THE CHRONICLE 55 BAND The newly formed school band, or- ganized and directed by our principal, Mr. Bryant C. Bean, is composed of musicians from West Paris and Paris High Schools. Monday afternoon re- hearsals are held alternately at the two schools. Band ofiicers are Annette Card, head majoretteg Richard MacGown, Presi- dent, Robert Martin, secretaryg Margar- et Perham, treasurer, Nancy Kelleher and Franklyn Stone, librarians. Organized in October, the band made a first appearance at the pep rally and bonfire preceding the final Norway-Par- is football game. At this game the band added color and interest by par- ading at halftime and forming the ini- tials of the opposing schools. To mark the opening of the basket- ball season the band gave an exhibi- tion at both the West Paris gym and the armory. Concerts were given at a meeting of the Lions' Club and the February P. T. A. meeting. Band folios have been pur- chased to hold the newly acquired marches and overtures. The band is looking forward with great anticipation to attending the Western Maine Music Festival in the spring. There, dressed in their new uni- forms, they will meet musical groups from other schools. ORCHESTRA The orchestra meets for rehearsals every Friday noon in the music room, where many a pleasant hour is spent struggling with waltzes, marches, and old favorites under the careful and un- tiring direction of Mrs. Helen B. Shaw, who has been music supervisor in the years. at the Paris schools for thirty-three Chenille letter will be awarded end of the year to those who have faith- fully attended practice. This year we have added a new instru- ment, the trombone, played by Priscilla Buttertield and Merwin Lary.

We enjoy the new piano that has been installed in the auditorium through the efforts of the P. T. A. New folios have been purchased to hold the mus- ic, which before had a vague way of disappearing.

The orchestra annually provides mu- sic for the Junior play, Senior play, and the graduation exercises.
