Led by our tall Drum Major, lrving Reid, the Band again played for a triumphant football season and marched, under the direction of Mr. Harland L. Pin- ney. in the various local parades. At the combined concert of the Band and Orchestra, the Band, accom- panied in two numbers by a selected choir group, played commendably, as agreed by all who attended. The manager of this industrious organization was Roger Schacklinsckyg the secretary, Gordon Nichols: the librarian, Don Simong and the treasurer, Richard Fastiggi. The Orchestra, in addition to playing at our weekly assemblies and class plays, joined with the Band to give an excellent concert on March 18th. Under the skillful leadership of Mr. Pinney, the Orchestra ren- dered many intricate numbers, with several fine solos. The officers for this year were Irving Reid, president: Gordon Nichols, vice-presidentg Greta Mayer, secre- tary, and Anthony Fosella, librarian. Our instrumental organizations have done an inspir- ing job this year. Part of the credit goes to their conductor, and part to the close attention, hard Work and intense interest on the part of all the members. Marching Band 5 I s.

Colwell Conklin, it is surely one of the best. Organized one year ago, it has been in great demand at school, singing in several assembly programs. The quartet has also been a featured at- The Male Ensemble has really sung superbly this year. Under the capable direction of Mr. Conklin, these boys have participated in two assembly pro- grams and in the Glee Club Concert with great suc- cess. For the concert they sang three extremely varied numbers: The Iolly Roger, a sea chantyg Keep in the Middle of the Roadf' a Negro spiritual, and The Musical Trust, a humorous selection. Always, the Male Ensemble seems to have been one of our most popular musical groups, though it has few members. This year was no exception, be- cause the boys rehearsed very conscientiously to make it even better than ever. Our Mixed Ensemble should receive much credit for its exemplary performance. Included in its pro- gram of both songs and dances were While Strolling Through the Park One Day, You Was, and It Only Happens When I Dance With Youf' The girl Meliodiers wore costumes which they had made, consisting of bright red skirts and white cotton blouses with large black bows. Many thanks must be given to Mr. Conklin for his capable direction of this group. This year the Girls, Ensemble gave a delightful per- formance as the result of Mr. Conklin's splendid di- rection and much hard work on the part of the girls. They sang and danced to such songs as April Show- ers and It's a Grand Night for Singingf' Known as The Showerettesf' the group wore beautiful lav- ender ballerina dresses. Sue van Noppen was accom- panist, and Ada Pat Dodrill did an excellent job as choreographer. traction at many school dances and has performed on WGNR, the local FM station. Everyone looked forward to hearing the fellows at the annual Glee Club concert, where they lived up to advance notices by superlative renditions of Stout Hearted Men, and Goofus. The quartet consisted of Iim Shader, Irving Reid, Neil MacLellan, and Iolly Woodbridge, with Bill Hold- ing lending valuable help at the piano. 27
