Our capable director, Miss Hursh, has patiently worked with us. Our officers: President, Marjorie Miller, Vice President, Dwight Becker, Secretary, Mary Doughty, and Reporter, Wesley Sowards, have served us well. We played for many High School activities and other events.

Boys Receive Valuable Training In September the Boys' Glee Club, under the direction of Miss Hursh, started out to achieve a reputation of which they could feel proud. Margaret Reynolds was the pianist. In February the Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs presented the operetta And It Rainedu. In this they gained a good reputation. It was directed by Miss Hursh and Miss Reiner. They also took part in the Allen County Festival and in the Northwestern Ohio Graded Festival in which they received the rating of good. Let us hope that they will continue to improve so that each succeeding year we may say that they have reached heights never before attained. Page twenty-three 1 1

Band Continues Splendid Work At our first band meeting .50 members signed on the dotted line and began to practice for the band. Under our talented leader, Mr. Pearce, we prepared a con- cert which was given in the high school auditorium. On February 16 we broad- casted over station WOWO in Ft. Wayne. On Easter Sunday we presented a con- cert at Lima for the inmates of the State Criminal Insane Asylum. Here we were iirst rigged up in our new uniforms. To finish up the year we attended a band festival in Van Wert, Ohio, on May 3 and 4. Here we gave a concert under the direction of Henry Fillmore. We look with regret to the loss of our Senior mem- bers, but we wish them lots of luck and hope we may have another successful year in '35-'36.
