For basketball games, special events, pro¬ grams, etc., the band is always ready to furnish appropriate music. A good band is an important factor in athletic contests; it adds pep and school spirit,—and here is a good band. The uniforms of black capes with silk gold lining, black caps trimmed in gold, black sweaters and white trousers or skirts make a striking appearance. During the year three concerts were given before the school and general public. It seems too that the band has played a more important part of the school life this year than previously. Without a doubt there is more interest at the present in musical organizations than there has been for some time. It seems almost the truth that, “A rich child is poor without musical training.” Ralph C. Miller has been our very capable director for the past five years.

Vocational Agriculture Club The Vocational Agriculture Club members are farm boys regularly enrolled in the vocational agiculture classes. The club was organized in 1924 and has grown to an annual membership of forty boys. The work of the club is varied. It has sponsored an egg show, apple show, community programs devoted to rural interests, thrift club, and 4H club work. Early in the summer many of the boys with Mr. Branaman visited Purdue University and experimental farms for a few days. The Grist, the club paper, is published annually to exemplify the work of the department. Alvin Maudlin . President Kenneth Barrett . Director Raymond Clark ... Vice-President Gerald Myers .

This was the first anniversary of the orchestra as a school organization and it was proclaimed by all to have a very good start. By the untiring efforts of Mr. Dropsey, the orches¬ tra became easily capable of entering the District contest held at Rising Sun, April 23. Practically all types of music were used in the orchestra. The lighter waltzes and foxtrots had their place along with the heavier marches and overtures. Every member became warmly enthusiastic and thoroughly enjoyed the work assigned to him. Most of the members were fresh¬ men or sophomores, with a few from grade school who played regularly with the orchestra; so we see a very promising future before us. The program of improvement is being earnestly pursued, and the oncoming years should see further developments.
