The Music In My Heart I Bore, Long After lt Was Heard No More. VV ith the addition of each succeeding school year, the musical organizations at Monroe High School gain both in prom- inence and in the number of student participants. An exceptionally large increase in the musical interests of students has been evidenced in the past few years. A large amount of this interest can be attributed to the patience and hard work of two of Monroe's outstanding faculty members - Miss Eloise DuChemin and Mr. Charles Benner. Before coming to Monroe, both Miss DuChemin and Mr. Benner were facul- ty members of Amanda School, where they established admirable records in the field of music. The triple trio, under Miss Du- Chemin's direction, appears many times throughout the year, and is noted for its smooth, melodic interpretations. This group of nine girls is one of the fea- ture attractions on the perennial Mon- roe traveling program. It also gives per- formances for the P. T. A., for as- semblies, and for other special musical events. 'A' -Vt'0RDSVK'OR'l'll Besides the triple trio, Miss Du- Chemin teaches vocal music classes, and sponsors the Christmas program and the music festival. She is called upon at numerous assemblies to direct the student body in group singing of school songs, rounds, and folk songs. In the space of two short years, Mon- roe's marching band has progressed from nothing, literally speaking, to one of the finest drilled units ever to don a band uniform. Under Mr. Benner's di- rection, the Monroe band, dressed in snappy gold and blue uniforms, keeps the crowds on their toes during the foot- ball game intermissions. Their forma- tions and marches are marked with pre- cision steps and music. The orchestra and popular orchestra complete the organizations of which Mr. Benner has charge. The band per- forms chielly for athletic contests, while the orchestra plays for assemblies and between the acts of the school dramatic productions. Demand for the popular orchestra is greatest for various dances and for the traveling program. To these two individuals and to the musical organizations, we wish to give our whole-hearted thanks for making Monroe a better school. H
