BAND AND ORCHESTRA Dl'R band which consists of thirty members has had a very successful year under the direction of Nfr. -lensen. There are eight beginners in the class who play violins, accordions and saxophones. hlembers of the class concentrated on numbers for the Spring Concert instead of entering contests. Included in the Spring Concert were the following numbers given by members of band and orchestra: Several instrumental trios and duets, four marches, three waltzes and two characteristic pieces. One of the activities which was greatly enjoyed by all was participation in the pep band which played at the athletic functions. This group also played at several entertainments given at the high school. This year the band bought sweaters to wear while playing. These were red and black with large emblems. The group ended the year by playing for the Commencement Exercises. Next year they will probably surprise everyone by playing even better than they did this year. GLEE CLUB Giillgl-Ili Clee Clubs under the direction of Mr. Deacon have enjoyed singing together and have worked toward the presentation of several numbers which were given in public. Although the group has not performed very often as a whole, several indi- viduals have shown remarkable ability in trio, quartette, and solo numbers. Lorna Brannon, Carol Brannon and Isobel Swigert were much in demand for trio numbers for programs. Bob Kerns and Norman Kellison were two very well liked soloists. The Spring Concert was the most important public performance of the year. At this concert the group sang: ulndian Dawn, Green Cathedraln and 'SPale in the Amber West. During the year the group also practiced singing: Friend O' Kline, f'Ciribiribin,v and Shortnin' Bread. The year was closed with the group singing Friend O' Minev at the Com- mencement Exercises.

L eonard Thompson 66 HE Gentleman From Hong Kongf' a thrilling mystery play, was pre- sented by the Mossyrock senior class on December 18. The moonlight scenes were very effective, and the interior was one of the best yet. X In the first act many mysterious persons come and go. June Montgomery has a secret formula in her home. Many come to help her find the formula, Boyd Garner, the actor included. Others came for the sole purpose of finding the formula for themselves. Lights on and off! Mysterious and weird noises! Silent figures gliding softly in and out! Gun fire breaking the silence of the night! Everyone suspects everybody else. All have ac-ted suspiciously, even the stuttring and comical maid, Sophia Shedd. Ke Yung always keeps his eyes open and has the reputation of a cautious thinker. In the last act the crooks are discovered by Ke Yung, who turns out to be a detective story writer. He is assisted by Benita Byron of the Secret Service. The unsuspected gypsy girl, the Russian spy, Ricardo Revell and the supposed sheriff, Tompkins, were the crooks. All of this was topped off with the spice and gaiety of the newspaper reporter, Elin joy. Captain Henderson takes the captured ones away and the final curtain falls on a successful mystery comedy.
