Newton High School - Railroader Yearbook (Newton, KS)

From the first roll of the drums and ring of trumpets as the Newton High School Band marches on the football field to the last strains of the Newton High School Orchestra at commencement, the Department of Instrumental Music, under the direction of E. S. Sanderson, has con- tributed much to our high school activities. A football game has never really begun until the gold and black clad band mem- bers play the lively marches which spur C214 on the crowd and team. School spirit is roused at a basketball game when the skillful baton of Mr. Sanderson exacts a rhythmic beat, as the band along with the cheerleaders leads the crowd in the singing of The Ilailroader Song. During the academic year, the band, in the fall, journeys to the State Fair at Hutchinson where they perform before the crowds. The band and orchestra also participate in the High School Christmas Programs . l , , A a Y '. , ,UK vb,-, AF' F Page Nflnetwri i v,

Gfzclzestfza The 84-piece Newton High School Orchestra has also contributed much in the way of musical enjoyment to students and townspeople. The orchestra is always heard before the curtains open on a school play or operetta. This year the orchestra played before and during intermission when Down In The Valleyf' t'Seven- teenth Summer, The Little Dog Laughed, and A Murder Has Been Arranged were presented. In the spring, the instrumental de- partment gives two p1'ograms: An Instru- mental Spring Concert, and a concert ot the musical numbers that were played at the Music Festival, from which many hon- ors are always brought home. Newton High School students should be proud of their excellent opportunity for musical training. 5' Page Ezglnfen

Glam Wanting to sing is the major requisite for being a member of the Newton High School Chorus. Tryouts are given at the beginning of the first semester to those who have signed-up for this elective. As the singing Railroaders develop power, rhythm is heard above the engine hum and the chorus mechanics, 61 fnon- unionb members, fill the car from tender to baggage, being directed by John D. Davidson. Engineer Davidson also directs the Girl's Glee Club, Boy's Glee Club, Madrigals and other various ensembles. Traveling on the right track, the double header Chorus and Girl's Glee Club put full steam ahead in presenting a Christmas program comprised of Christ- mas melodies and Fred Waring's 'Twas the Night Before Christmas. A timely spring concert was also giv- en. This featured vocal numbers taken from supply section of Spring Festival ar- rangements where many honors were accredited to this department. Students can be proud of the knowledge, experience and good times their music department provided.
