This was the tuning up routine heard at every rehearsal of the University High School Mixed Chorus. Under the direction of Dr. H. XV Peithman, the chorus presented several excellent programs during the year. On Sunday. january 14, a musical program was presented. During the first part of the program, the chorus sang a group of songsg Audrey Brust and Betty Mallory were the vocal soloists. Carlton Gamer then played an original com, position on the piano. The outstanding feature of the afternoon was the presentation by the thorus ol' the cantata. The Great Assembly Line. This was one of the most out- standing performances ot' the year. Another cantata, presented later in the year, also re- teived well-deserved praise. The chorus sang lor the school assembly, baccalaureate, and the annual May festival. Otlicers for this year were Audrey Brust. presidentg Barbara Dobbs, vice-presidentg and Betty Cross, secretary-treasurer. fy M. llamilson. M. Hutliugtun, B. Cross, M. Balke. Seated: Carlton Gamer

Slucfenl eouncil The first event of the year sponsored by the Student Council was the homecoming game and dance. Many alumni and service men came back to make the homecoming a great success. In October an all school party was given. Besides the dancing, an unusual program and unique decorations made the party one to :be remembered. At the close of school, for Christmas vacation, a Christmas dance was planned. It served two purposes: a farewell party for Dr. Waggener and a get-together dance to help celebrate Christmas. Many service men were present on this occasion too. Each year a district student council convention is held. This year the meeting was at Champaign. Representatives from our council were Mary Lou Stover, Carol Karr, and Sally Stretch. The three other most important activities of our governing body for the year 'li-i-'45 were reorganizing of the study hall monitorial system, purchasing recreational facilities for dances and parties, and bringing the service flag up-to-date. With Mary Lou Stover, presidentg Sally Stretch, vice-presidentg Marilyn Mette, secretary, and joan Kinneman, treasurer, everything went oft like clock work. Hearty congratulations should be given to the Student Council and to Dr. Lueck, the sponsor, for such fine work.

Eancf One, two, three, fourfplay. Those passing the rehearsal room in Cook Hall any fourth hour perhaps heard these familiar words. Then, if, by chance, they glanced into the room, they saw Mr. Peithman waving a baton, trying to get the band of University High School to keep in time. The band played at our football and basketball games, thus giving more pep to the cheering section and building up the morale of the players. It was indeed thrilling to all of us when we heard the band start our school song. Some other band numbers which we especially liked to hear were On the Mall, Argezzfimz, and The Deaver! Song. Members of our band in conjunction with band members from Normal Community and Bloomington High played at the McLean County Teachers' Meeting in March. The band also presented an assembly program. The officers for this busy organization were Marilyn Wariiibir, president, Don Sherrard, vice-president, and Eldred Popejoy, secretary-treasurer.
