--- THE GUSHER -+-- . MUSIC CONCERTS The music concerts given by the joint musical organizations have for several years given two concerts and an operetta or light opera each year. On February 6 of this year, the music department gave one of the most delightful concerts ever given in Casper. The program was made up of glee club mem- bers, selections by the various quartettes, and by the orchestra. The final number, 'lThe Mexican Serenade, by Chadwich was sung by the combined clubs-over two hundred students taking part. This was a splendid climax for the evening for the picture presented by the students was delightful to look upon, and the excellent singing in harmony and with the artistic interpre- tation left the audience wishing for 'moref' On March 14, the students chosen from the glee clubs for the cast and chorus, presented the operetta, VVhen Carries Comes to College, a Musical Comedy by Clark. A'Carrie Comes to College was a snappy, modern operetta,, a true picture of collcge days in 1930. The high school orchestra, directed by Mr. Kelly Walsll, assisted the glee clubs in making this one of the most enjoyable music programs of the year. The story of the operetta was an old one, picturing Carrie, a sweet young girl who wins the heart of a campus sheik when visiting her mother, who ran a college boarding house.

MICKLEWAITE Coach Dean Micklewaite came to us last year from Jefferson High School, Portland, Oregon, where he was coach of football a11d junior League basketball. His first year the Casper Mustangs won the State Title. This was the first time that Casper had ever held claim to the State Championship in football, and the first time in six years that the Mustangs has scalped the VVorland XVarriors. The Mustangs began their training a week early this year, due to the Coach's efforts. He sponsored a football camp at Camp Carey, the first ever for the Mustangs. This put the gridsters one week ahead of all state opponents. This year Coach was responsible for the training tables at the cafeteria. Here a well balanced meal, arranged by Mrs. Seibers, was given the football men. VVith a world of material for next year, we predict a great season for Micklewaite's gridsters. WALTER OLIVER Walter Oliver comes to us from Greybull, VVyoming, where he was assistant coach in charge of the backfield men. This year Mr. Oliver has assisted Coach Micklewaite, helping to build up a high powered backfield to carry the Mustang offensive. 2F'WK7' GEORGE HEISER George Heiser is the student manager for athletic contests. George has handled his work very capably and is just as valuable to the team as one of the players. FOOTBALL SEASON The Mustang football training period began a week before school. A training camp was established at Camp Carey, where Coach Micklewaite trained the boys in the basic fundamentals of football. The boys enjoyed at least one swim a day. With the beginning of school many more fellows came out for football. At the end of the first week there were sixty boys in uniform. Coach Micklefwaite had charge of part while Assstiant Coach Oliver took charge of the rest. The players were blessed with an open fall so that rapid improvement was possible. Manager Heiser was always on the job in many capacities. During the training period the boys had a systematic schedule and excellent discipline was maintained throughout the season. The Mustangs opened their season September 28, with a snappy game with Lander. The weather was fine, resulting in a large group of townspeople and students being present. The Mustangs romped away with the game to the tune of 32-0. 1 9 3 0 Twenty-eight
