EQ, 5, - 5 Througha merry mixture of monkeyshines, the plot thickened until Tom Tw Snelling, Winkie Gleeson's boyfriend, stole a pair of trousers and was accused of being a housebreaker and thief. Tom's awkvvardness in knickers and Leonard Lindgreifs apparent embarrassment at losing his trousers created a laughing streak that could be heard throughout the crowd for the entire evening. The use of the new stage with its modern lighting enchanced the atmos- phere of this hilarious comedy. The play was aptly directed by Mrs. Mabel Krause with Rita Fanning, student director.

Helen Hunt Jackson's immortal love story thrilled the heart of its audience on March 28, 1952 as Barbara Johnson starred in the title role while Ray Keefer played opposite her in the part of her lover. Others in- cluded in the cast were Burton Johnson, lVIary Ann Chapek, Grayce Anderson, Charles Borreson, Carolyn Temple, Don Harris, Fred Kolterman, Thomas Mc- ! Mahon, Imogene Barry, and Bernard Kavan. The play was under the successful direction of Mrs. Mabel Krause, with Carolyn Cameron as student director.

Music Department Instructors in the music department were Mr. Hughes and Miss Olson: the former directing band, chorus, and glee, and the latter in charge of girls glee and small vocal groups. ' The band, which increased its membership this year to fifty-two, was of suitable size for marching. The members practiced diligently to prepare for the Ak-Sar-Ben Marching Band Festival on October 1. The band also attended, for the first time, the University of Nebraska Band Day, October 13, in Lincoln. It was also to participate in the Nebraska Wesleyan University's Band Day the previous week fbut inclement weather caused cancellation of the program. The band played and marched for home football games and for the Luther home- coming. As a concert band, music was presented for the senior and junior class plays, for several assemblies, and for commencement. The second annual tri- city band clinic was held in Wahoo, February 14-, under the direction' of Pro- fessor Iames King of Hastings College. Ashland, Bellevue, and Wahoo joined ranks in the clinic which took place in the new auditorium. In the vocal departments the chorus was composed of sixty-two boys and girls, the boys glee, twenty-two members, the girls glee, thirty-two members. This year, for the first time in many years, the combined vocal groups pre- sented an operetta entitled The Gypsy Troubadorf' It was successfully staged to an audience of over four hundred persons on November 30. In addition to the large groups, there were numerous small vocal groups. These groups were: girls' sextet, girls' triple trio, freshman girls' octet, mixed quartet, boys' quartet, boys' octet. The groups sang for various meetings and programs in and out of school. Wahoo High School was represented at the State Music Clinic at York, No- vember 15 and 17, by Bernadine Vogler, Dale Wurst, Miss Olson, and Mr. Hughes. Bernadine and Dale were members of the Clinic Band, the two in- structors went to observe and to receive instructions. 'Many small groups, as well as the large groups entered the District Music Festival at Fremont in April. A survey of the music department would be incomplete without mention of the Pep band. Composed of but nine members, it added greatly to the zest and enthusiasm of the rallies and ball games. From Tiger Rag to School Song it was an inspiration to the students and to the ball teams.
