BAND AND ORCHESTRA Lois Merritt, ' 51 THIS yeav. under the sup rvisioIl of Mr. Alpert. both the band and orchestra have continued to show improvement. The band in particular has increased in both the number and the perform- ance of its players. At football games the band was really spec- tacular marching down the field headed by five peppy drum majorettes. In addition to perform- ing at all the home games, the band played at three out-of-town football games. The band has performed at several other im- portant events this year. The Christmas assembly would not have been complete without the band to provide the music. At the Jamboree in Plv- mouth, our band was one of the largest and best. The band played several selections at the annual concert on May 5. The orchestra, which has been increasing also, has played at many assemblies during the year. Barbara Cole attended the New England Music Festival held at West Springfield, Mass. After graduation the band and orchestra will lose one trumpet player, one trombone player, and two violin players. Fortunately both or- ganizations will gain new members from the Junior High. This spring a whole troupe of drum majorettes is expected to be organized. The band and orchestra are both verv impor- tant organizations of Scituate High.

7 ALL-SCHOOL PLAY Barbara Cole, ' 50 ' On a bicycle built for two. ' The lilting, gay tune of this song came floating from the Scituate High School Auditorium on November 18, the night of our All-School Play. A chorus of girls dressed in old-fashioned clothes sang this song along with several other old tunes in our pro- duction, Gay Nineties Fun. Included in the program were the Barber Shop Quartet, consist- ing of Robert Snow. Thomas Snow, Elliott Bar- rett and Arthur Daneau. and the Beauty Shop Quartet made up of Charmaine Witt. Joan Kettell. Fannie Whorf and Ida Vespaziani. Little Joseph Oliver of the Junior High presented a tap dance specialty. Ruth LaVange, Robert Lee, Charmaine Witt, Bruce Wyman, Robert Burbank and Carol Stearns were cast in a melodrama. Love Will Win. or The Villain Outwitted. Remember Bob as the notorious villain and Carol, his fellow conspirator? Stage manager Ronald Duval and prompter Barbara Cole assisted the cast. A square-dance was then presented, with the set tired but happy at the finish. A short skit, with George Mitchell, Neil Murphy. Glenn Wilder. Donald Jenney and Kenneth Roberts, called Watch-Fob Minstrels was presented with Priscilla Merritt prompting. Last but not least came The Four Little Dunces ' — Arnold Bow- ker, Lee Carpenter, Thomas Smith and Teddy Timpany to sing T Love Geography.
