GIB li HALL MU IC MAKER Music students at VHS begin every day with gentle, dulcent strains of harmony produced by them- selves under the long-suffering direction of Mr. Austin Gibson. For each morning at exactly 8:40 Gibson Hall students take their places and, instruments in hand, begin the forty-minute practice session. Even though the group has not yet completely rubbed the sleep from its eyes the work-out on marches, overtures and waltzes which will eventually be performed at assemblies, plays and that goal of the entire year's efforts, the concert, is usually brisk and business-like. For more than twenty years Mr. Gibson has guided the activities of the music department at VHS and seen its membership grow from a handful to well over a hundred students. This year, for the first time, musicians enjoyed the facilities of the completely finished music room.

F. A. this year was the sale ot adver- tising for a club calendar. Proceeds were used for the purpose ot a fine registered calf. By vote the group chose Howard Powell to care tor the calf. Eventually he will return a calf to another club member as the beginning of a chain project. Judging contests and a parlia- mentary and public speaking contest also drew participants from the Vienna Club this year. The F. H. A. was unfortunate in having no permanent sporsor until the second semester when Mrs. Janet McCoy was employed as home economics teacher. High point of the year was F. F. A. Week in May. The slumber party Cwithout sleepj and mother-daughter banquet will be long remembered.
