' G O S H O N I A N ' , T Scholarship Awards An academic contest is held every year in the various counties of the state with pupils participating from all the county high schools. Each school is permitted to enter two pupils in each subject. The participants in each subject winning first and second place in each county become members of the county team. The county teams of the various sections of the state are given another test. The grades of the winners of each section of the state are compared and in this way the winners of the state are determined.

Remick organized a music class with the hope that it would be developed into an orchestra. Each pupil took a private lesson and all pupils were brought together for a group rehear- sal at a certain time of the day. The Board of Education kindly gave the use of the grade school building. When school opened in the fall permission was obtained to continue the work in the Goshen High School building. In the spring of '55 this orchestra gave its first concert. The work of the members was recognized by each receiving a letter. In the fall of '52 Allen West was sent to the N.E.O.T.A. Orchestra which played for the Teachers' Convention in Cleveland. This orchestra, consisting of 150 of the best high school musicians of the Northeastern district of Ohio, plays every third year. This year we had a represen- tative, John Williams, in the grade school contest at Delaware. There were over 200 young soloists from all over the state entered on all of the legitimate band and orchestra instruments. How about a band for next year? It can be done. ieJ. U. hemick '-gtiwq, ' 4 ' cies Club In the school year of 1929-50, a glee club was organized in Goshen High School'by Estelle Cole, who has been our instructor in music since 1927. Our glee club has numbered between fifty and sixty, including both boys and girls, ever since it was organized. In 1952-55 a girls' trio, a boys' quartet, and Allen ?est won high honors in a distlict contest at Kent. The glee club has participated in several public events this year. On larch 29 we took part in a literary program. The high school orchestra and the glee club gave a concert on April 17. Two special numbers, HLovely Appearn from 'The hedemptionn by Gounod and HSend Out Thy Lightn. Gounod, were rendered by a group from the glee club at the Damascus Friends Church on Sunday morning, march 10. ' By graduation this year we lose thirteen members from the glee club. we feel the loss of these because many have been with us during their entire high school years and have become quite competent singers. ' Since the glee club has been organized we have had several accomu .'.panists. Betty Hobson, Evelyn Cosand, and Virginia Lora have served. -' At present Hrs.
