 May, me, mi, mo, moo, and on up the scale go the song- birds. This and songs of a more serious nature issue bi-weekly from the auditorium during the sixth period. Giving a few per- formances for the high school and later preparing for the annual Music Festival in May make ours a full program. Under Miss Nepp's leadership, the period is one of true pleasure. We love to sing.

If you should happen in the auditorium during a sixth period, you would hear music ranging from a concert C scale to a symphonetta. Mr. Gall's capable direction lends inspiration while the small group of en- thusiastics practice diligently. The performances this season have included chapel programs, graduation exercises and a pageant presented at a teacher's conference. Much time was spent in preparing for the All-State Concert. Outstanding, too, was the orchestra section of our Riverhead Annual Spring Festival. Marching along together, the Band played publicly the first week of school. With little time to organize, they entered the parade preceding the Fireman's Bazaar. Soon home football games were enlivened by the cheery breeziness of their music; and cheerleaders, baton twirlers and enthusiastic R. H. S. crowds backed their enthusiasm. The year brought practice, chapel programs, the Spring Festival and, for some, the All-State Concert. Mid-year time the band experi- enced a paradox ; it was sorry to say good-bye to Mr. Gall, but glad to welcome Mr. Hovey.

LIBRARY CLUB The Library Club members help Miss Pinkham alphabetize the books, advertise all new books, file cards in the card catalog and shelve returned books. Beyond their usual line of work, they gave a novel assembly program of charades illustrating titles of books. MODERN DANCE Have you heard the Modern Danc- ers consoling one another about their aching muscles? They are the most zealous group of any of the gymnas- tic classes. In barefeet and shorts they bend, turn and struggle, trying vali- antly to achieve an esthetic effect. There is, however, a note of triumph in their after class groans, for the majority will have mastered a new flip. How do they do it? BATON TWIRLERS We are proud to have these smart- ly dressed girls leading our band at the football games and other school activities. Their peppy antics and gay attitudes lead the band in a lively game of follow the leader. Such skill! How do they do it?
