While the seventh and eighth grade singers receive no credit for their enjoyment, the Freshmen receive one- fifth of a credit a year for singing on Mondays and Wednesdays in the sixth period. At the beginning of the year, a special chorus was chosen from the most experienced vocalists. It assembled every Monday and Friday during the Home Room period to perfect the singing of various pieces. - Although there was a slightly smaller number of singers in the Junior Chorus than last year, Mr. Clark, the director, has done a very fine piece of Work during the year and should be heartily congratulated by the student body. During the month of May, a music festival was held in which many of the members participated. The Junior Chorus members who were not included in the picture are Ann Alexander, Dorothy Allen, Jeanne Blakely, Mary Burnett, Florence Chorba, Jane Conoway, Thomas Cottrell, Don Cox, Janet Cox, Billy Davies, Jack Evers, Harry Ewing, Janet Fritz, June Gray, Shirley Haines, David Hall.

Senior Band OFFICERS President - - - TOM DEVILBISS Vice-President JOHN KEMPI-I Secretary - HENRY KIDDER Treasurer - - ROBERT FILLIEZ Director ---------- MR. CLARK UR band played the Whole year round. During the summer the band rehearsed several times each week and gave concerts on several occa- sions, the most important of which was its own ice-cream social. In the autumn the band was very active. It enacted an ingenious and absorbing role at every home football game. It also played at the Bryan-Central football game. During the football season the band worked the hardest. Members practiced in the mornings before school usually at the college field. During the winter the band played concert music and gave a concert in December. In the spring the band turned its attention to marching. It played and marched at a festival in Fremont, the peony festival in Van Wert, and its own festival held in Lima. One of the biggest events of the year was the fes- tival sponsored by the Northwestern Ohio Festival Association. Besides playing for these things, the band marched in numerous parades throughout the year. This year a new idea was initiated by the bandg it was lead by three drum- majors, a senior drum-major and two underclassmen. This year the underclass drum-majors were Peggy Curtiss and Bob Vandemarkg the senior drum-major was John Kemph. The four young gentlemen who carried the colors became essential to the band this year. They helped to form some of the difficult formations seen by all on the football field. Mr. C. O. Guy, business manager of the band, attends to all financial matters and is in charge of the uniforms. Our director, Mr. Clark, is to be congratulated upon an especially excellent year. -JOHN KEMPH ninety-four
