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

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 F. H. A. What Is It? Who Is It? Why Is It? Who Runs It? What Goes On? What Else? The F H. A. Club (Future Homemakers of America) The Homemakers in classes— Home Economics 1 Homemaking A To establish and organize groups of girls interested in domestic science for the purpose of having good times together. Our officers: President—Ola Woodcock Vice President—Emma Lou Chambers Secretary and Treasurer—Jessie McCoully Recreation Chairman—Rosaline Hartley Adviser—Miss Beswick Twice a month we meet, once as a group in the home- making room to take care of the business dealings in our club, and once in a lively social function (a party with “Big Time” games, a hike, a bicycle ride, picnic, hot dog roast, or any other get-together that has fun for all). One of our rules is to have lots of good things to eat. There is a National F. H. A. camp near Croghan, New York, which will be in session during the first week in July. We have chosen Rosaline Hartley and Ola Woodcock to go with Miss Beswick in taking ad- vantage of these exciting days at camp. The ex- penses for the girls will be paid through our treas- ury fund. 20
