Chorus April 13th and 14th the chorus presented the operetta Meet Arizona under the direction of Miss Beggs. The story concerned a dude ranch which was temporarily without an owner due to the death of Colonel Blair. Argument about ownership came when Lettie, the Colonel's niece, and Larry, who was like the Colonel's own son, both thought they should get the ranch. Of course, love added to the plot. The chief characters were as follows: Letiie, Alice Hornigg Larry Ben- son, Carl Nunnarig Aunt Lavina, Hazel Firleg Emily, Doris Swearmang Rennie, Don Pollock. The entire chorus was in the operetta as cowboys, dudines, and Mexicans. Dance Band One of the most active organizations of M. H. S. is the dance band,: our own M. H. S. Music Masters. They provide much pleasant listening and dancing at those Friday night dances and other special occasions when requested. This organization consists of sixteen instrumentalists and three vocalists and is under the supervision of Mr. Sassaman. One big assign- ment undertaken by the Music Masters this year was to provide the music for the Maple Queen elimination contest in Somerset. These people do a great job and deserve many thanks and much credit. 46

Home Economics Club The Home Economics Club under the supervision of Mrs. Reich did very outstanding work this year. A member of the Home Economics Club, Peggy Kimble, was elected second vice president of the state. The Home Economics girls also attended the State Farm Show at Harrisburg at which time Virginia Bittner and Gladys Korns won second prize for their cake baking. The Home Economics girls served banquets, sold hot dogs at the foot- ball and basketball games, sold plastic articles, greeting cards, and also sponsored a dance as their projects for raising money. Future Farmers of America Our boys in the blue jackets advanced through another year of F. F. A. piling success on success as they used projects galore to mark up their achievements. One of our F. F. A.'s top rated projects was the trip to the Pennsylvania Farm Show. Two of our club's members, Harold Crissinger and William Knieriem received their Keystone State Farming degrees-the highest in the state F. F. A. organization. The smell of pine trees entered every class room near Christmas time as the Vocational Agriculture boys started another successful project- selling Christmas trees to the townspeople of Meyersdale. Another pro- ject-another success. Mr. Darrah is the F. F. A.'s adviser. 48
