Chorus Chorus started the year with some 55 members. This group gave a short Christmas cantata on the afternoon of December 20. At the beginning of the second semester this group was cut to 42 members due to contest regulations. This made the group much easiel' to handle and made it possible to use a smaller room for rehearsal. X From this group, a double mixed quartet was picked, which was 'made up as follows: Sopranos-Marjorie Leffler and Bonnie Leffler, Altos-Fay Gangwish and Jane Adair, Tenors-Maurice Schuman and La Vern Schneider, Basses- Curtis Leffler and Darwin Yonkers. This group will participate in the music festival of the Frenchman Valley and also will enter the district music contest at McCook. This group has received instruction from both Miss Morgan and Mr. Evans. Miss Morgan is pianist for the group and Mr. Evans is the director. -9-

One boy took active part in football and five took part in basketball. Four of the girls belonged to the pep club. Six members of the class took part in dra- matics and a good number in vocal and instrumental music. The Freshmen were entertained at an initiation party early in the year.

Ins+rumen'ral Class Due to the fact that most of the Band and Orchestra graduated in the class of 1940, Miss Morgan and Mr. Evans found themselves with a very serious lack of players at the beginning of this year. However a call was put out for beginners and students responded readily. At the end of the first semester a band of 18 pieces was organized. In this group were 6 cornets, 3 clarinets, 2 baritone horns, 2 trombones, 2 alto saxo- phones, bass horn, snare drum, and bass drum. Three individuals, starting late in the semester, on cornet, saxophone, and clarinet were not ready to play with the larger group and continued their individual practices. The band made its first public appearance at the Hamlet basketball game, February 6. Nine individuals got the benefit of class instruction in violin, given by Miss Morgan. Orchestra was not organized during this year because of the inexperience of all the players but will be among the music activities next year. -10-
