1936 RED AND BLACK 13 The Orchestra The Orchestra is a very important organization of L. M. H. S. In the spring of 1935, a rating of highly superior was awarded the group at the league contest. Its laurels were increased by gaining the highest orchestral rating given at the Emporia State Contest. This was certainly a record of attainment for both the orchestra and Mr. Sawhill, who was put in charge of the music department in L. M. H. S. the previous year. In addition to participation in contests, the orchestra has assisted at all the plays and it was outstanding in the operetta. The orchestra repeated their triumph of last year by again rating highly superior in the state music contest this spring, The Woodwind Quintet This quintet is composed of Margaret Hyde, fluteg Sarilou Smart, oboeg Bob Pine, clarinetg Jeanne Moyer, bassoong and Betty Bridges, French horn. It received highly superior at the state contest in 1935 and 1936, and a tirst place trophy at the National Band Festival in 1935. The Horn Quartet Although this is one of the newest musical organizations in school, it attained ' first rating trophy at the National Band Festival last year.

1936 RED AND BLACK 15 The Freshman Class For the first time in the history of I.. M. H. S. we had a Freshman class, although it was the smallest class, its size didn't seem to he an indication of what it could really accomplish. Even though there were only seventy in this group, according to reports they're going to continue to be an asset to the school. This class is composed of rural students and students new to Lawrence. The Board of Education decided that the high school program is adapted to these students' needs better than that of junior high. A member of this class, Ernest Cowles, was one of the high school's representatives in the conference forensic meet. He gave an original oration on Soil and Timlrer Con- servation, and placed third in the contest. We dont know just why, but the freshmen chose all boys for their class officers. Dick Cayton was elected president, Richard Carter, vice-president, Carl Spray, secre- taryg Warren Hodges, treasurer, and Howard Heck, student council representative. The sponsors are Miss Bernhard, Miss Lorimer, Mr. Williams, and Mr. Vogel. A Freshman club was held each Wednesday to help acquaint these newcomers with the school.
