MUSIC OF MOON TOWNSHIP Music plays an important part in the activities of Moon Township High School. Some of its branches have been active here for many years and others have been newly added. The orchestra under the direction of Miss Dickson was present at many per- formances this year. Their ability was exercised at the Christmas program, the Senior play, Baccalaureate, and Commencement. Their presentation at the Spring Concert added much to their prestige. Four of the members, Hallie Iacobi, Deloress Heath, Gerald Gordon, and Eugene Herman were selected to play at the Music Festival at Neville School in May, together with boys and girls from other schools in this section. Two new instruments were added this year: the bass violin and a cello. With the capable supervision of Mr. Fritz, the band has come to the front this year. At football games the band made a spectacular sight in their red and white uniforms. The band has turned toward the popular music, and a concert was presented at which they played popular songs and marches. The pro- ceeds were used to help defray the cost of new hats. At the beginning of this year Moon's band was invited by the Coraopolis band to take part in the last of a series of summer concerts. It also appeared at a parade in Sewickley and at the Memorial Day exercises at the Sharon Presbyterian Church. Katherine Tesla succeeded Iohn Falbo as the Drum Major. The Senior High Girls' Chorus made appearances at some of the important events of the year, mainly the Spring Concert, Baccalaureate, and in assem- blies. Four of the girls, Georgia Caldwell, Dorothy Wilkinson, Dorothy Lottes, and Hazel McConnell traveled to Washington, Pennsylvania, in November to participate with 150 boys and girls in All Western Chorus. Twelve of this group have formed a small girls' ensemble and at the Spring Concert did a novelty as one of their selections. The Iunior High Boys' Glee Club, which meets at noon, has Monday as its day for singing. Proof of the boys' ability was displayed when they appeared as a vested choir in the Christmas program. Several times the Iunior High Boys' Glee Club and the Iunior High Girls' Chorus have combined to make a Mixed Chorus that sang for several events. It numbers thirty in all. A club that is fast becoming more popular is the Tonette Club. It is composed of Iunior High students and appeared at the Spring Concert and in assembly. As a grand finale for the music of Moon for the year '39-'40, all the organiza- tions combined on May 3 in their fourth annual Spring Concert. Page Twenty three
