SENIORS IN THE MUSIC DEPARTMENT Ninety seniors have been active in the various branches of the music department. This means that about one-fourth of the graduating class has been following up the exceptional opportunities which are being offered. This year 'a good many senior girls have entered classes in individual singing instruction under Miss Frances Hunter. Evan- ston Township High School has not experimented before with such singing classes. They are proving successful quite beyond expectations. The seniors in the band are Simon Wesley Eyer, Buell Kenyon, Archer Elliott, Raymond Smith, Theodore Lundgren, Wilbur Smith, and Hubert Visscher. The band is always in the Beardsley Gymnasium for the general assemblies. It does make an excellent showing, in spite of the loss of mighty Robert France at the drums band leader, and struts around the field during football games There is also the orchestra in which are the following seniors Mary Louise Hughes, Robert Lindberg, Lois Visscher, Raymond Smith, Wendell Tarkoff, Janet Wray, Wilma Conger, Nancy Johnson, Marie Schank, Wilbur Smith, Victoria Swihart, and Lucille Tyler. Marie Schank is a gifted violinist, and was one of five people chosen last year as representatives of our school to play in the National High School Orchestra. The seniors who are in the different choruses are Jean Cameron, Ellen Carroll, Jane Chesley, Margaret Dewart, Caroline Doyle, Anna Mae Ferguson, Lois Franz, Virginia Gerkins, Dorothy Hesketh, Kathryn Howard, Elizabeth Hunt, Winifred Jackson, Irene Jetton, Janet Lee, Linnea Lindquist, Kathryn Mahan, Patricia McCarthy, Frances Mel- lick, Margery Milam, Cornelia Pace, Catherine Ralph, Gertrude Singleton, Laura Smith, Margaret Strickler, Mary Thomas, Elizabeth Wallis, Elizabeth Webster, Charlotte . . l F' N Now a well-known senior, he has been promoted to the position of , z' .

In thse choruses the tired seniors relax somewhat Qonly somewhatj and spend forty-five minutes singing Qsupposedly on pitchj many very beautiful and difficult compositions. Some of these are from popular operas, others were written by modern composers particularly for the chorus book. Last December the choruses, in conjunction with the girls' gym classes, gave a Christmas pageant. It came quite up to the expectations of the Xb M- Q , J parents and friends who attended. 'W ' The choruses and the orchestra worked together to produce The J Mikado. It was presented two nights. Seniors prominent in the cast were Phyllis Braun, Albert McPherrin, William Hall, Robert .' France, Cornelia Pace, Hazel Ward Smith, George Bollenbacher, K ' Rose Ellen Brady, and Charlotte Werth. F - Under the teaching of Mr. Swihart and Miss Rafferty there are really unusual chances for a musical education such as few high schools can boast of. Ninety seniors of '31 are leaving our school the richer for having learned to appreciate music better and having been able to take part in musical programs during the past four years. Twentylfour
