This group of thirty.four seamen, under the able direction of Pilot Goheen, does much to keep up the spirit of the ship. At Pep assemblies, athletic games, and the annual Jamboree before the first football game of the season, the band is always there doing its share to cheer the team to victory. Besides these activities, this organization presented its Bam! Frolir in january. This uro tram consisted of band numbers and a la' in the Fo'cas'le followed b' dancin on l . , l . the uarter-deck. The nroceeds were used for a 'in Y ex enses and bu in t new music. 'l l S- S- Our ship is represented over KMO and KVI where the band has its own special program, and also in intermediate schools and clubs where concerts are given. Seamen who do not have their own instruments and are musically inclined are fur- nished with instruments and given the opportunity to play in the band. Richard Leven. hagen is chairman of atiairs and Myrtle Erb, librarian. Marshall Murray was librarian last semester, Junior Band HE Junior Band was re-organized this year with twenty-three seamen under the direction of Pilot Twila Kendall. The group meets every day the second period and drills on the fundamentals of band work. To make the work more interesting, and give inspiration to succeed, there is competition between seamen for possession of chairs. That seaman who has the most instrumental ability and shows the most interest in his work receives the first chair, and is the first one eligible for entrance into the senior group. At present five trumpets, six clarinets, six saxophones, three bass, one trombone, and two drummers constitute the group. 5SL'l'L'!lfc'UIl

Senior Orchestra LTHOUGH the crow's nest may seem overcrowded with a total of forty.four active members, Lincoln may still be said to possess one of the flnest orchestras it has ever had. Under the careful piloting of Mrs. Margaret Rawson Goheen, our ship's musicians have brought us through another year of entertaining and interesting assemblies. They played for the senior class play, the annual opera, the Christmas cantata, and to climax the year as a musical success, Commencement. Our seamen-musicians constitute an organization which, with its share of the opera proceeds, makes additions to its library, buys new instruments, and repairs old ones. Because of the lack of sulhcient funds to carry on their work aboard ship, the orchestra had one hundred dollars appropriated to them by the School Board. This capable group has been able to arrive at a successful rendition of several dilh- cult overtures, suites, and operatic selections such as Slrzmzzir Dance, Stradella Orerizzre. and Funeral Marrlv of a Mariofzelle. unior Orchestra as J , O reach the highest we must first begin at the lowest. And the only way to get into the Senior orchestra is first to prepare and train as beginners in the junior orches- tra. Along with preparing for bigger things and learning new music, a half credit is given, thus offering a valuable opportunity to any one interested. The fourth period of each day is spent in practicing scales, counting time, and learning to follow the baton. At present the orchestra has two trumpets, one clarinet, five bass viols, two cellos, and twelve violins. Sixteen 3

Boys, Glee Club EPRESENTATIVE of the work done by the boys' glee club this year were the out- standing numbers from the opera Mademoiselle Moaliffe, such as Mez.rcot of the Troop featuring the soldiers, Ivan Russell's The Time The Phzre am! the Girly and Earl An- derson's Ze Efzglirh Lmzgzzage. The club, composed of fifty-six voices met three days of the week and donated its services freely for any assemblies, radio programs, or other entertainments on board. Some occasions at which they sang are the Commencement exercises, P.-T. A. programs, and Back to School Night. Wihlef' Sang, Song of India, Bellr of Saint Marylr, Deep River, are only a few of their repertoire numbers. Although some of their music was a bit didicult, the boys worked together joyously. During the last part of this semester experiments were made with combinations of quartets within the clubg and one, consisting of Ivan Russell and Earl Anderson, tenors, Jimmie Traver and Larry Yount, basses, was arranged. This group assisted by a quartet from the girls' glee club sang on various radio programs. The best singers of the club were chosen for opera choruses, and all male leads were selected from this group. Pianists for this musical class of seamen were Gene Stacey and Frances Kenny. Their training in harmony has made the club with its fine voices into an excellent group of singers. However, the greatest part of the success of the club is due to the capable direction of Mrs. Goheen whose efforts bring forth even better results each year. Eighteen i
