“In sweet music is such art: THE MIXED CHOIR LIKE THEIRS ' COUNTRY STYLE” The mixed choir has learned many delightful numbers this year. Lo, How a Rose ’Ere Blooming and The Lord's Prayer, are well-liked, but sung most enthusiastically is Make Mine Country Style. The full Mixed Choir plans to sing in the New York State Music Association contest in the Spring. In addition, several members will prepare solos which also will be judged. Well under way. Getting started.

TWIRLERS LEAD OFF! Brrrr! There were plenty of times at football games when our twirlers nearly froze to death. Nevertheless, their stiff fingers kept those slippery sticks in line even though such difficult exhibitions as dirgles, windmills, and back-bends. Be- sides pepping up the half times with lively, enjoyable num- bers, the twirlers perform at the annual band concert in March. Just to make sure Riverhead keeps its reputation for having fine twirlers, the girls are teaching a new crop of freshmen many of their tricks.

Is fit for treasons; stratagems and spoils' BAND MEMBERS HAVE HAD A BUSY YEAR Say, what's that old tin can cover you have pinned to your shirt? Tin can! Why this is a platinum and gold medal!” To members of the All Thirteen Club, their medals are platinum and gold, for they represent hours of practicing. The band has accomplished a great deal this year. Specta- tors at football games enjoyed clever patterns and peppy marches. In March the annual band concert gave the public another opportunity to see the good work our band has been doing.

THE BOYS JOIN IN Nay, now you are too flat, and mar the concord with too harsh a descant. Too bad, boys, but try again. We enjoy hearing the fellows sing in our assembly programs and in the spring concert. The members, under the direction of Mr. Mac- Donald, meet the seventh period on Mon- days when they rehearse their own numbers and those to be sung with the Mixed Choir. Killing care and grief of heart” SONG LIKE A ROSE SHOULD BE; EACH RHYME A PETAL SWEET” Each year the girls wear their prettiest gowns to perform at the spring concert. Here, to the best of their ability, they fulfill Mr. Shakespeare's qualifications mentioned above. In practice periods the girls smooth out the rough passages in the Mixed Choir music. Mr. MacDonald plans soon to form an acapella choir of twenty voices.
