MR. THOMAS, INSTRUCTOR I Orchestra Our school orchestra started four years ago under the direction of Prof. Ossman. In our first two years many were interested but few participated. The orchestra furnished entertainment for school plays and other school activities. Due to the resignation of Prof. Ossman, Mr. Thomas undertook the directing of our orchestra. We feel the next years were well spent because more interest was taken and more players wer added to our number. This year we and our faithful leader showed much interest and progress. We played for P. T. A. Meetings, School Plays, Chapel Programs, Farmers Institute, and other activities. The Arlington Band also directed by Prof. Thomas, favored us by helping en- tertain the people at the Farmers Institute. On March 15, we journeyed to Liberty where we played at the literary program. Not always did the entire orchestra furnish the entertainment, but various members entertained with solos, trios or in large groups. Thursday at 10:30 was our appointed time for orchestra practice. We practiced for 45 minutes in the auditorium and everyone entering the building could hear beau- tiful music such as Military Escort, Harbor of Dreams, Home on the Range, Now the Day Is Over, and other marches and waltzes. This year we shall lose a large number of our group: Marsella Reese, Burnette Powell, Norman King, Don Clymer, and Richard Moyer. We are sorry to see them go for we will miss their fine playing. We feel that a great deal of our progress and success was due to these players who so faithfully participated, but we hope to gain many more to take their places. There are sixteen in our group this year they are as follows: Norman King ....,......,.......,,.,,......... First trumpet Don Clymer--- .,.........

Trophies Pupils entering the lower hall will notice the new trophy case which was made by the Manual Training Class under the direction of Mr. Rothhar. This case is filled with Mt. Cory's collection of trophies which amounts to eleven. This collection was started in the years 1925-26 when Mt. Cory received two trophies, one was obtained for winning the Hancock oratorical contest, and the other was won by the girls in the county tournament. In the year 1926 the boys added another trophy to the collection by winning the Hancock county track meet, making a total collec- tion of three. In the years 1926-27 a group of pupils from the grades obtained our fourth trophy by winning the County Grade Contest. Participants in this contest were Grover Crites, Sara Moyer, Angeline Lee, Marguerite King, Livona Harris, Edmund Hummon, Evelyn Boobring, Kenneth Wise, Joe Swank, Vera Billings, and Mary Louise Whisler. Two other trophies were won in the same year, namely, the girls basketball conference and the county debate. In the next three years the girls showed their ability to play basketball by winning the girls county championship and also the foul shooting contest at Find- lay college. In the years 1931-32, the basketball boys won both the league championship and the tournament making us a total collection of ten trophies. The last trophy was won in the year 1934 by the football boys. This was the first trophy won in foot- fall but we all know it shall not be the last. Athletic Banquet The March meeting of the P. T.
