The Redskin f Music and More Mllsirr . GAIN, the Music Department of K. H. SL displayed remarkable talent this year. lg The High School Chorus, consisting of forty-two members, performed very Eff successfully at several important functions. Of these appearances, perhaps ' those to be considered the best were the Christmas Candle Light Vesper Service, featuring the singing of the Hallelujah C'horus, and the selections of negro spirituals given on Stunt Night. The first was presented entirely by members of the Chorus at the Christian Church as a pre-Christmas program. The Girls' and Boys' Glee Clubs also performed separately. The Woman's Club was delighted with selections by the Girls, and a convocation audience received the initial appearance of the Boys with enthusiasm. Additions to the High School Orchestra have greatly improved the organization. Gerald Storey and Orville Nichols, saxophone, and Jo Ann Thomas, bass viol, are the new members. The organization contributed much to the musical spirit and life of K. H. S. having played for the Junior and S'enior plays, the Black 'Cat Night Club sponsored by the Masque and Lyre Club at the Hallowe'en Carnival, and other school programs. Members of the Chorus and Orchestra participated in the County Chorus and Orchestra. Because of repeated demands, a Junior Orchestra and Band were organized. Their first appearance was at the spring' concert given April 26. The Girls' Trio composed of Anita Hale, Alice Andrews, Mary Ed Johnston ac- companied by Julia Henry has been very popular this year and have performed at practically every town function. They had the pleasure of giving a number of out of town programs also broadcasted from South Bend again this year. All in all, the Music Department because of the untiring effort and enthusiasm of Miss Winship, music director, has proved its merit both at school and throughout the County. Masque and Lyre Club ,,,.f-i I- HE Masque and Lyre Club is an organization whose purpose is to further in- ,Z5Tf terest in lnusis and dramatics. The club, now at the age of two and a half years, is under the able leadership of Miss Nees and Miss Winship. The lf!-Bl membership this year is twenty-three. The ofiicers for this term are: Viv-- ian Wagner, President, Don Shilling, Vice Presidentg Eileen Pettis, Scc'y-Treasurer. Our club has had a very profitable year. We purchased pins for the first time and also red caps to wear to the basketball games to help spur the boys on during the game. The club was well represented in both class plays, the orchestra and chorus, and all programs put on by the school. At the Hallowe'en Carnival the Club royally entertained their guests in the f'Black Cat Inn. They put on an original floor show consisting of dancing and singing, and they even had an orchestra which furnished dance music fit for a king. On January 21, 1935 the Masque and Lyre Club held an invitational party, and everyone who attended reported a good time was had by all. We invite all who have an interest in music or dramatics to try out for members ship in our club. We want to express thanks to all who have helped make this a suc- cessful year and hope that next year will he as much of a success, or, if we dare to wish for it, even more of a success. 1935 L

The Red kin By the shores of Yellow River, By the flowing yellow waters, Stood the dear old K. H. S.- pepped up this year by the new tribe of papooses from the forest. The Freshmen this year Heard the razzing of the Seniors, Heard the jeering of the Juniors- But the wise papooses heeded not these jeers and razzes because they were looking for- ward to their year of success as Freshmeng after which their greenness and ignorance would be but past legends and traditions. Give us of your wisdom Seniors, Of your Wisdom, Oh, dear Seniors-l We sincerely hope that the Senior Chiefs will give us their traits so that we may rise to success as did some of their braves. The main papooses were George Krsek, Pearl Rans, Bonnie Andrews, Albert Gur- rado, Meredith Short, Celia Mishkowsky, and Betty Kegel. We were represented on both the first and second teams this year in basketball and hope to be able to support our school in track. Some of our maiden papooses were also well represented on the girls baseball team and at the county girls' meetings. Together with our sponsors, Mr. Lewis, Mr. Barr, and Mr. Loring, and our presi- dentand committees, we attended a successful class party. Several of our papooses were in the High School and Junior orchestra. Out of Childhood into man-and-woman-hood, Now have grown,our small papooses. From papooses to sinewy warriors-- We papooses now say fare-well to our Wigwam K. H. S. but hope to return next year for a more active and intellectual year.

Q The Redskin Annual Class Plays .fi I. HE Fixer, a three act comedy presented by the seniors November 27, was an- gie other success. The story revolved around Waldo Powers CRay Beauchampj who was always getting himself mixed up. His friend, Willie B. Repaid fDon Shillingj was the fixer who tried to fix everything for him, but us- ually made things worse. Marigold Maine, the lovely heroine was played by Evelyn Edwards. Mrs. Maine QHarriett Johnsoni carried very well the role of Marigold's mother. She played opposite Chester Reitknecht, who was the eliicient Dr. Robin Killum. The comedy interests were supplied by Gabriel fMickey Thurmonl and his sweetie, Cleopatra CVivian Wagnerj a maid at the hotel. Hinkle 1 Phillip Badellj was the timid soul who was engaged to Marigold. Ethelyne played by Anita 'Hale depicted the role of secretary to Mrs. Gosnell, fMarion Watsonj and only added to the already mu ch complicated situation. Irene Miller CCamilleJ furnished the love interest for Willie while Inez Byer fRuth Royce! was the plain home girl. Many times the intri- cate, interwoven plot became so complex that it seemed it could never be straightened. However the fixer straightened out all the problems and difiiculties. The audience, convulsed with mirth most of the time, once more paid homage to the dramatic talent of the Senior Class and to the director, Miss Nees. On April 9, 1935 the Juniors produced their first play, a three act mystery drama entitled Tiger House. There were ten charactrs: Erma Lowrie, the pretty heroine, was portrayed by Mary Ed Johnstong Macintosh, her detective-sweetheart by 'Devon Biggs, and Arthur Hale by Edward Roepstorfil The Comedy roles were taken by Ei- leen Pettis as Aunt Sophia, a maiden aunt, Peggy Van Ess, a modern girl, by Audrey Schock, and Oswald Kearns a bug collector, by John Whitson. Mystery and the sinis- ter were added by Yami, a Hindu, played by Neal Smith, the Mystery Woman by Phyl- lis Mosher, Mrs. Murdock by Mary George and Thompson by Frank Gurrado. The play was the first of its type to be presented in our school, and the unusually large audience acclaimed it one of the best ever given. The play was ably coached by Miss Nees. Annual Spring Contests NOX came through the spring contests with her colors flying high and thus proved her supremacy in music commercial work, and mathematics. ln, the annual County Music Contest held Saturday, April 6, at the Center if ' School.
