R. O. T. C. ORGANIZATIONS The R.O.T.C. has four active organizations, the first is the R.O.T.C. Band, which was com- posed of thirty cadets under the direction of Cap- tain William Burnham and commanded by Cadet First Lieutenant Edward Murtaugh, assisted by Cadet Second Lieutenants Bruce Bell, Peter Broehl, and Robert Smitter. The records were kept by Cadet First Sergeant Charles Kiefer. The only graduating officers this semester are Lieu- tenants Murtaugh and Bell. What is a military organization without a good band? It hasn't any pep, you,ll say. Our boys have improved greatly over last semester and added much to the Army Day Parade and to the Federal Inspection. The Commissioned Ojicvrs Club again chose for the second semester, Cadet Major John Lisack and First Lieut. Francis Mikels to hold the offices of president, 'and secretary-treasurer respectively. The club this semester, meets in the R.O.T.C. office before school on Tuesdays at seven o,clock. A committee of ofhcers headed by Major Lisack a-nd assisted by First Lieutenant Murtaugh, Sec- ond Lieutenants, Bell, Mohr, Peterson, Smitter, and Tomasek put on the first Annual Military Ball which was held in the school gymnasium the evening of April 24. The affair was semi- formal and was termed a huge success by the entire unit. The No-11-Cofzziizissiofmd Officers Club, under the leadership of the tallest cadet in the unit, First Sergeant Earl Swanson, met every other Wednesday tenth hour in room 144. Other officers in the club were Sergeant Howard An- drews, vice-president, and Sergeant George Dek- ker as the secretary-treasurer. At every meeting an oHicer would speak on some phase of military tactics, to prepare the N.C.O.'s for the Federal Inspection. The purpose of this club is to prepare the N.C.O.,s to be commissioned ofiicers. Real- izing their ability in R.OT.C. tactics, Sergeant W. Robinson promoted all the members of this year,s crack drill squad. Cadet Corporals Parker jones and Howard Schmidt were promoted to the rank of Staff Sergeants and the rest of the mem- bers of the squad to corporals. The Rijic Team this semester was headed by Cadet First Lieuten- ant William Turnbull, who was range officer. Other members of the Rifle team were: Cadet Major John Lisack, Cadet Captains Edward Hen- ley and Ernest Malnassy, Cadet Second Lieuten- ants Henry Mohr and Udell Tomasek, Cadet Ser- geants George Dekker, Howard Schmidt, Richard Webber, and Parker Jones. For the first time in the unit's history major school letters have been awarded to members of the rifle team. Page 80

x GERMAN ORCHESTRA In this picture are: Kausrud, Chiaro, leader, Ekstrom, Woi- cick, Fraser, Sizoo, Biegal, Sternberg, Gabel, Peterson, Todd, Tharp, Morrill, Schmidt, Wilner, Boomker, Balabon, Fried- sam, Ellis, Sanasa, Swanson, Ver Hook. .J ,. a l ' AN ORCHESTRA The German orchestra will play only German musicv stated Miss Korten who is the faculty adviser. Originated for students who are inter- ested in German folk songs, marches, and other familiar German selections. The forming of a German orchestra was Miss Korten's splendid idea. A person need not think he has to be German to be in this orchestra for anyone who likes German music may belong. Norman Gable, the orchestra,s manager, is very busy managing the affairs of the orchestra. With his characteristic unselfish devotion to music of the school, Mr. Neil Trimble consented to direct the work of this orchestra of which William Chiaro, the city's famous trombone player, is the student director. This organization was formed this semester and hopes to have enough members next semester to continue its work in the music of Germany. We hope to hear more of this orchestra, so come out and practice. ' ADVANCED ORCHESTRA Harmonious strai-ns of music issue forth when the advanced orchestra commences to play one of Bach's, Mendelssohn's, or Beethoven's selections. An able instructor, Mr. Trimble has developed quite a number of musicians, some of whom bega-n not knowing a note. If you think that an orchestra director,s job is a snap, just drop around to room 206 and watch the proceedings. He presented members of the advanced orchestra, who served in the orchestra for two consecutive semesters without receiving credits, with harps made of chenille to wear on their sweaters. An assembly was presented on March 24, giv- ing the orchestra members practice in facing an audience in preparation for the Chicago High School Solo Contest, in which they participated. L'Arlisienne Suite by Bizet and the Magic Flutei' by Mozart were the numbers rendered at the assembly, the former of which was chosen for the contest. Before this contest selection, the orchestra played what is called a warm up number in musical terms. Hours and hours of hard work were spent practicing for the contest. In charge of all affairs we find Joe Biegel, who is the secretary of the orchestra as Well as its musical librarian. He is also in charge of the distribution and collection of all sheet music. Probably next semester some other eificient person of Fengeris population may steo into his shoes and carry on the excellent work.
