MEDOMAK BREEZE 41 GLEE CLUB The Glee Club has a very large group this year, numbering forty- nine. We have had several new sel- ections, Begin the Beguine , Night and Dayn, April Showers , and 'Til See You Again . The Glee Club sang some of these selections at the concert held Decem- ber 16 with the orchestra. The girls also sang for the Woman's Club on March 3rd, Our director, Mr. Lippman has been very nice and had to use much more patience than he deserved to have to use. ORCHESTRA The school orchestra was organized last year. Since then it has increased greatly in members. We now have 17 pieces. The members are: Benjamin Ames, Louise Boggs, Wil- liam Both, Keith Chase, Barbara Cof- fin, Janice Fitch, Jean Soule, Alberta Shuman, Henry Groth, Edward Hen- ny, Elsie Lee, Philip Lee, Lucille New- bert, Sara Newbert, Sally Sprague, Elsa Orff, and Sylvia Levensaler. Our orchestra has played for sev- eral organizations this year. They entertained the Woman's Club in Damariscotta and played for the Sen- ior Play. The biggest event of the year for the orchestra was the concert held December 16. A very large crowd attended to hear the new pieces Mr. Lippman struggled so hard with to teach us. The glee club participated in this concert, too. On April 16th they went to Wis- casset and played before and between the three one-act plays. The same was done at Togus when the Seniors took the play there. Mr. Lippman has done a Hne job with this group of amateur musicians.

THE SENIOR PLAY The Senior Play, an hilarious farce, titled Second Childhood , was given in the High School gym on March 12. It proved such a success that a repeat performance was presented on March 19. The proceeds from the repeat performance were used to pay the expenses involved in taking the play to Togus for the benefit of the veter- ans, April 12. This three-act play proved to be very humorous to the large audience that attended. Professor Powers f Keith Chaseb had discovered the Elixor of Youth to bring back youth to old people. Elderly General Bur- beck QDavid Marshallj was in love with the professor's daughter, fMuriel Heyerj, -so he decided to take the liquid. While the professor'was out of the room. Marcella, the general s daughter-in-law, CNancy Millerj en- tered with her baby much to the sur- prise of the general. The general be- came excited and spilled the elixor on the floor. He chased Marcella out and returned to use the telephone. While he was busy talking, Marcella return- ed with the baby and left it. The general, seeing the baby, followed af- ter Marcella. Meanwhile. the profes- sor returned to find the empty bottle anda small child on the sofa.
