Band at football rally. The house lights dim, a hush falls over the audience, the usual pre-curtain thrill is felt by all. The overture begins and Mr. Lee Crabtree’s students are about to prove the merit of their combined effort in producing music far above the usua] secondary school caliber. Following the overture, the background music begins and our “Command Performance”’ is a reality. During the course of the show, we will hear our Boys’ Chorus, in which twenty-two boys combine their voices as one. Following this, the seventy girls in the Girls’ Chorus delight the listeners with their rendition of a well- rehearsed selection. Tech Chorale, a blending of fifty voices, proves that they have worked hard and succeed in demonstrating what mutual effort can create. It is then the turn of the Tech Choralette to add to our en- joyment. This group consists of seventeen specially “Mr. Music”’ himself. 18 selected mixed voices who represent and bring honors to Tech in many community programs. Quite apart from such an evening as the one described is the crisp fall day when forty-five students in black and orange uniforms strike up the Tech Band to marshal Tech rooters and put them solidly in back of our teams. The effort of this group has done much to inspire our teams, and every Tech student is proud of this music group which has provided the background music for our school life. The old adage, ‘“‘Music hath charms,”’ is well borne out by the musicians and singers at Tech. Mr. Lee Crab- tree, who is Mr. Music to us, deserves the most heartfelt thanks from all those who enjoy Tech activities.

In clothing, the girls are taught to make clothes for themselves, for little children, and for older people. These skills can always prove valuable in later life. Sewing can be taken in any of the three years at Tech. Food classes help girls to learn how to prepare a meal so that it will look inviting as well as appetizing. These classes teach girls not only how to make everyday foods look different, but how to cook those strange, exotic foods. A girl learns how to fit in all the basic required foods without making every meal seem like a health pro- gram. Foods can be taken in any of the three years at Tech. Classes in home management teach girls how to keep house. All girls want to know the fundamentals of how to make a budget, and even more important, how to keep within one. This class also helps to guide girls concern- ing the best foods to buy for the least amount of money, what clothes will be warmest, and hold their shape and keep their color longest. This class can be taken during any of the three years at Tech. Pattern drafting is the class in which girls design their own clothes. By designing their own clothes, the girls have a chance to show their originality. The girls in this class get the pleasure of drawing their own patterns, and then getting the thrill of seeing the object take shape by following their own directions. 17 Left to Right — standing — Mrs. Sambor, Miss Borrner, Mrs. © Whatley.
