Yes, that's what it was when we began practicing. Everyone acquired the habit of closing his ears every Wednesday from 12:30 to 1:15. And you couldn't blame them either. However, we tackled much harder pieces this year than ever before, We graduated from the marches and simple waltzes and began playing classical pieces such as the famous William Tell!! and Poet and Peasant. But I'm not saying that they sounded so classical. We furnished music this year for several of the lyceum numbers and also for the Program given at the Tuesday evening session of the Farmers, Institute. At the Silver Medal contest at Verona our orchestra, together with the orchestra from Verona, played at intermissions. On May the third the All County Orchestra, together with an All County Chorus and Glee Clubs, gave a musical in the auditorium of the Eaton school house. Almost all of the members in our school orchestra played in this All County Orchestra, and Mr. Deschene, our music director, proved a very efficient leader for this All County organization.

The fam! Although the band is much smaller this year than in former years, the general conception is that we have one of the best bands in this section. Great plans were made for a trip to the state band contest at Berea, near Cleveland, but because of the great expense for transportation the plans were abolished. The band made several appearances this year among which were concerts at the County Fair, the West Alexandria Hallowe'en Carnival, the Farmers' Institute, and at every home basketball game. The members of the band are: Trumpezts Henry Seemann, Paul Imel, Howard Brown, Howard Grill, Dean Farra, Phillip Hoffman. Bm'il0ne.r.' Eugene Paul, Russel Steiner.

Boys' Glee Club The biggest feature in the vocal section of Union's musical program this year was the Boys' Glee Club. The first week in Decembertwenty boys were selected from the high school chorus and this group of boys was organized into the glee club. The club made a specialty of singing Negro Spirituals 5 and they proved quite a suc- cess under the direction of our able music teacher, Mr. Deschene. On the evening of March thirty-first the boys entertained the members of the Community Club with a group of these spirituals. Our glee club sang at two sessions of the Farmers, Institute which was held in the High School Building on February seventeenth and eighteenth. They were also on the program at the meeting of the school boards of Preble County held at the Court House in Eaton on March the twenty-first. The climax came when our club was made the nucleus of the All County Boys' Glee Club which sang at the Eaton School Building on the third of May. All of the boys in our club also took part in the All County Chorus. The personnel of the Boys' Glee Club according to sections is: First Tenor:-Eugene Paul, Alva Dafler, Henry Seemann, Marston Myers, james Antrim. Second Tenor:-Raymond Unger, Charles Waltman, Gerald VanAusdal, Cleo Steck, Bovie Bunger. First Bass:-Russel Steiner, Wilbur Moore, Glenn Hoffman, Woodrow Brown, Dale Saul, Robert Singer.
