Junior Operetta The Rainbow Trail, an operetta given by the music department, was a success, owing to the cooperation of the directors and students. It was well directed by Mr. li. S. Day and Mr. F. VV. Schmidt. The tine music, interesting plot and complete stage setting greatly added to the success of the play. We hope that next year the music department will again be able to present another of these tine musical productions. The following people had title roles in the operetta: Mary Allison. Florence Bazzoli, Herbert Clutter. Donald Clutter, Verner Gayvert, Robert Jet'- fers, Martha Keys, Dorothy Mustard, Anne Murphy, Edna Riley, Ross VVatson, Albert Wilson. -Axxl-3 Mciufnv Band The Music Department for the first time in the history of the school has a full time instructor, Mr. Frederick VV. Schmidt. Although considerably handicapped by a lack of funds and instru- ments he has organized a band that has gained a definite place in all of our assemblies. The group has increased in number as well as in playing ability, and judging from the pep it contributed to our basketball QZIIIIOS, it should furnish lnuch inspiration to next year's football team. At the present Mr. Schmidt is conducting a beginners class which will no doubt form the nucleus of a future band. A concert orchestra was organized which has played for several entertainments at Trinity. The music department has enjoyed a successful year, but we feel tl1at next year under Mr. Schmidt's direction, we will have a bigger and better year. eeLo1ns GAnnoNls Girls' Chorus The girls' chorus is rapidly developing. This year we have partici- pated in lnany important events among which were a radio program, assembly program, operetta and a Christmas program. We are look- ing forward to a few church programs and the commencement season. Florence Bazzoli and Martha Keys represented Trinity at the vocal contest held at Burgettstown, March 28. -f-lViAllGAltli'l' S'rr:NnoUs1-3, Accoznpfuzfst and Sl'f'I'FllllI !1 Boys' Chorus This year Trinity has an organized bov's chorus under tl1e direction of a full time instructor. Mr. Frederick VV. Schmidt. This organization has had a very busy and successful year. During the fall we took part in the Junior Operetta, gave a Christmas program in assembly and gave a radio broadcast. Verner Gayvert represented the vocal depart- ment, and Homer Shaw and Sidney Hoffman, the band, in the XVash- ington County Music contest. Margaret Stenhouse was piano soloist. These members were accolnpanied by lVIargaret Stenhouse. The interest in boys' music is growing and the work should prove more popular next year. -ellolsERT .llf:.1f1fERs, Aer-o1nprl111'st and Secretary t19l
