Under our faithful manager, Rev. Wood, the band has increased in number until at the present time we have forty-two members. Although the band has just started it has made several public appearances playing for basket ball games and in concerts. We went to Delphos April 21 for the North Western Ohio Band contest, in which sixteen bands participated in competetive playing. The bands were divided into two grougs according to their age. Delphos won flrse in the older group, and we took first place in the younger group. Thus we are entitled to enter the State Band Contest at Columbus on May 19. We are expecting to make a very good showing at that time. There is a great future in store for the band and we are looking forward with high hopes to the oncoming year. To our director, Myron Pearce of Van Wert, we wish to express our gratitude for his tireless, unflinching service. Page Twenty-four

Boys Glee Club Work Aids Singers The Boys' Glee Club made a good showing in whatever it attempted during the year, the Operetta was an extraordinary success, and several of the members of the organization, aided by its training, won very high places in the Vocal Eisteddfod at Elida. We sang at several of the school programs and we feel, as the year draws to a close, that the training afforded us by being in the Glee Club has helped us im- measurable in learning the true value of good music. Miss Hursh was our instructor and our pianist was Mary Price, both of whom we are grateful to, for their splendid help and faithful services. Page Twenty-three

Juniors Successfully Present Speeding Along November 10, '33 CAST OF CHARACTERS Bobby Larrabee, the store-keeper at Larrabee Cove - Wuggins, an orphan adopted by Bobby - Charlie Dogberry, telegraph operator - Molly Malloy, reporter on the Sentinel Granny, Bobby's grandmother - - Paul Stevens, owner of speed boat, Flying Jack Curtis, a stranger ----- Mrs. Newcome, a guest of Paul Stevens - Angela, Mrs. Newcome's angel child - Vivian, her daughter ---- The Professor, fond of fishing - - Miss Lavina, fond of the Professor - Thornton Hathaway, owner of the speedboat, Speed King Cloud The play slipped into first gear right at the start with plucky Bobby,' Larrabee running a resort store to support her grandmother and Wuggins, and at the same time trying to prove that the Larrabee Motor for speed boats, the invention of her dead father, was the best of its kind. The play slid along into second when Paul Stevens, who entered a competing boat in the big race of' the year, tried at the same time to win Bobby's affections and to prevent her friend, Mr. Hathaway, from win- ning with the Larrabee Motor. And Paul's high-hat friends from the fashionable end of the lake made things move faster by snubbing Bobby and the folks of the Cove. And by the time the mysterious Jack, a fellow who lived like a tramp but acted like a gentleman, put in his hand, the play sped along in high at a great rate, throwing off huge waves of comedy and drama. During the rest of the play, the speed mounted and the complications thickened, until Bobby was left tied and gagged behind the counter of her store while the returns of the race began to come in over the radio. Things straightened out, however, and Bobby received her due reward as .lack turned out to be the son of Mr. Hathaway, whose boat won the race.
