Why every time any ol' us hears that band do its stuff we swell with pride to think that M. H. S. has turned out such a perfect musical pgroup. Each of those fellows and girls deserves a medal. 'Could we have gotten to school at ti:30? Some ol' us couldn't, because it's all we can do to get here by 8:15. Yet these members of the band dill it. And not only once but often. So 1et's give them those three hearty cheers!

Take a bow, Mr. Jorgensen, and not only you, but all the members oi' the organization. I say take a bow because all of you have worked hard and long to make the orchestra what it is, and I congratulate you because you've done a swell job of it.

Here again Mr. Holcombe acts as supervisor and leads this choir of mixed voices through to a brilliant finish. This is another vocal group, this time one in which both boys and girls participate, though sometimes the boys are conspicuous by their absence. This group works very hard and sings very well. After you have heard them you are left a little awed. You know, the breath has sort of left you, and your spine feels a little chilly. Some of the more solemn songs sung by them would bring tears to the eyes of the meanest old dragon alive. Come on A Cappella! I'm sure that every person in this high school appreciates you and gives you heaps of encouragement to live in the future as well as you have in the past. Boys' Glee Club J. Merton Holcombe, Edythe Tither, Jane Miller, First Row-John Gano, Bruce Goldman, Richard Wright, Dale Doty, Harold Duda, Bill Smith, Jake Sternbaughm, Henry Rayburn, l-larry Weaver, Nick Mavomatis, George Miller, Doa Mabrey. Se:-and Row-fAllen Cline, Fredric Troll, Wilton Morkel, Arthur Axtell, Rudolph Perry, Frederirk lianson, John Strut:-li. Third Row-Bill Wygant, Maxwell Miller, Paul Davis, Forest Marlow. As you have gathered from the name, this is a boys' vocal group and is again in the hands of the much overworked Mr. Holcombe. The singing done by this group is exceedingly good, as some of you remembered from a program in which they participated a year ago last Christmas. Their vocalizing was indeed pleasant to the ears and everyone had praise for the boys who thus made the age-old Christmas songs live anew. So 1et's all give these fellows a hand for the excellent work they have done and will continue to do in the future.

Boo-th and .Sound System Operators Booth Operators: Adam Burnhardl, Steve Karnavas, James Pfahler, Edward Art, Richard Underwood- Denzel Srhanf. Sound System Operators: Frank Mowery, Frank Ladd, Chris Winegzirdner, Richard Thorpe. The boys of the group deserve a lot of credit, for they operate the sound system for all our morning' an- nouncements and the music for the noon dances on Fridays. Not only do they operate the sound system, but under the supervision of Mr. Oberlander, they installed it. Therefore I think all of us should take our hats off to those boys, for we would not have this decided advantage without the cooperation of these operators. Colored Hi-Y Charles Jarrett, Willie Watkins, Calvin Harper, Robert Black, Joe Logan. l-Iowurd Blossomgame, George Blhbs, Love Jacobs. Mose Eubanks, Allen Cline, Fred Atwater, William Ferguson, Samuel Davls. The Hi Y has set apart a clulb, or division, a division for the colored boys. They have as yet no advisor, but hope to get one in the near future. As all the rest of the clubs, they have the purpose-to maintain, create, and extend Christian character throughout the community.
