No school organization could give us the joy and the pride that the band does. All Reagan students, in memory, can hear its martial music calling for the best from each player; hear its strains re-echoing in our auditorium; and see the bright uniforms parading on public and contest occasions. We like our school the better because of our band.

Strains from March Slave and other orchestral gems can be heard in whistle or from lips wherever Reagan students may be. There are fine musicians in our orchestra, many of whom might never have had the privilege of playing but for this organization.

CHORAL CLUB Left to right, hack row: Joe Todd, Cecil Nixon, Milus Wright, Franklin Nelson, C. J. Robinson. Middle row: Ruth Porter, Joyce Hobbs, Ruth Smalley, Frank Warren, H. C. Cooley, Paul Whisehant, Le Mont Christen, Mary Virginia Griggs, Margaret Lockhart, Viola Gerhart, Claudine Snell, Mr. Lindsay.

Not in the picture: Arthur Lee Miller, Paul Porter, Evelyn Smith. The boys and girls, carefully chosen for membership in the Choral Club, have justified their selection, not only in the pleasure they give the school but also in the honor which came to Reagan by reason of their placing first in the South Texas Music Contest at Kingsville. Their uniforms of maroon and white add distinction to their appearance, and their voices united in an A Chapella choir cause the listeners to remember them and look forward to hearing them again. BOYS GLEE CLUB Left to right, back row: Edgar McConnell, Eddie Weisner, Duane Buchanan, Joe Todd, Richard Knipp, C. J. Robinson, Clarence Kaiser, Aubrey Lee Pettit, Eugene Brandt, Burrows Taylor, John Weyer. Middle row: Le Mont Christen, George Wright, Walter Baxter, Kenneth Oliver, Elmer Clark, George Patillo, Fayette Weedin, Edgar Beadle, Vernon Gupton, Jack Stevens, Mr. Lindsay, director.

Not in the picture: Fred Russell, Cornelius Taylor, Arnold Tompkins. The Boys Glee Club placed first at Kingsville, and well it should have. Nature provided the members with proper vocal equipment and endowed their minds with willingness, and Mr. Lindsay trained them. The result is a glee club of which Reagan is proud — proud of the club as a whole and proud of its individual members who have given in spirit, study, and patience all that was nece ssary to become a satisfactory unit of harmonious voices.
