Band This year's baud has been very suc- cessful. and there are prospects of a bigger and better band for next year. On hand for ev- ery game, both toot- ball and basketball, our band deserves much credit for inn slpiring enthusiasm .and loyalty. No Hpepl' session Was a success Without the stirring and lively band music. This year Goshen was chosen to be the host to the Dis- trict Band and Or- chestra Contest. Many preparations are being made and We hope that it will be a success. Soloists, quartets, ensembles are Working hard. .Any evening after school hours, tooting may be heard all over the building. They hope to bring honors to G. H. S. and community. Orchestra The music department was successful last year in sending to the State Contest the band and orchestra, as Well as soloists and ensembles. At Huntington, the scene of the District Contest, the orchestra received first division honors, which permitted them to compete in the State Con- test at Crawfordsville. Mr. Brinklow took over the leadership of the orchestra and ably conducted it through the performances, Miss Aline Hower, who led the organization to honors in the National Contest at Chicago in 1933, was unable to carry on the Work due to serious illness. Although a number of competent members were lost through graduation last year, vacancies were filled by incoming Freshmen this year. Our High School is proud that the District Contest is being held here this year. VVe feel that it is an honor to be the host to hundreds of young musicians. The orchestra is aspiring not only to Win the District, but also the State at Evansville. VVe hope that both band and orchestra will be adequately rewarded for the many hours of practice and planning. We know that the effor ts of all concerned will not have been in vain. On to the State! G. H. S. musicians. VVe're for you 100?6. THE CRIMSON OF 1935

The Forum Club The Forum Club was organized four years ago by the students of the public speaking depart- ment for the purpose of stimulating interest and student participation in forensics. The club meets every two weeks at the homes of members, and the programs consist of speeches, discussions, games, and contests. , In January the club earned money to send the debate teams to the Purdue University de- bate round-up by presenting before the student body a one-act play, Elmer , in which Dick Culp, Eloise Brown, Bette Yoder, Bonne Yoder, Kathlyn Blough, Sara Blosser, Eleanor Yoder, Morrice Kelly, and John Sheridan starred. On February the club presented one of the outstand- ing entertainments of the year when it brought Murdock, the Magician, to the school. Each year in May the club sponsors an oratorical contest. The first prize is a silver loving cup, second, a silver medal, and third, a bronze medal. This year the event was presented as part of the school exhibit. Last year VValdo Lehman won first, Don Custis, second, and Dick Bosse, third. The officers of the club are Dick Culp, president, Frances Rieth, vice-president, Sara Blos- ser, secretary, Donita Hartzler, treasurer, and Merle Shanklin, sponsor. THE CRIMSON or 1935
