Mumbling voices and shuffling feet are silenced. The house lights go out. The packed auditorium of Nordhoff students awaits the coming assembly as the orchestra strikes up the overture. Once again, Nordhoff's musical element takes over. Under Mr. Kaiser's direction, the orchestra sparkled assemblies, particularly the Thanksgiving program which was their first performance of the year. As is customary, the group furnished the music for the junior and Senior plays and graduation exercises. Some orchestra members pooled talents to form the sprightly band which played at this season's football games. The lads and lasses, in addition to bouying rooters' spirits, gave sprightly accompaniment to the actions of the Pom Pom girls and the girls' drill team.

From this auspicious start, the group performed with distinction at many of the school assemblies capping their efforts at graduation exercises. Advisor Mr. Kaiser also arranged outside activities for the Ranger songsters. Enter- taining the Lions Club and other local business and fraternal organizations were typical examples of this out-of-school endeavor. The chorus included students from both Senior and junior High sections.
