The four representatives- cluesen were Stella Biesada, Robert Rugg, Helen Gates and Mildred Foley. Miss Potter, Mrs. Calkins and Miss Rix were the faculty members on this committeb. - Nihe had some very entertaining and educational assemblies. The Seventh grade presented a Hallowe'en play, William the' Great, a magician, entertained us, and there were several speakers. Mr. Viegle from the Rochester Business Institute talked on the 100952 man. Mr. Livingston, a neformed tramp, talked on the subject Where Is My Wandering Boy Tonight?'i We also had a very interesting talk about Venezuaela, by a former residfent of that country. In January Mr. Thompson called the committee together and asked each student representative to select another student from each room to assist. The new representatives were Marjorie Rouch, Lauretta Sheahen, Betty Maher and Betty Rooney with Miss Rix as our Faculty Chairman. Mr. Thompson had students conduct assemblies on Tuesdays for the purpose of making announcements and boosting school spirit. One assembly that the students enjoyed very much was a take4off on a faculty meeting by a group of students. The assembly committee is busy with plans to make its last assembly the most successful of the year. It will be the Parade of Fashions. As Walter VVinehell says, An Orchid to Mr. Thompson for initiating student conducted assemblies. Q lltiilJltlitJlOl0lCQ'7i0l0itQ Ditiitlivtlitliflithitff 29

THE ECI-I0 uliliiflillltllilillff Q lilbifili lliflilliilitliilltlii U ONTARIO HIGH SHOOL BAND By Eileen Vandewater Thomas Agnello Mary Downs Durwood Allen William Downs Andrew Beinscln-oth June Eisentrager Allan Brandt Emory Faulks Jean Brown Beth Foley - Mildred Brucker Mary E.

Its predecessor of a year previous had died a lingering death, more because it was an extra-curricular organization and not a recognized' school activity, than because of lack of interest. Our present band leader, Mr. Glenn Waldorf of YVOICOIT, New York, has trained the band one day each w-eck, conducting in- dividual practice during the day with groups of instruments, and a general rehearsal of the whole band after school. Under his direction, the organization has grown to the proportions of any other school activity with an importance equal to its status as a school adornment. The band made its first appearance' under Mr. Waldorf, Friday, April 13, 1934, in the High School' Auditorium. The first part of the concert was given over to our band while the latter part was composed ofnumbers presented by chosen players from Red Creek, Sodus, North Rose and Wolcott. The band proved its rapid progress that night and showed its importance later by bein.g allowed to enter the State Semi-Finals at Canandaigua, April 26. We were entered in Class D, the division set aside for newly organized bands. The band this year has paid for all its music by band dunes consisting of ten cents a week. Our band now boasts thirty-six members, more than half of whom were newly elected last year. We are justly proud of our band organiza- tion which has made steady progress under the direction of Mr. Waldor-f, whose untiring efforts in the interest of ihis pupils and their wlork has been such a stimulus to them.
