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.

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. GIRLS GLEE CLUB Left to right, hack row: Earline Hill, Anna Laura Westmoreland, Phyllis Lem, Kitty Skelton, Bernice Schmidt, Etroyse Gentry, Ruth Ferguson, Barbara Dibble, Audrey Chalon, Fleta Belle DeRouen, Roberta Kessler, Jesslyn Smith, Constance Chanos.

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. REAGAN ORCHESTRA Left to right, back circle: Joe Pettitte, Leonard Myers, Fred Look, Russell Martin, Harold Lindsay, Louis Eberspacher, Mr. Lindsay, director; Jack Love, Ed Moser, Gaines Parker, Clayton Lee, Dexter Gordon, Jennie Mae Rulick, Vernice Ostrander, Richard Love, Raymond Kaufman, Helen Kosta, Alethia Busselle, Lucille Dixon.

Front circle: Marcelle McRae, George Newell, Betty Jo Reagan, Eilene House, Emery Borne, Mary V. Dowell, Rachael Spiller, Ruth Atkinson, Mary Pearl Dover. Not in the picture: Louise Atkinson, Bill Uhalt. Our orchestra surprises and delights us with its music. Apparently nothing is too difficult for it to do creditably. 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.
