THE PURPLE AND GOLD BAND ACTIVITIES We have a few new members this year—Elsie Kring, Eloise Mayne, June Mandigo, and Leta Bailey, all trombone players. Heuvelton Band has played for all basketball games here in Heuvel- ton, forming the letters of the opposing team along with the “H” for Heuvelton. We have a drum majorette, Betty Christie. Last fall, Eleanor Beach, Beverly Nugent, Mary Denny, and Eloise Mix went to Potsdam to play in the Northern New York Representative Band. This spring Eleanor Beach, Beverly Nugent and Paul Wood were chosen to play in the Northern New York Picked Band. Eloise Mix, Barbara Kelly, and Lauris Johnston were chosen as alternates. On May 1st, we played for the Sheffield District meeting. We are planning to put on a concert this summer, with the cooperation of the chorus. We attended May Festival. ORCHESTRA NOTES The Heuvelton High Schcol Orchestra has not been very active this year. Other activities seemed to crowd out nights when we could practice.

THE PURPLE AND GOLD FIFTH AND SIXTH GRADES When school started last September we had an attendance of 22 pupils. We still have the same number although some have left, and others have entered. The following parties have been held in our room during the year— Thanksgiving party, Christmas party and Valentine party. Highest averages have gone to the following pupils during the year: Mary Breckenridge Ronald Backus Mary Link Betty Baxter Virginia Buck Juanita Moore SEVENTH AND EIGHTH GRADE NEWS This year we have had an enrollment of forty-seven pupils. At the present time there are only two with perfect attendance in this room. They are Allen Johnson and James Breckenridge. During the early part of the first semester, the seventh grade Social Studies class enjoyed a trip to the Remington Art Memorial and Public Library in Ogdensburg. After January Regents, Marion Black was promoted into the High School. We put on an assembly program April 3rd in which the seventh and eighth grade orchestra, that was organized this year participated. The main part of our program was a pageant entitled “The Songs of America” in which every student took part. Helen Clark rendered two violin solos. Two of our girls, Maureen Perry and Vaughan Thornhill sang duets between acts of the Senior play. 17

THE PURPLE AND GOLD CHORUS The Chorus has grown this year, both in quantity and quality, we are told. Seven chorus members participated in the selected All Northern New York Choir on November 23rd. They were: Lauris Johnston, Arthur Bullock, Jack LeClair, Paul Wood, Betty McMartin, Arlene Sibley and Betty Christie. We put on an assembly program January 14th, which consisted of many gocd numbers—“Land of Hope and Glory”, “Onward Christian Soldiers” and the historical version of “Yankee Doodle Ooodle” were three of them. Beverly Knapp wrote two extra stanzas for “Yankee Doodle Oedle” which brought its history up to date. The chorus and band are planning a joint concert sometime in May. 19
