Usherettes were the girls in evidence at junior and senior class plays and concerts dur- ing the school year. These were the maidens who were sometimes forced to grow tough in the matter of wrong seats and misplaced tickets, and who performed a difficult, essential, and sometimes unpleasant job with grace and good humor. These hardworking lassies are, in the back row, Dorothy Jarvis, Zayna Kindt, Betty Bowen, Julia Gibson and Jean Hale; in the front row, Mildred Oliver, Fannie Echols, Miss Meyers, Chloe Zella Sandefur and Patty Teeple. Here are the toilers who dig the trenches over which others rush to glory. They make the heroine gorgeous and the villain ruffianly, the hero handsome, and the other woman” evilly beautiful. They clamper along the gridiron ' and manipulate the curtains behind the bowing actors. They are the unknown soldiers of P. H. S.'s dramadom—and this their only monument. Martyrs shown, in the back row, Bill Lynch, Buddy Sands, Carl Koontz, Jack Thompson, Jim Cox, Howard Brown, Ted Flanagan, and Mr. Cox. In the front row are Dorothy Jarvis, Margaret Cooper, Rosemary Vallely, Flora Johnson, and Elizabeth Grijalva.

Here's a group of faithful musicians who trudged faithfully to school each Monday and Wednesday mornings in the wee small hours, while the stars were shining and the moon was still giving iorth its silvery glow, so that Prescott High School could have the best. Despite the temporary death of northern Arizona's music festival, our orchestra, as did all P. H. S. major music organizations, remained very much alive. The group played for the junior and senior plays, student assemblies, and special concerts. Mr. Backe warbles every part in the orchestra. If and when any individuals are having trouble, he obligingly sings or whistles their parts for them. Combining talents resembling those of the golden-voiced Lily Pons, Jeannette MacDonald, and Kate Smith ,these three girls have offered flawless harmony as the girls' trio. Joining to present fine entertainment were Betty Hayes, first soprano; Harriet Smith, second soprano; and Georgette Neighbor, alto. Their singing was al- ways enjoyed in whatever they might perform.
