THE STATIC The Journalism Class published the school paper, the Static , under the supervision of Kenneth E. Amsberry. The Static which was originated fifteen years ago by Don Faris, is now published twice monthly on a liquid duplicator. Expenses are balanced by the selling of an average of two hundred subscriptions a year, as well as the adver- tising space which is sold to the local business firms. Its aimis to keep the community informed of school problems in the academic and activities fields. YOUR YEARBOOK The Journalism class voted unanimously to publish this Old Gold for your enjoy- ment. This is the third yearbook thathas been published by the Steamboat Rock School. It is not intended to be a money-making venture, but instead a catalogue of school events which will give to those out of school a better understanding of the school, and will give to those in the school, something to serve as a remembrance of their school- day pals and joys. THE MUSIC CONTEST The groups participating in the state preliminary contest this year were mixed chorus, girls' and boys' glee clubs, boys' quartet, and a solo by Jesse Knight. Of these, the boys' quartet and Jesse's solo won superior ratings, while the others finishedwith ex- cellent ratings. VOCAL CONCERTS Two vocal music concerts were held this year: one of sacred music and the other, our annual spring concert. Most of the numbers in the sacred concert were presented by the mixed chorus, whereas different groups were outstanding in the spring concert. GIRLS' GLEE CLUB The girls' glee club has been a very active group this year. .It rated an excellent at the music contest and in addition presented a beautiful reception for the ladies of the community during the year. It helped furnish the spark that enabled the mixed chorus to rate an excellent at the annual music contest. It, too,participated in the annual vocal concert. BOYS' GLEE CLUB This is a very small but talented group. Twelve members in all, but remember Mighty oaks from little acorns grow . It aided in the vocal concert, helped the girls with their reception, and furnished a quartet from its clan which was given a FIRST at the music contest. It, too, was awarded an excellent rating. It must be remember- ed also if it hadn't been for the fact that the boys were ready and willing to supply the bass notes in the mixed chorus that group would have fallen flat. OUR BAND Our band, after some discouraging years, has made a fine showing. Under the able direction of Milo Myers an organization has been developed that has captured the in- terest of the members and the admiration of the public. Our director emphasized music fundamentals and secured the co-operation of the members to such a degree that constant improvement throughout the year was realized. The hopes for a good band next year appear very bright, as only two members, Jim Potgeter and Fred Fol- kerts, graduate.
