Music and Speech Activities MUSIC ACTIVITIES This year music activities started with the band playing at the Warren Fair. As soon as school started we began to march and get ready for football games. Then came the homecoming to which we invited bands from South Wayne, Gratiot, Shullsburg, and Benton,. This year’s parade was a bigger success than the preceding year’s Homecoming parade. We were invited to the Shullsburg Homecoming later in the year. Then to conclude the fall activities the band took a trip to Platteville, Wis- consin to take part in a marching contest connected with Platteville State Teachers Homecoming in which our band made a first place in Class “B.” When the football season ended, we started practicing for a concert later in the year. When basketball games started we formed a pep band, which played at home games. On February 11, we presented our winter carnival, a means of making money for paying for instruments and music which were bought during the year. The spring concert, which consisted of the band and girls chorus, was held on April 1. And on April 5, the band and chorus travelled to Fulton for the District contest. On March 11, we presented a Spring Recital which consisted of the band and vocal contestants numbers and on March 15, these contestants travelled to Fulton, Illinois, to participate in the district contest there. To conclude this year’s activities the band will probably take part in the Memorial Day parade and hope to hold several outdoor concerts as we did last year. SPEECH ACTIVITIES Senior Class Play “M’liss” (My Western Miss), the senior class play, directed by Miss Edith Groom was given on April 24 and 25. The play took place in the little mining town of Smith’s Pocket in the Sierras. In Smith’s Pocket lived George Smith (Joe Nelson) and his young daughter, M’liss (Lorraine Kant.) George Smith known as “Bummer” was the town’s loafer, who thought that some day he would strike it rich. M’liss was the only one who had any confidence in him. This three act comedy play was based upon a Bret Harte story. Junior Class Play The Perfect Idiot,” was the Junior Class play, directed by Miss Eleanor Grotkin was given November 14th and 15th. The play took place in the home of Daniel Tennyson. Danny Tennyson, the perfect idiot, was not liked by his school- mates because of his superior attitude. When Puff, the great athletic star became disqualified because of poor grades, the high school gang turned to Danny for help. Many complicated situations arise when Danny gets the ingenious idea of using his hypnotic suggestion invention on Puff. 23
