the people went the memory of a two hours well spent. The members of the band and orchestra breathed a sigh of relief, along with Mr. Bonham, for this had meant hours of tireless rehearsal. Yes, Symphony, Song, and Swing was over for another year.
