The girls' band included -Iessie Brunger, Vfalma Martinmaki. Claudia Melberger, and Helen NX'clls. Seniors in the various glee clubs were Ifsther Bassoe. Dorothy Becker, Benjamin Gage, Donald Gardiner, Lowell Goodhue, jane Hueber, Mary McDonnell, Joseph Paddock, Vfilliam Prizer, and Albert Yarbrough. The school's annual operetta this vear was Gilbert-Sullivanls beloved l'inafore. Seniors who had leading roles in one of the two performances were: john Coolidge, Norma Ifrwin, Benjamin Gage, Lowell Goodhue, Helen McCrearv, George Miller, Charlotte Mitchener, joseph Paddock, Vfilliam Priler, Donald Stevens, lillen Voigts, Virginia Vi'ells, and Aubrey Vfhittemore. A picked orchestra selected from the regular orchestra members worked with the chorus to produce this favorite operetta. A Music Club was organized this year bv the music department. Charter member- ships were extended to those receiving credit for outside music study. I-n the club were the following twelve seniors: Clarence Aberg, Norma lirwin, Bettie Harvey, Luther I.iden, Iflsie Lindemann, Charlotte Mitchener, Margaret Pearson, Gardner Read, john Sass, Phvllis Strong, Lorene Swihart, and Iflilabeth w'illl.1I'HS. An accompanying class was also begun this year Linder the direction of Mrs. Shearer. Bettie Harvev, Helen Pratt, and Gardner Read took advantage of this opportunity tc be coached in the art of accompanying. The theory a-nd appreciation classes under Miss Rafferty were well represented by seniors. In the original composition concert in the spring, Gardner Read and Virginia NVells presented their own works, the one a group of orchestral pieces, and the other an operetta. Thus one hundred and two seniors have learned to know and appreciate music for what it is worthg to know its relaxation after a tedious struggle with theorems and French idioms, and to appreciate its influence in their everyday life.

Seniors in the Music Department As evidence of what music can mean to the average high school senior, we point with something of pride to the fact that one hundred and two seniors of this year's graduating class have in one way or another participated in the various musical activ- ities at E.T.H.S., and have thereby profited considerably through their experience with and appreciation of music.

Pentangle Club W'hatever the Pentangle Club has accomplished this year, 1931 and 1932, has been done with the sincere purpose to be of service, to the school as a whole, and to the community. The ofhcers were jean Sanders, president, Marion Legg, vice-president, jane Updike, treasurer, Amy Plochman, secretary. The Activities Committee, headed by Mary jane Thompson and Nancy Merrick, planned the November Pentangle Dance. This committee also sponsored .1 lecture by Miss Grace Humphrey at the january meeting, and a party, given in March, for the mid-year freshmen girls. A one-act play, An Alphabetical Romance , an original Christmas pageant by Alice Ann Kessler and Mary Lou Clausen, The Gift of Father Time , another play, Murder, Murder, Murdern by Babette Hughes, and a Fashion Show supervised by both the Activities and Entertainment Committees, provided the programs at the meetings. The Publicity Committee, headed by Jane Rogers and jane NX'ickersham, advertised the Pentangle Dance, and managed the sale of Pentangle Christmas cards. The Projects Committee with Edna Haas as chairman and Evelyn Iiolger as co- chairman, undertook the guiding of new students around the building during registra- tion week. Hostess work was accomplished by two girls, serving for one week, one period a day. They presided in the lobby to welcome visitors and to lend aid to the office. Tea has been served to the faculty in the lobby twice a week by this committee. The Social Service Committee was headed by jane Iredale and Betty Andrews. Aid was offered to the Cradel, Thrift House, and United Charities, and some of the girls served at the Cradel Maisonette and spent Saturdays working at Thrift House. Enter- tainments were given at the Illinois Old People's Home and the Swedish Old People's Home. Virginia Snyder headed the Needlework Guild, a group which has made about forty garments for babies, children, and women. One piece of work that must be credited to the club is the establishment of a scholarship to enable some senior girl to gain further education in her chosen field. It is the hope of the club that this scholarship may be the first step toward a wide and helpful work in the future.
