After the regular initiation stunts, a potluck dinner and dancing followed. The annual Spanish Fiesta, honoring Pan-American Day, was changed somewhat this year. Although carrying out the theme of the Spanish Fiesta, idea of a masquerade ball was added. The marriage, divorce, and fortune telling booths, the breaking of the pinata, and the unmasking were the high lights of the evening. A grand march was held to choose the best masquerade costume. The gym was decorated colorfully. Bal- loons and confetti filled the air. A Spanish Club party was held toward the end of the year at the swimming pool. Everyone had a good time stuffing himself with food. The Spanish Club also sponsored an artists assembly this year.

■ (bit Qhib OFFICERS MIKE CAMPBELL LESTER RAMSEY DOROTHY WHITE (Whole Year) President Vice-President Secretary The Art Club worked its way, quietly, through the football season with the usual number of posters for the advertising of games. The Freshmen learn to do their hand printing and decorating on posters, and it gives them pleasure to see their handiwork in the various windows downtown. The Christmas scene for the hall was done by Elba Squires, Myron Campbell and Janet Adams. The Christmas tree was decorated by Ruth Ingram, Lucille Moss and Shirley Cox. Various individual projects have been completed with varying degrees of success, such as moulding of animal figures with paste and paper, carving in wood, block chalk and soap, illustrating favorite songs and stories, and doing short poems in illuminated Old English print. These made up our general exhibit for Public School Week and our Parents' Night. Social activities have been limited this year but we always manage to make our meetings for any purpose social enough for most of us, even while drawing designs for F.F.A. invitations to the Parents' and Sons' Banquet or painting table favors and decora- tions for a Schoolmasters' Dinner.

VYIuajLc Under the direction of Mr. King Stevens, our music department has been among the most active departments in Gridley High School this year, with three performing or- ganizations bsides a number of soloists, trios, etc. Among the programs most enjoyed by the music students were the Music Club Shows which were presented at Wilson Grammar School, and many of the high schools within a radius of fifty miles of Gridley. These shows featured the advanced band, the advanced chorus, the dance orchestra, and dancers along with several soloists and small groups. Everyone in the show was dressed in some kind of costume. The chorus members were dressed as Indians, the band wore their colorful blue and gold uniforms, and the dancers had costumes of various kinds including two of the funniest clowns you have ever seen. Highlights of the year were the fall concert and the Chico Festival. Gridley High entered all three performing units in the Festival. Each group played the followinq numbers: BAND Air Waves March Olivadoti Finale. From the New World Symphony Dvorak CHORUS Jalousie Gade Begin the Beguine Drake DANCE ORCHESTRA Oh, But I Do Schwartz The Rickety Rickshaw Man Drake Other programs played by the music department included music for various town clubs and organizations, a fashion show for the Junior Women's Club, school rallies, parades, the Portuguese Holy Ghost Celebration, Baccalaureate, and graduation. Last year our Girls' Glee Club had the honor of being called the best glee club Gridley has ever had, and this year because of added experience, our Girls' Glee Club was considerably better than last year. For the first time we added a beginning chorus to our music department curriculum. Twenty-five members signed up. These should fill in the ranks of the senior choir next year with well trained voices. Nancy Steadman McMurtry accompanied the advanced choir: Carolyn McPherson accompanied the junior choir. In line with the philosophy of our music department, the Gridley School Music Club sponsored two artist programs which were given in assemblies for the entire school.
