Senior Chorus One of the most outstanding musical presentations of the school year was the annual operetta. Last year the preformance of Blow Me Down,” a comical operetta, was most successful. On February 19, and 20, of this year, a colorful, An Old Spanish Custom,” was present- ed and again the senior chorus received highest honors. The chorus sang for the music teachers of Marion County at the Marion County Professional meeting at Warren Central on December 9. Fifteen members of the chorus were in the All-State Chorus which sang for the Friday night session of the Indiana State Teachers’ Convention. This spring the County District Choral Festival will be held in which the senior chorus will take an active part.

The duty of the bus captain is to assist the bus driver in solving the problems and to check the attendance. The ass’t bus captain’s duty is to aid the bus captain.

It is their duty to direct traffic and to park cars at all social events at the school, such as basketball games, dances, and parties. It is interesting to note that of the fifty members of the Safety Patrol only two are girls.
