.SPRING FESTIVAL Every year in the spring the Music department presents a program of varied music for our entertainment. This year the program was divided into three parts. The first six grades presented a very colorful oper- etta, Wfeter Rabbitn with many groups singing and perform- ing drills etc, during the acts. As a direct contrast to this performance the Cirl's Glee Club sang the religious work, nThe Little Disciplen. Ending the program was a short and very amusing minstrel presented by the Boy's Glee Club. We aren't sure who enjoyed this minstrel more, the audience or the boys who presented it. The program ended with much laughter and applause climaxing a very successful evening. COMMUNITY PARTIES A new and successful organization this year has been the Conm nity Get-Togethers. The purpose of this organi- zation is to bring about a better understanding between the parents and teachers and to encourage more friendly relation- ships in the entire community. . The president of this undertaking, Mr. Clyde Forry,has worked hard to make these parties profitable. These meet- ings are held the first Monday night of each month with the men and women alternating the task of planning the enter- tainment. Each program is divided into the business session touching any problem or suggestion that may come up concer- ning the community's interest in the school, a short enter- taining.pro5ram, games or some form of reoreetion.'and the serving of refreshments. THE HALLOWEEN PARTY On November 2, a Halloween party was held in the school gym. As we first came to the party there were in- dividual games around the gym for us to play while the rest of the crowd was coming. After everyone had arrived we play- ed stveral group games and then went on a Wtreasure huntn. It was too bad that all of us couldn't have found the trea- sure because it was several delicious candy bars. We re- turned to the school and square danced for awhile and than topped off the evening with some very welcome refreshments. S

CHRISTMAS PROGRAM This year just at Christmas time our school was visited by that unwelcome visitor, the Nflu bugn. Since many of our characters vwere ill with the flu and school was closed 'the week before Christmas, our Christmas operetta, nThe,Legendtf the Snowmann was given after Christmas vacation on January 1 The operetta was a success inspite of the difficulties in presenting it. The main characters were: John, a very self- ish boy, Johnny Forry, Mary, his unselfish sister, Jeannie Parker, a poor news boy, Gail Buckley and the snow man, Don Loudenslager. The other students from the first six grades made up the other Wgroupn characters. Music between acts was presented'by'theCirls' and Boys' Glee Clubs, the group of twelve girls, and the1nixed.ensemble THE CARNIVAL The pupils of the music department under the direction of Mrs. Hoover conducted a carnival November 14 maraisenmney to help in buying band uniforms. Committees were appointed to take charge of different concessions such as the ring toss, weight guessing, a fish pond, fortune telling, etc. Also a queen was chosen for the Carnival. Anyone was entitled to vote for 'hg51'favorite contestant.' Those competing were Jacqueline Harris, Dorotha Jean Fetter, June Fox, Lois Saxton, Dorothy Herbert, and Norma Christiansen. At ten o'c1ock Dorotha Jean Fetter was the lucky one to be crowned as queen. A cafeteria lunch was served by the parents of the band members which started at six o'clock and lasted until all concessions were closed. A few cakes, pies and other dishes were left which were auctioned off to the highest bidder by Mr. Harrington. ' The crowd of people that came and went during the eve- ning.seemed to enjoy the food, and concessions and the eve- ning also netted a tidy sum of money for the music treasury toward the buying of band uniforms.
