CHORUS The chorus has been very fortunate in having Mr. Weldy as its director this year,his first in Naperville. Nevertheless, he has presented the group in concert on no less than five different occasions. At the High School Christmas program the Chorus furnished the musical setting for the tableau. It appeared before a large audience at the Naperville Youth Congress in Feb- ruary. The same month it sang before the junior and seniorhlgh school moth- ers. It presented anassembly program in Marchand concluded the year in May with its annual appearance at the High School Baccalaureate. The Chorus also journeyed to Elgin to sing in the annual Fox Valley Music Festival in the spring. ORCHESTRA Under the able direction of Mr. Robert McCabe, our orchestra has grovm from a mere handful of strings to an active organization whose instrumenta- tion is constantly increasing. So far this year, our public appearances have been limited to playing for the Christmas takileau, but our plans include assembly programs, in both high school and grade schools, and we may participate in the Commencement week doings .

K BAND Both First and Second Bands in N.H.S. are organizations that are hard to ignore. If you're not a. member yourself, perhaps a brother or sister is, or you've been brovrbeaten into buying a ticket to their annual concert at which both bands perform. You may have been an accompanist for one of them at their solo recitals, and you ca.n't have missed seeing them marching in the Homecoming and Memorial Day parades. And who can forget First Ba.nd's fancy antics on the football field? Then too, there are the assemblies they've put on, and First Band's trip to the Fox Valley Music Festival. Of course none of this would be possible with out the efforts of the well-liked band- master, Mr. Elmer Koerner, whose jokes lighten ma.ny a practice session. One must graduate from Second Band before he is eligible for First Band membership. The First Band practises the first three days afthe week during the sixth hour. The Second Band rehearses at the same time on Thursdays and Fridays. The officers of the First Band are James Lyon, presidentg Dick Schloerb, vice-presidentg a.nd Eldora. Frederickson, secretary-treasurer.
