could thnnk of Tha was to take her on the trnp over tne ranftbow wnth me as soon as the rann stopped fallnng To find our happnness nn the pot of gold Marne and I obtanned reservatnons on the flynng saucer We had been nn the anr only a few mnnutes and we were watchnng the beautnful colors of the rannbow speed by w en I decided I wanted a better vnew so I walked toward the front of the flying saucer I overheard Joyce Braun explann sarcastucally I thnnk that whoever sees the gold first should have nt She was well equnpped wnth struments for detectnng gold and a panr of field glasses You see Joyces fiance Mortnmer the mnllnonanre deserted her at the altar and she dndnt know where her next penny was comnng from As I strolled to the back of the flying saucer I found Ann separated from the

look for the pot of gold and happiness but from the look on her face she dndn t need much more happnness She called her manager and asked nf she could go and as he stepped out we were amazed to see Dnck Corrngan After talknng to hnm awhnle he told u of hns plans for movnng to the moon and startnng a cheese factory I told hnm to come along wnth us and not have to work agann As we proceeded on our

The French Horn Quartet received a First Division rating, Our saxophone soloist, Eleanor Salisbury, received a First Division rating. Six remaining ensembles and soloists received Second Division ratings. The Tonica Band has seen many changes this past year. One of the most im- portant, as it affects us at the high school, is a different band room. We now have the room that formerly was the Ag room and this is much better suited to our needs. Our band is expanding. In addition to the advanced band there is a Begin- ner s Band the members of which are not quite ready to enter the advanced band and also a grade school band which is preparing for its 'first contest. Fourth grade students make up a Tonette Band which is a good foundation for future band work The Band Board is active in formulating the band policy They have also written a constitution which has been approved and adopted by the band Our long awaited bass clarinet finally was purchased and one of the saxophonists took over She is doing a fine lob and has added much to the band At the time of this writing the school is fairly resounding with quartets ensembles and solos practicing for the District Contest in Streator on March 31 We hope tha this year we will see more honors and words of praise brought to our school by a fine band and we truly appreciate the kindness and consideration shown to us by our faculty the board of education and our town CHORUS For the first time in a number of years our high school an now boast of ha Jing a mixed chorus We made our first public appearance at our Christmas Concert which was very favorably received We have a girls sextet and a girls quartet preparing for contest work in addition to several solo number in vocal work Mr Arthur Halcyon and Arlene and ideas from there that have proven to be of much value to us T , . . are now members of the VanderCook Glee Club, They have brought new methods 3UCD'UDUlflUl,'ffl'2D'flDffffillll I I 35559999U,UD5U,'U'lD'fl,'U'UU'f,SFUSD!
