C. A. A. AND CDVEJITAS PLAY AND PERFGRM E Ovejitas are proud of our organization. We started off this year with a bang and have made conspicuous progress ever since. We chose Pauline Kimmel as our leader and organized our- selves tor the first time this year. We even receive activity points now. To call our infrequent business meetings to order, we elected Dorothy Anny as our recorder of minutes, we chose Esther Lou: and to keep the treasury well filled, we elected lune. We could be found at almost every home basketball game in our White gym suits and purple bands. We even drilled for Findlay in their gym. Quite often we yelled about having to practice for our drills, but we all agree it was well worth it and down deep we loved it. Oh yes, we did our patri- otic bit during the March of Dimes. We sold tags and made our goal and then some! Our G. A. A. has been successful too. Our mem- bership was large and all our meetings were well represented. lune was unanimously elected presi- dentg Dorothea, vice-presidentg Alice, secretary: and Iackie, treasurer. Phyllis was appointed as recorder of activity points. In organized groups We played . 5 V Somethinq new has been added. Page 26 4 P. J .- we Phiddy. Iune. Iuckie. Dorothea. and Alice Dorothy Ann.

We had loads of fun at the Taylorville Play Day. lt gave us an inspiration for a Play Day of our own, and we did give a successful one in the spring. In May, along with the Oveiitas, we demonstrated our ability at stunts, drill- ing, baton twirling, and several other tricks in a P. E. Program put on especially for the public. The high light of the evening was the distribution of the G. A. A. awards won throughout the year. Our activities have been one long parade this year and loads of fun.

Ct-IORUSES AND BAND PLEASE AND INSPIRE USlC! Singing! f-low we enjoy it! Much improvement could be noted in our chorus work this year with tha addition of an all boys' chorus, with plenty of good singers from little Bali Phegley to big Coochey Richardson. We also have two girls' choruses. The third hour chorus consists of only eleven girls, but this doesn't lower the quality of their singing. Before class begins, these girls can be seen taking their morning exercises to get warmed up. The first hour girls' chorus has more meinbers than the third hour chorus. 'When they are all dressed in their pastel skirts and sweaters ready for a performance, they are really worth seeing. ln February we gave a musical pro- gram for the public which was so sucf cessful that even the local churches asked for songs from the chorus. We have made good progress under the able direction of Miss Fraser. Then came the operetta, And lt Raine ed , with a splendid cast and a lusty group of singers to back them up. We had fun at practice, but we did plenty of hard work before the final perform- ance. We shall probably sing for the gradua- tion exercises. Since quite a few of the seniors are in the choruses this year, this program will be their farewell to us all, but we'll see the rest of you next year. Twice weekly groups of students could be seen walking leisurely to the band room, playing loudly on their instruments. Band practice was soon in full swing! We are proud of our band. They gave us a finished performance one day in the assembly. We would like to have more programs of that kind. Page 28
