This has been rather a busy year in music. We started off with a bang by getting ready to give a Christmas Cantata. This Cantata was given at the Ottawa Auditorium, December 18, and was done very nicely. At this time grades l through 6 gave an op- eretta called At The Court of Santa Claus This program took a bit of time and patience from our new music director, Miss Ogle, whom we are very happy to have with us. We have a large mixed chorus this year that has been working very much on different num- bers. We have also a girls sextet and mixed octet that went to Bowling Green. Both brought home superior ratings. Printing by THE GRAY PRINTING CO. Fostoria, Ohio There were also two persons who sang solos, Edward Kersh, who received a superior rating, and Sally Pierman, who received an excellent rating. We all were very proud of these groups. Edward Kersh, the sextet, and the octet en- tered into state competition at Columbus, on April 9. We were all sure that if they would sing the way they were capable of singing they would come home from there also with superior ratings. Ask any member of the group how they came out when they met the best from all over the state. At the time of this writing we do not know. We now know: the octet rated superior, in Columbus, and the sextet, Excellent. Ed rated Excellent. Photography by STARTS STUDIO 43

P eggy Reed Miss Denny .... While Mr. and Mrs. Meredith are out of tovm, their daughters, Kay and Iudy, are left in charge of Bessie, the Meredith housekeeper. Unex- pectedly, Madeline Boss, a disturbingly attrac- tive girl, arrives for a visit. Both Kay and her churn Lois Andrews, are uneasy as to how Madeline's charms will affect their boy friends Steve and Torn. Kay, determined that the boys shall not meet Madeline, refuses to attend the concert. Lois frames the excuse, by telling Steve that Kay is to have a business interview with a certain Dud- ley Harvard Smith. Steve is openly suspicious. When Miss Denny, the high school history 42 . . . .Dorothy Croy teacher, learns that Mr. Dudley Harvard Smith is visiting Kay, she discloses the electrifying fact that he is a noted historian and has un- doubtedly arrived to award Kay a prize for her essay on Americanism. Miss Denny announces that the band will cancel their concert and will instead give a party at the Meredith home in honor of Mr. Smith. Kay wildly attempts to keep Madeline out of sight: and events seem to prove that the strange man-who now refuses to leave the house-is an escaped convict from a hospital for the in- sane-but he isn't.
