BOYS' BASKET BALL TEAM

the first place there are the pianists, Ruth Semmel and Leota Newhard being the present ones. The piano has suffered some since these indi- viduals are in the group, for Miss Semmel is a second Paderewski and various maneuvers are gone th-ru' in the rendering of her part. Miss Newhard fails to watch her notes, as she is continually watching the cute fellows in the audience and the discords fill the auditorium. N-ext come the violinists. f'Dan Kocher, Harold Shoemaker, Lewis Meixler, Gladys Newhard, joseph Kivert, Arthur VVolf, Jacob Kas- lovsky, Ralph Bartholomew. Harold Frey and Bertha Miller. All these consider themselves the best and each one tries to see who can make the most noise. Imagine the result yourself. Then we have the clar- ionet players, jacob Sheetz and George Schissler, the former who con- tinually puts spit into his instrument and makes more noise than music. The cornet players, Earl Hawk and Steph-en Zapp, are pretty good in their blowing but the latter one mentioned is never sure of a note and when he feels he is right he is apt to try and make himself heard above all the rest. VVe also have a trombone player who drowns the other instruments to such an extent that noth-ing else can be heard. VVith all these members and instruments it is probable that the Cr- chestra will continue to uphold its reputation and w-ill make a hit everywhere. D,xN11a1. TCOCHER, 1915. O VOCAL MUSIC A E feel that we are fortunate in having so large a number of students vitally interested in the subject of Vocal Music. Especially are we proud of our G-irls' Glee Club, which has made several public appearances during the year. and sung in a very creditable manner. The Class of 1915 has done very much to make the High School mnsic a success. So talented a class in this line were they, that they themselves furnished all the vocal music for their commencement exer- cises. Nearly half of this class are represented in church choirs in the community, which fact speaks highly for their keen interest in vocal music. 'We feel proud of the large mnnber of boys in High School whose voices are developing beautifully, and who will, no doubt. add much to the happiness of many a future home. AMY M.

Q. Sli! , - x XXX ll B I 4 WWF ! Tl-TLETICS opened up this season with a noise like some-A tning worth while. In former years High School could not boast of very much in the line of Athletics, but this year there was a base-hall team and a basket-bal-l team that were worth the space they take up in this Book. The floor in the George VVolf Building which was not completed until late in February, was the cause of a great deal of delay, so that the team only played five games this year. And those with very little practice. The first game with the Allentown Commercial School in which our boys appeared in hrand new suits, was represented by the follow- ing line-up, which played all of the regular gZ1l'I'lCS. Shafer F Deily F Farber C lCapt.j Schissler G Hess G These men played like veterans winning the fracas to the tune of I7-13. f'Our first victoryl. The Alumni thought they could take us into camp, so on the 22nd ,31-
