l935 SMITHONIAN Band Last fall after a week of trying to End a time to have band practice Mr. Beckes decided to hold regular rehearsals at noon. We were somewhat crippled by the graduation of last year's seniors. With the aid of several outsiders we played for the Fair. We played for the home football games during the fall and also for the home basket-ball games this winter. During the year the band put on and helped to put on several chapel programs. About the last of February eighteen new members were added to our number. With the aid of the School Board we added two more Basses, two Baritones and an Oboe to the band. These along with the addition of Clarinets and Saxa- phones have helped to balance the Band. Up to this time the reed and bass sections were weak. The Band Mothers worked hard and faithfully all winter in order to buy new suits to have the entire band outfitted for our contest this spring. This contest was held in Toronto this year. This is the fourth year that our Band has competed in the contest. The first two years we placed fourth in our class. The third year we moved up to third place and this year we came home with the second place cup. Next year we are planning on bringing home the cup for first place. The day of the contest was a beautiful spring clay and everyone had zz good time. Toronto had made complete plans for the day and everything went along smoothly. Our band also made a nice showing in the marching contest held in the afternoon. Our new members seem to have helped the band a great deal with their presence. The Band is going to play for commencement this year instead of the Orchestra so for the remainder ofthe year that will be our main object. T451

-9k SMITHONIANY, , ' C1935 The 1935 Glee Club A successful climax to a successful year. Such is the verdict of those who have heard the performances of the l93-L35 Glee Club under thc direction of Miss Lucille Fowler. But no one had doubted that such would be the case when Miss Fowler was appointed vocal music director in the Smithfield schools. Her very capable work as music coach in the grade school during the past few years had already proven her ability. And so a large group of applicants for the Glee Club met in the music room in September knowing that if accepted, they would be members of a worth while organization. At the end of a few weeks the club included approx- imately forty girls and twenty-five boys. During the year the Glee Club sang at several Church Meetings, at Farm- ers Institute, and twice at Chapel, they also gave a half hour minstrel, an evening concert and an operetta. A special group of sixteen members sang in Steubenville in the spring at the County Music Festival. Ly: fp leigh,-f ' FIRST ROW: Sara Moore, R. Reynnrd, G. Reynard, J. Chaney, C. lfanchini, D.
