Marching Along Together Looks of admiration go down the line as people watch our marching band go by. Decked out in new uniforms, the traditional maroon and white colors, the band is now one of the best dressed school bands in the state. On March 8, Mr. Anderson, present band director, joined the faculty, succeeding Mr. Corn, former director, who left to go into defense work. Two concerts were given by the band during the year, a winter one in Janu- ary, a spring one in May. The pep band played at all home-town basketball games. The whole band marched between halves at the football games. The entire band traveled to Lin- coln October 9, where they played in mass formation with other school bands during the half of the Nebraska-Indiana football game at Memorial Stadium. Members of the band played in quartets, trios, and duets, as well as solos, before various groups of the city. Twelve band members journeyed to Fremont April 16 to attend the District music contest. They captured five Superiors, two Excellents, and one Good rating, thus bringing to a close a very successful year. Personnel of the Band Hack row, standing-I.. Hassellmlch. M. Howard. N. Schroen. M.

,,W.a2ff Ever Since Eve The troubles of Johnny Clover. editor of the school paper, and his best pal. Spud Erwin, were related in the amusing comedy Ever Since Eve presented May 6-7 by the Seniors under the direction of Miss Libby Blazkovec. This play, centered around school life. tells in a hilarious manner the life of Mr. and Mrs. Clover and their son, Johnny. The escapades of Susan Blake, neighbor. add more than just a little to the boys' difficulties, especially in the matter of the school paper. Susan, made co- editor by Miss Willard, has modern ideas as to how a school paper should be run. and after listening to Johnny's explanation of the barter system to the luscious, southern belle, Lucy- belle Lee, gets an idea. Spud's vain attempts to sell ads to finance a 3-color cover, drives her to the system of bartering . The result would hardly be called good business, but it did bring results. Measles plus the 3-color cover managed to bring together Mr. Quinn and Miss Willard. and to show Johnny that a southern accent wasn't the only thing in life. Betsy Erwin, Spud's talkative sister. and Cappy add laugh- ter to the farce. The 382 laughs recorded by the cast proved beyond a doubt that the play was outstanding and characterizations super . ln Gay Havana Against the background of a colorful Cuban setting and the rhythmic strains of a native orchestra, this operetta, presented by the A Capella Choir March 18 and 19, was especially successful. It was under the direction of Miss Leota Davis. The music. decidedly Cuban in style. had a catchy rhythm and good melody. The plot contained just the right amounts of mystery and romance to make it exciting. The guests at the Hotel Isla de Cuba are confined by the outbreak of the perennial Cuban revolution which causes many misunder- standings. The plot is built around the various complications which result. The mystery element enters upon the arrival of a beautiful Cuban girl and her mysterious companion at the hotel. Romance is supplied by some American college boys who are guests. and by the native Cuban senoritas.
