At the beginning of the year we began to think of ways of which we could earn money to buy gowns. We have a great start, and we hope to have them next year. One of the main events of the year was the Christmas Cantata, which was put on very successfully. Throughout the year, we sang at assemblies, and our first appearance of the year was at the F.F.A. Fair. One afternoon we gave a tea for our mothers and friends The Glee Club, band and grades sponsored a program for the benefit of the Glee Club. The quartet, composed of Dorothy Otto, Barbara Spike, Alice Klein, and Ethel Spike sang at various places. All in all we had a very successful year and hope that next year will be the same. Our earnings for the season were approximate ly 865 . The Methodist Church and St. Paul Church kindly loaned us their robes for the graduation exercises and for this picture.

BAND CON'T. The Saline Band earned a fine trophy at the Michigan State Fair, Detroit, Michigan. The band played the finale at the State Fair, and were judged the best band for its classification. Noted musical critics judged the band to dis- play excellent cooperation, fine morale, fine intonation, and general effects. The band at the beginning of school had accumulated enough earnings to pur- chase five new uniforms, a new sousaphone, a mellophone, a baritone saxophone, and a set of glookenspiel or orchestra bells. Considering the gradual develop- ment of the band and its increasing personnel the only cost for the tax payers has been for music. The cost of uniforms, instruments, and equipment has been by way of gifts, earnings of the band, and by individuals within the band. During the Christmas vacation the Saline Band was requested to perform at the Michigan Theater, Ann Arbor, Michigan. The band thrilled the audience with Michigan College marches. Following that engagement, the band was engaged to perform at the Weurth Theater, Ypsilanti, Michigan where it again did a marvelous job of entertaining a theater audience. It is the aim and objective of the band to serve the people of Saline, the school, and the community. swf!! X 'I 5 , 'X :ws X., I. kts R

For the first time in its history, the Homemaking Club has this year shown itself to be one of the most active organizations in the entire school. When the club was organized in the fall of 1941, a definite program was set up that provided for the work to be done during the year. The first venture scheduled on the program was the F.F.A. Fair in which the Homemaking Club always plays a large part. The Club was able to make money by running the food booth at this fair. Three very successful parties have been held and enjoyed by the club members this year. The first party was a supper and treasure hunt which proved to be most exciting. The Christmas party was especially enjoyable because of the beautiful tree and gifts for everyone. The F.F.A. boys and Homemaking girls held a joint party to enjoy a full evening of dancing and games. The greatest achievement of the season was the Third Annual Style Show, pre- sented with great success by the Homemaking girls. The audience was taken on an imaginary shopping tour in which the girls displayed their garments. The theme for the tea, held immediately after the style show, was based on St. Patr1ck's Day, green and white being the colors used for the table. The backbone of any country is dependent upon its homes. The future home makers of America are ready and willing to make this backbone stronger than ever before!
