We could easily be ident- ified by our bright red band coats and white pants. The following year, under Mr.Lew1s direction, we received a rating of superior in the sub-district contest. 5 then went to the Mason City contest where we were rated an excellent. For the first few months, of school year '36 and '37, our band contin- ued to improve and to growin number under Mr. Lewis' direction. Then we had a change when Mr. N. J. Newman, from Shell Rock, was appointed to carry on the work of leadership. Then our band began to branch out under his conduc- ting. To the sub-district contest, we sent our brass sextet, clarinet quar- tet and concert band: all received an excellent rating.

Nothing is more welcome in high schools than a Boy's Glee Club. Although our club has not appeared before the public much this year, the school proudly boasts of a fine group of male voices. Miss Black was our leader in our freshman year, l934g and we entered several sollsts in the contest at Jefferson. On the night of March 29, 1935, the glee club presented a beautiful operetta entitled HAn Old Spanish Custom.H The next year our glee club was under the direction of Mr. Gilbert, and we rated a superior at the Jefferson contest after which we went to Mason City, as ex cellent rating barred us from going In our junior year, under Miss entertainments for the public.

And merry old souls were theyg They called for the flutes, And they called for the horns, And they called for the fiddlers three. The spasmodic practices of the orchestra have been the source of melod- ious syncapations from the music room for the past four years. It was pro- bably some genius bright idea to erect heavy doors to prevent those sounh from issuing up to second floor. We had a thriving orchestra in 1934 and 1935, and by the next year we were well prepared by our conductor, Mr. Lewis, to enter the sub-district contest at Jefferson where we received a rating of superiorg after which we went to Mason City and were rated an excellent. The following year, during which we had a change in directorsg from Mr. Lewis to Mr. Newmang our orchestra was still a Hsqueaklng success,' not only in number, but in technique. After the Manson sub-district contest we came home with an nexee11ent'. In our senior year, the interest taken by the members was very evident Many spent their 'hour a dayn of practice with the hope thatxnxt year they might 'burst forth in all their glory,' 22
