BAND This is the second year that Lebanon has had an organized high school band. The band has been under the direction of Mr. Wiscarson both years. On the first day of school last year twelve students turned out for band. The band can now boast of forty-six members, not including the flashy corps of nine girl drum majors and two boy drum majors. The possibility of a ninety-piece band next year is promising. Perhaps the item of least importance to band members is the one-half credit a year they receive for band work. An item of far more importance to them is the trips taken. This year, besides playing for football, basketball and baseball games at home, the band played at games in Albany and Corvallis. The organization gave a concert at Sweet Home and a joint concert with the Albany band. Plans are being made for the band to appear in the Rose Festival parade at which time it will compete for a prize. Last year the band entered the state contest in Class C and came home with a rating of “Excellent,” which is the same as second place. This year it again entered the contest and came home with a rating of “Superior,” which is the same as first place. The Lebanon Band entered in Class C but it had the only single superior rating in Classes A, C, and B. All those who were present at the contest agreed that Leba- non had the flashiest and neatest uniforms of any band present. Comments from the judges were all very favorable.

GLEE CLUB Featured by a year of intense activity, the Glee Club points with pride to a fine record of achievement in their opera, their concerts and the state contest. The chorus consists of sixty-eight members, thirty of which are boys and thirty-eight are girls. Miss Irene Moore has been the director of vocal music in Lebanon High School for the past two years and during that time she has attained a marked degree of success. The music season opened in the fall with a joint concert of the Band and Glee Club. At Christmas time the Glee Club went caroling and entertained the assembly with a short program. In February the Glee Club presented the premier performance on the Pacific coast of the opera “The Nighingale” by Joseph Clokey. In March the Glee Club gave an hour’s broadcast over KOAC and later in the month they gave an- other concert with the Band. This year the Glee Club entered the state contest in Class B rather than in Class C which made it the smallest school in Class B since schools of four hundred fifty to eight hundred usually enter in this class. Lebanon’s entries took first place in all groups in Class B. These groups were: girl’s quartet, boy’s quartet, girl’s glee club, boy’s glee club, and the mixed chorus. Dean Stephens placed second in boy’s low voice at the solo contest. The Glee Club received first for the Ensemble cup and second in Sweep- stakes. Betty Keebler was accompanist for all entries.
