We were represented in the county orchestra this year by five Zgiifga, of our members. The chorus has also been active this year. Twelve of the members sang in the county chorus, which with the county orchesltra performed at the Knox gym: on March S. Members of the above organizations and pupils from the lower grades participat- ed in the county music contest held at Knox on April 1. The Knox School dqid remark- ably well in the County Music Contest. Anita Hale took Hrst place in violin, Alice An- drews first place in high school piano, Don Shilling first place in cllarinet, Rlosalee Tot- ten second place in girls, voice and Julia Helen Henry third place in grade piano. The Music 'Department has sponsored many other projects this year: a special chorus of about thirty-live voices sang the Hallelujah Chorus from the Messiah at the Methodist Church, a junior choir of girls has sung at the Chamber of Commerce, Womanfs Club, amd the Eastern Star, and a school band has been organized with the aid of Mr. Harry Lorirng.

We feel very fortunate in having such a talented teacher as Miss Winship, and we appreciate very miuch her instruction both to individuals and to groups. May Day Program VERY grade in the school was represented in the May Day Program, which glorined the slogan, Youth is the strength of America-make American youth strong. The program oonsisted of the May Queen Coronation by the first grade, the annual May Pole 'Dance by the second grade, an Indian Dance by the third grade, a Wand Drill by the fourth grade, various games, stunts, relays, and infor- mal activities by the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grades.

37 THE REDSKIN 7 Alumni News We I WISH to congratulate the I student body of the Knox High -School, on this issue of the Redskin. Student publica- tions are always of great interest to the alumni, helping them to keep in touch with current events in the high school, and to recapture some of the spirit of past school days. While wishing for the continued suc- cess of the Redskin, I hope that next year it may expand itself into 'a Sang bur. My four Sandburs, 1906, 1919, 1926 and 1927, :are invaluable memen- tors to me. iNot only do I enjoy look- ing back to see how the class of '33 looked at the age of ten years, but when- ever in doubt as to any of my friends' ages, it is convenient to run over the alumni roster, note the date of gradua- tion, and add eighteen years. The alumni are not planning a re- unionsthis year, but some time between now and next June expect to arrange a meeting for 1934 and will then be happy to welcome in fraternal spirit those classes who have not yet met with their predecessors in graduation from K.H.S. For this I know you will have enthus- iasm, for the keeping of the friendships you have already formed, ,and the mak- ing of new ones, will be two of the most important factors for happiness in your lives. -Stella Klopot Bonner OFFICERS Kathryn Fox Helms.

Notes E- HERE is nothing more Hatter- ,EJSI in mg to be said about 'any Par- idtfgl--3 ent Teacherfs Association than this-that the year has been profitably spent. The year 1932-33 will always be a banner year in the hiss tory off the Knox P.-T.A. Equipped with a capable and ambihous staff of officers and committees, the year began October 3 with great enthusiasm and maintained the same to the very lasrt meeting, May 8. Loyalty and co-opera- tion were the watch words.. The attend- ance was increased from. an average of '75 to 135, the largest attendance be- ing 250. 'The year's achievements were out- standing. The Ways and Means com- mittee, through a Halloween Carnival, a dance, and ia card party, earned over 85200, in spite of the many handicaps they had to overcome. The program committee piresenvted some rare treats in music and lectures which were enjoyed bv the entire community. The C-hild Welfare committee promoted an eye clinic at which evefry child in school re- ceived ian examination of his eyes, free. Thev also provided meals for the less fortunate children during the cold months, the hot lunches being prepared and served by the Domestic Science De- partment. There will be a summer round-up of pre-school age children in June. The usuaal donation wlas igiven toward .the maintenance of the bathing beach at the river. Two achievements of which the tovnm of Knox may always be proud are the Girl Scourts and the Boy Scouts. These organizations are nationally chartered and active. The Knox P.-T.A. is direct- lv responsible for their organization and glories in their existance. The interest and confidence of our friends and members have made this very worth while association possible. The perfect co-operation between our teachers and pfafrents is a source of just pride to us and an example that any school mighrt emulate. An active P.T.A. in a cummunity is ia sign of a modern, progressive community. F6573 OFFICERS Sylva Reiss Jonas, President u v., -2 Lula Rx-rschka. Vice President Mildred Stanley.

HE dramatic talent in has been plentiful this year, and we may de- Lggi Ea velop several great actors and actresses yet. ,KHFJLJB Interest in this field has been incited by the organization of the Dramatic and Music C-lub under the management of Miss Nees and Miss Winshipi. The three upper classes are eligible to join, and the members are selected according to their ability. Myron Bleam was chosen for president. The members of this club have performed for the Chamber of Commerce, the California Township P.-T.A., and even did original work by writing a play which they produced at the Woman's Club County Convention. The seniors scored again for dramatics when they presented their play, The De- pression Blues. This play was a modern comedy in touch with the times. The part of the extnavagant, socially inclined mother who refused to worry about the depression was played by Rosemary Thurrnon. The romance was furnished by her children, played by Myron Bleam. Linus Loudermilk, and Marjorie Smith and their respective sweethearts, played by Hazel Rogens, Anna Mae Cox, and John Moreland. The comedy was furnished mainly by Marie Ferretti and'Kenneth Keen. The cast, under the able direction ov? Miss Nees, was well repaid for its work by the enthusiastic audience. The Juniors have gained recognition of their dramatic ability by giving their play, A Husband for Sale. The fortune hunter, played by Mike Gurrado, planned to marry Margaret Schricker, a wealthy srpinster, who married Mike's valet, by mistake. Plenty of love interest was furnished by Ethelmae Falkergthal, who is in love with Mike, and Candace Raschka, who played opposite Percy Little. Jeannette Bleam and George Johnson were two humorous negroesg Sidney Fout was a minister and Elnora Schulltz a firm manhater. This also, was directed by Miss Nessg and the Juniors are elated very much over their success. Spring Contests X LONG with spring came the contests which we had in almost every depart- ment this year. In ovur local Latin contest for the beginning year Lyyli 'vggg Ervo won first place, and Dean Wright second. Harriet Johns-on was the winner in the second year. At the county contest they again proved their ability, and the first year contest was won by Lyyli and Harriet Johnson took first place in the second year. The mathematicians, 'Dean Wright and John Whitson, won first and second places respectively in the local algebra 1 contest. The stenography students were given state tests also. In the beginning shorthand the two highest scores were made by Kathryn Wiedergott and Ruby Fechmerg Rwby Fechner and Ruth Cihak were winners in first year typing. For the advanced short- hand class Myron Bleam and Rosemary Thurmon made the two highest scores, and in typing Myron and Vera Susdorf ranked first and second. We even had a county spelling contest, and the three Knox contestants were among the last five in the match.
