The Choir as a whole has partici- pated in many programs this year. Special groups from the Choir sang an Armistice Day program and selections from well-known operettas at two Lions Club meetings. During the C h r i s t ri a s season a double quarteite sang Christmas carols for a P.-T. A. study group, and some oi the Choir members carolled through- out Speedway. On the l7th of Decem- ber the Choir gave a Christmas Cantata at the Christian Church, and the follow- ing week they presented the same pro- gram at a school convocation. The Choir went to Warren Central on March 27th to participate in the County Musical Festival. ln the latter part oi April they presented an evening concert at the East Park Methodist Church. On May 4th, all the singing groups oi Speedway met and gave a Spring Festival Choral Concert in the high school gym. The school Chorus was organized in 1942 by Miss Starkey, but since that time its name has been changed to the high school Choir, and several mem- bers have been added. Our Choir is certainly worthy of our pride in it.

Jli-02 The Hi-C's were first organized in 1939 by Kate Humphreys, Bob Als- meyer, and Bob Hoerger. Mr. Northcott directed them at their first public per- formance, but after that they were on their own. The orchestra then consisted of Kate Humphreys, Bob Alsmeyer, Bob Hoerger, Al Webb, Dick jennings, Marion Baxter, Novella Northcott, and Marcy Mann. They played for school dances, a Plainfield Iunior-Senior Reception, and for the C.Y.O. dances held at St. Chris- topher's Church. Later on in the same year B. Hoerger and B. Alsmeyer built the Hi-C stands which are in use today. The Hi-C's as we know them now consist of Iiin Nay, Catherine Meden- wald, Bob Hanen, Bob Huber, Bob Har- rah, jim Kelley, Ioyce Armstrong, jack Ganzerniller, and Patsy Heaton. They, too, are under their own supervision. This year they have played for the Third Annual F.B.T. Hop, a Mason's Craft Dance, and a dance held during a convocation. They also went to Tom- linson Hall to play for the Teen-Age Canteen. They each have the ambi- tion to join a top-flight band. Let's hope they succeed! Cn October 24h the juniors pre- sented The Bight Mr. 'Wrightf' This group of actors worked very hard to make this play the success it was- they even met for rehearsals on Sun- day afternoons. The cast was as follows: Goldie Going .....c.c..c............... lane Wagle Mrs. Warren Wainwright .... loan Mason Paula Pennington ............ L'Marie Kettery Carol Carbaugh .................. loan Gaddis Lucille Lovejoy ........ ........ N orma King Harriett Harper .................... Clona Basch Wayne W'right ,,,,,.,...........c....... lim Kelley Mr. Warren Wainwright.,Albert Wagner Lucious Lovejoy ...................... Bill Cramer Clinton Carbaugh ................ Glenn Amos Walter Webb ..........,......... Eugene Tsareff Concheta Carmen ........ Anna Thompson The name of the play was enough to confuse you, but during the play it- self Mr. Wayne Wright became con- fused with Mr. Wainwright. This wasn't enough-the plot became thicker by the addition of a jealous wife, a honey- mooning' couple, and a torch singer. Mrs. Crawford acted as director for this group. In appreciation of her serv- ices, before the curtain parted the class gave her an orchid, and between the 2nd and 3rd acts the class president presented her with a sterling silver compact.
