Death closes all; but something ere the end, Orchestra and Band The high school orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Teachout, has added two new instruments, the bass clarinet purchased near the close of school last yeai, and the alto clarinet bought this year. With these additions and the old stand-bys, they have furnished music for nearly all the assemblies and the Junior and the Senior Class Plays. The woodwind quartet made up of Christine Jones, Ruth Jane Walters, Jeanne Philley, and Dorothy Cook, and all members of the orchestra, entered the music contest held at Alliance, Ohio, April 5. Joe Dickey, accompanied by Joyce Holdson, also entered, playing a trumpet solo. The “Pep Band” played at the home basketball games this year, helping to cheer our team on to victory.

The A Cappella Choir The Rowe High A Cappella Choir has again completed a successful year of hard work. The choir, composed of 36 members, 17 of which were added this year, was directed by Mrs. Alma Tailing Wellman. Many appointments were filled, including those at assemblies and P. T. A. meetings. At Ashtabula, Springfield and Conncaut they sang at church services while appearances were also made at Jefferson and Geneva. The highlight of the year was the trip to Kent March 21, where they participated in the district contest. Here they received a rating of “excellent,” the highest given to any chorus competing in this group. The winning of this rating made them eligible to enter the State contest at Columbus, April 18, where they again came through with flying colors. Gold pins in the shape of lyres were presented to all the Junior members and to those Seniors who had joined this year. The other Seniors had received similar pins last year. THE MESSIAH A large and appreciative audience attended the performance of the well-known Christmas oratorio “The Messiah,” written by George Frederick Handel, and held December 14, 1940 in the Rowe High School auditorium. The combined music department, consisting of the Girls Glee Club, the Boys’ Glee Club, the Girls’ Chorus, and the A Cappella Choir participated in it. This is the first time that a piesentation of this kind has ever been given at our school and it was received with great acclaim by music critics in this vicinity. Guest soloists from out of town were featured. The alto and bass soloists, Miss Ida Mae Kaiser and Lyman Bodman were from Oberhn C onservatory and Miss Helena Strassburger, the director of the music department at Andrews School, Willoughby, was the soprano soloist. The pianist for the occasion, Miss Evelyn Smith was also a student at the Conservatory.

Some work of noble note, may yet be done. Math Club The great mathematicians of Rowe High have formed a club to study trigonometry under the capable direction of Miss Marguerite Tobin. The members have finally succeeded in working a few of these problems by great brain work and struggling. No officers were elected this year to head these great geniuses. MATH CLUB Hear row — John Uinia-talne. Hoy Frank, Edward Stephenson, Miss Tobin. Hirst How—Raymond Kos-tura. Vaughn Herbrl, Roland Flsch, Edward Powell, Edward Titus. I'HOTOtdtArin CLUB Standing — Junior Ashby, Edward Powell. Kneeling - Duane Reach, Paul Whipple, Mr. Curie. Tom Schlaich, R land Fisch. Ca mera Club Click! There they are again. It’s the members of the Camera Club peeking around the corners snapping pictures of anyone they can catch. The club is sponsored by Mr. Curie and has seven camera-crazy members. The officers are: Jack Culbertson, president; secretary and treasurer, Duane Beach. There are only about four formal meetings held a year by the club. At the other meetings they meet the first and third Monday in every month in the dark room where they develop and print pictures. The boys are able to pay for the film and other equipment they use, by developing and printing pictures for the students. The snapshots used in the Annual are the work of the club. Pretty good, too, don’t youthink? 30
