Ham! Alter many mornings of marching, and many hours of practicing, the long awaited Centennial Day arrived. The band members, dressed in their gay red and white uniforms, marched proudly ahead of the Rural School Floats. Many very good remarks were made about their marching. If some of the members could have heard all of them, they probably would have held their heads high at any encounter with members of other bands. They certainly have earned those remarks with their diligent practice and attendance. November 11. 1936. The Pep Band played at Lake Mills for the last game of the season. The Band Major wore his new dazzling maroon and white uniform. November 19. 1936. For the first time, the Jefferson High School Band played over the air giving a very excellent broadcast. The organization arrived at Madison. Thursday afternoon at 3:30 P. M. Immediately they went to the studio of W.I.B.U. and prepared themselves to give to the world the best they had. At 4.00 P. M. the program was started with a snappy march w hich was followed by an outstanding overture. To change the whole atmosphere created by the peppy march and overture, they played a piece which was very slow. soft, and dreamy. A fine trombone solo was played by Maynard Sell. Then Kenneth Strohbusch played a piano solo. This was also very well done. An overture followed by a few marches concluded the program at 4:50 P. M. Many people enjoyed this program and feel very proud of their Jefferson High School Band. Friday. Dec. 4th. the instrumental music organizations of the school, under the direction of Mr. Anhalt, presented a very fine program to a large audience. This concert is presented every fall to show parents the progress their children make. The Junior Band, composed of 35 members, definitely showed their advancement. A number of the children played excellent solos. The program was concluded by selections played by the senior band. One of the best numbers was “Uncle Tom’s Cabin”. It was something unusual and was cleverly played. This organization consists of sixty members. It has two group rehearsals each week. Mr. Lee acts as business manager and assistant to Mr. Anhalt in conducting this organization. Junior .Band M embers CORNET: Harlow’ Schoessler. Barbara Hetland, Esther Bienfang.

Curls Oloe Club The Girls' Glee Clubs can look back on a very interesting and satisfactory year. This year the two Girls Glee Clubs totaled 75 members quite an increase over last year’s. Since the advanced Glee Club had so many members. Miss Sprague transferred them into the auditorium her room wasn’t large enough. The Monday Club still meets in her room. The girls enjoyed singing there because it was out of the ordinary. With Miss Sprague as the capable instructor, the girls did various things during the year. Not only did the Glee Clubs receive instruction in singing but at the beginning of each class period Miss Sprague and the girls discussed current events in the world of drama and act. Miss Sprague ordered a number of pieces for the girls. Among them were—“Sweet Lotus Flower, “Dedication, ' “Snow, “Nursery Rhymes, and “A Joyous Christmas In the Christmas Operetta, “The Wooden Shoe Christmas, the Glee Clubs made their first scheduled appearance. The two clubs, combined, in their gowns and carrying lighted candles, marched through the assembly, in twos and onto the stage from where they rendered A Joyous Christmas Song, and Country Gardens. The audience certainly showed their appreciation. The Spring Concert again brought forth the Girls’ Glee Clubs in two songs Snow and “Dedication. Again they showed what practice can do. As in the Boys’ Glee Club, a selected group of girls practiced on a few numbers which they rendered at different times during the school year. Miss Sprague can well be proud of her girls. They certainly did their part in what was required of them. An InCervi ew I. The job—doortending. II. The person Wilbur Betschler. III. Attitude toward that section of the public with which he deals they are a pretty tricky bunch. IV. Special observation his job affords him an opportunity to make: 1 would imagine they resort, I said, with pencil and pad in hand, “to all sorts of tricks and schemes to get in, especially when the weather is severe. Yes, he said, they are always trying to pull something over on me. It is either English or Glee club or Band or something that it is positively necessary for them to get in for. If you don’t believe me,’ they say, you can ask Miss Sprague or some other teacher, a great many of them try to follow' the teachers inside, but I can’t let them do it, because 1 am responsible for this job to the janitor. The other day, he continued, I observed one of them trying to pull the door from its hinges. Then, when the door is open, they barge in, to the janitor s exasperation, with their rubbers on.
