If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again” . . . that was our motto a few years ago and we used it again this year when organizing our senior mixed chorus. The boys were wary and uncertain of the usefulness of vocal music in their activities but after much encouragement ... a lot of talking ... a glimpse at the music in store for them . . . they began to attend rehearsals . . . each time in growing numbers. We experimented at first with patriotic music and then dipped into old favorites like Old Man River” and Roll Chariot, Roll”. This group sang nobly throughout the music department’s operetta and trained itself for competition at the music festival. The Junior chorus, too, showed their growing ability with an enchanting performance at the junior class play. Their appearance stole the audience’s eye immediately . . . boys in coats and bow ties . . . girls in their best frocks and hair ribbons . . . they made a hit and intend to live up to it!

This organization, made up entirely of girls, has spent many hours in practice for its numerous performances this year. Only they, knew the hurrying and anxiety ... the collars popping out at the last moment before stage-time . . . the last frenzied look in a mirror . . . the intense heat surrounding the rostrum throughout a rendition . . . the final note and the curtains closing ... a sigh of relief and a rush for the hall and cooler air. Yes, our glee club has worked and achieved a name for itself in the surrounding community. Miss Tennihill has taught us new ways to form words . . . how to make harsh words sound soft . . . high notes, clear . . . low notes, deep. Our rented gowns have added a note of elegance to our club . . . we initiated them at the Christmas concert. We dressed in formal guise for the senior high operetta, H.M.S. Pinafore” only to don our gowns again at the presentation of The Crucifixion”, the Easter cantata. It was then that we chose new music to prepare for the annual music festival. This has been a great year in music ... we shall never forget it! C A mixed group of twenty-five voices formed a new and exciting music organization this year. They coined their own name . . . wrote parts to some of their music . . . practiced faithfully and produced a program of popular numbers which they presented at the senior class play and the one-act plays. This first taste of the popular was good . . . next year we will make it better. 'r avetuutaczed til »M f » c Left to right, First Row; L. Serfling, T. White, J. Harstad, D. Ellingson, C.

It took six years to prove that they really could sing . . . these athletic giants that at last consulted their vocal chords and blended the results in a booming chorus of he-man song. Mr. Storti trained the group to sing as men would and the practice periods assured us of that! This is a club that will gain new members and lose others in the coming years ... an activity that will continue to be the boys’ favorite . . . next to sports! Left to right. First Row: K.

This organization rose to new heights this past year in instrumental work . . . they were present at every local athletic event . . . coordinated to the second with the cheer-leaders and music cheering . . . they added a vocalist. Miss Dorothy Beach, who charmingly told a story through song at the subdistrict tournament . . . their repertoire grew with the addition of current popular numbers as well as old favorites . . . they climaxed a brilliant year by supporting the team at the regional tournament— even though a little smaller than the other bands represented there, they played from their hearts as well as their lungs. Hats off to our pep band! • 25 •
