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

Home Economics Demonstration From January 15-18, 1934, Trinity High was represented among many other schools at the State Farm Product show at lflarrisburg, IDCIHI- sylvania. As before, Hickory joined with Trinity on the trip, the two buses staying within sight ot' each other. The trip was lnade by way ol' the NVilliam Penn Highway, returning by way of Gettysburg and ltoute Forty. Those girls representing the Home Economics Department ol' Trinity were Florence Bazzoli, Martha Keys tJuniorsJ, and Nellie Swartzfiger tSophomoreJ. It so happened that tl1e latter, who has recently an- nounced her marriage, was at the time married to Nelson Morgan, a graduate ot' the class of '33 and a winner ot' one ol' the projects in the Agricultural Department. Thus the trip provided an enjoyable honey- lll0Oll. CUIlfll11l?ll on Page 26 Tire Junior Paper The Model T was the name chosen hy the .lunior class l'or this year's newspaper. Since this was a money-making scheme, we mimeo- graphed the paper ourselves and thus saved the cost ol' printing it. The range ot' subjects for our paper was wide and the majority ot' the con- tributions were made by the .Juniors. The outstanding features were Matt Bash's Campus Gossip , Mikesell's Cartoon Page, the Popularity Contest, and the tirst semester Honor Roll. The last issue ole' the Model T was devoted to the Senior class. The staif, chosen by the literary critic, Miss Martin, and the class advisors, Miss Kiblinger and Mr. Hallam, cooperated with the remainder ol' the Junior class to make the three publications ot' the paper a success. -Loolsiz LiaNAssi The Librarians The small library ot' 1930 has become one ot' the valuable assets of our school. In the four years, it has increased until now we have nearly fifteen hundred books, and we hope it will continue to grow next year. The reserve books are much used l'or reference reading assigned in various classes while the fiction shell' meets the demand for leisure reading. Our greatest handicap is lack of space for books--or for those who wish to use the library. But, in spite of these handicaps, we try to make the library serve the school as etticiently as possible. Contimlerl on Page 27 Traffic Corps WVith the growth ot' Trinity it became necessary for law and order to be maintained throughout the halls. To do away with the congestion and tl1e confusion, a body ot' able minded as well as able bodied boys were appointed to control the outbursts of enthusiasm on the part ot' the pupils. The Seniors begin tl1e new school year by teaching the Freshmen the code ot' the halls. This is a very tedious job but the Freslnnen learn willingly and soon they are more easily handled than the upper class- men. At the end ol' the tirstesemester this tradition is handed down to the next generation, commonly designated as the Juniors. These posi- tions ot' honor are given to capable Juniors who perform their tasks admirably. -JAMES GREENw.x1.'r AND P1.xvx1oNo SUMNISY 11201
