Possibly many students began to realize that music is not sissy stuff but something to be enjoyed. A The mixed chorus held only two practices a week, and, like the band, was some- times split into two groups, the boys and the girls. They learned such selections as The Bubble, Lost Chord, Swing Low Sweet Chariot and The Lord's Prayer. An innovation of the music department was combining the mixed chorus and the band for The Lord's Prayer. The most active of the vocal groups was the girls' sextette. Besides singing at various school functions the girls sang for different organizations of the town, such as the Woman's Club, United Service Woman's Club and different Ladies Aids. Sing- ing 'AWinter Wonderland, Dancing Sunbeamsf' Gypsy Moon, When Song is Sweet and other tuneful melodies, the girls, accompanied by their director Mrs. Christie, found appreciative audiences wherever they appeared. -021-0

-l-li? Down B6dt ill to the town's main square to play two or three peppy num- bers and then advanced to the field to perform for the specta- tors. After the football season the inside rehearsals began, and it was then decided who should have first chairs. In the clari- net section first chair was held by Charles Ewoldt and Mary Ann Hansohng in the cornets, Orville Friedrichsen. Now instead of playing marches Coonie began handing out overtures such as Robin Hood , Jolly Robbers , Metrop- olis , and Victor Herbert's Favorites . About the first of February Coonie and the band, thinking of the spring contest, began intensive practice on Built on a Rock , by Uggen, The Three Graces by O'Neill, and Mighty Minnesota by K. L. King. Breaking the band into two sections, the reeds and the brass, Coonie held separate re- hearsals. After a time the band was united, and by the time the contest arrived each member knew his and everybody else's music, too. Smaller instrumental groups, the brass quartette and sextette, were also spending many hours preparing for the forthcoming contest. Selections chosen by the brass sextette were The Stranger by Schumann and A Night in June by K. L. King. The brass quartette played The Three Original En- sembles by Quinto Maganini and Summer Afternoon by Gustav Klemm. Only two members of the band played solos. Bobby Fritz. french horn, played Spring's Awakening by Bach, and Robert Vollmar, trombone, played f'Thoughts of Yesterday by Clay Smith. Brass Sextet: O. Friedrichsen, J. Langland, R. Fritz, R.

Starting the season with an inexperienced squad, Coach Kraai had some difficulty in building a line and shaping up a backfield that could pick up where the 1943 gridders had left off. The team finished the season with one win over Onawa, a tie with Schaller and five defeats. To these fellows who never quit, we say: Hail to the lad in the helmet and pad, The boy of the pigskin and cleat. Lift him on high with a victory cry And cheer him as well in defeat.
