JUNl0R'SENl0R RECEPTIUN The Juniors and Seniors had looked for' ward to the month of April especially be' cause of one activity, the Junior-Senior Ref ceptiong however this being war times any' thing can happen. On March 6th the jun' iors suddenly awakened to the fact that it would be best to have it in March. For two weeks we had been very curious and very obliging to the juniors. We hated to do it, but since the Juniors had sent out wild rumors about Chicago, Indianapf olis and Cincinnati, curiosity got the best of us. On March 31st at 12:45 noon, the Juniors, Seniors and teachers left for what we thot was Indianapolis. Since we were headed east, that guess was out. After traveling thru Richmond, it became apparent that we were headed for Dayton, much to our surf prise. Some of the places suggested by the Jun- iors to go see were Dayton Waterworks, Frigidaire Division of General Motors Cor' poration, LoosefWiles Biscuit Company, Dayton Daily News, Patterson Field, Wright Field, Radio Station WHIO, Sac' red Heart Catholic Church, and Newcom Tavern. On account of several factors our tour was limited to three or four places. After this we were really hungry and ready for dinner at the Miami Hotel. Up until now we didn't know whether to expect a hamburger joint or the best hotel in town. It turned out to be nearer the last. Soon after dinner the juniors escorted us to Station WHIO for a broadcast. After en- joying this we started back to New Lis' bon. Page 'T'wentyfSu

It resumed rehearsals the third week in Sep' tember, 1943, with a new leader, Mrs. Marguerite Crawford. It now consists of twenty members and several more with various instruments who will soon enter. On November 12, 1943, the orchestra pre- sented Music In the Air, a threefact comedy play and concert in the school gym- nasium. The proceeds were used to buy music and other material for the organizaf tion. The students have worked hard and have furnished -music for the Junior and Senior plays, the USO Program and Comf mencement. After the progress of the past two years nothing but success could be expected. A lot of credit should go to the two leaders, who have worked so diligently, and the co' operation of the members. GLEE CLUB Twenty'two students responded to Miss Shroyer's invitation for those interested in a choral music adventure. There was a slight increase in number over last yearg moreover some of the voices had matured greatly during the summer vacation so we looked forward to a very successful year of harmonizing. Very early in the year we lost a talented member of the bass section, Charles Hall. Later another dependable bass, Roy Breneman, moved away, leaving Page Twe11tyfSeven us twenty members and the pianist, Doris Breneman. Our main activities for the year included special numbers at the annual Thanksgiving program, a double quartet number sung at church during the Christ' IDRS season, a quartet number at the Or' chectra Concert, girls chorus number at the USO program in March, Chorus program at the Ashland P. T. A. meeting in March and special numbers by the chorus at New Lisbon Church on April 2.
