I jjj: BAND Starting out the year with the annual fall concert, the band got off to a flying start on the year’s activities. Although transportation difficulties made it impossible for members to participate in the usual contests, the band played for many special occasions. Besides the fall concert, they played in the Tri-Township Band Clinic; furnished the music for the pep sessions, basketball games and foot- ball games; and also played at a bond rally. The music department’s annual magazine sales campaign helped not only the band and orchestra, but also the athletic depart- ment as well. Members of the band also participated in a solo and ensemble contest. Leaders of the various sections are Fred Matzke, saxo- phone; Richard Powers, trombone; Pat Jennings, wood- wind; Eugene Bardonner, trumpet; Joan Windish, French horn; Ted Archer, bass; Warren Timmerman, baritone; and Ruth Ellen Middleton, drums.

SENIOR CHORUS and MADRIGAL This year has been a busy one for the Senior Chorus for there have been a number of outstanding activities. On October 27, the Senior Chorus, composed of sixty-four members, took part in the All-State Chorus. The Fall concert on November 8 was the next appearance for the group. ' The Mocking Bird,” a delightfully tuneful oper- etta in which the principals and chorus appeared in color- ful costumes depicting the 18th century in New Orleans, was presented on December 6. On March 27, Warren acted as host for the County Choral Festival. During the Lenten Season the Chorus furnished music for some of the downtown churches. This was followed by a formal Spring Concert on May 8. Singing for the Senior Vesper service was the final ap- pearance of the Chorus for the year. The Madrigal Singers represented Warren a number of times during the school year by appearing on various programs in and near Indianapolis. The first program of the year was given for the Deans’ Meeting during Teachers Association. The group has sung for a number of church and P.-T. A. organizations. During the yuletide season the group gave a Christmas program on the Monument Circle Page 29 ill
