Carry on as Usual has been the motto of the band this year. There has been no lack of interest and enthusiasm of the band members . . . the enrollment has had a higher percentage of the student body participating than in any other year . . ., Needless to say, the male sections were con¬ spicuous by their absence . . . the instrumentation has been complete and well balanced, enabling the band to play the usual high quality music and to maintain its musical standards of the past . . . The reading of new material that will be useful to the high school band director has been one of the principle projects of the year . . . An assembly program was presented to the student body, at which time the first movement of Beethoven ' s Fifth Symphony with it V . . . —for victory theme was the featured number. In spite of adverse conditions, the chorus has had a bang up year.. The. singing of Christmas Carols at the faculty sponsored Christmas Tea was one of the highlights of the year. Another was the singing of the National Hymn of Costa Rica at the assembly arranged in honor of our good-will student from Costa Rica, Maria Elena Hidalgo. The chorus acted as the spark plug for one of Prof. R. E. Valentine ' s most successful group singing programs in assembly. The Boys ' Sextette sang at the night meeting sponsored by the College Inter-denominational Council With Bernice Schott as accompanist and Mr. Valentine wielding the baton, the meetings at four p. m. on Mondays and Wednesdays are regular pep rallies for those interested in singing, sight reading and all that goes with chorus work. 28
