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.

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.

Miller. Two debates were held with Bedford a nd Mitchell High Schools each, that year on the question: Resolved, that the principle of the chain store system is detrimental to the best interests of the American public. In 1931-1932 Miss Siegel took over the coaching of the teams pictured above. This year Salem High became a member of the State Debating League, and lost in the debate with Huntinghurg High School to represent this district. The question de¬ bated this year was: Resolved, that the several states should adopt a system of un¬ employment insurance. This year’s schedule was: February 4—Bedford aff. February 4—Salem aff. Ferruary 25—Huntinghurg aff. February 25—Salem aff.
