GLEE CLUBS USIC in the Warrensburg High Schools holds a very important place and the the chorus is one to command attention. The Glee Clubs are organized at the beginning of the school year and meet regularly twice a week. Anyone in high school is eligible to membership, and a quarter unit of credit is given for regular attendance. , ' The first musical event of the year was the pageant play, The Spirit of Christ- mas, which was presented in chapel. The operetta, The Belle of Bagdad, -which was the most important musical event of the year, was given the twenty-seventh of February, and was most successful. After the operetta, Work was immediately begun on the annual spring Sunday afternoon concert, district contests, and finally, commencement music. P The High School should be justly proud of the Glee Clubs and Miss Harrison, the director. Great things may be expected of them in the future. vvv' v,qf,Q',q, Vee.. t 'AA xl' K43'-SKN fhfbfib AAA, Afysayx M' 1950 Pa ge Fifty-eight

Mr. Essig then took over the task of training a heterogeneous bunch of more' or less musical youngsters to toot together. The following year another beginners' band was started, which practiced in the American Legion hall until summertime. Th'is band then moved its headquarters to the Training School, where a fresh group joined it. In the second year of its existence this band practiced at the High School and was known as the High School Band. A nerw class was then begun which added many new players to the band. The next two years of the High School Band's history were uneventful, the only diversion from routine being the annual addition of new members. In 1928 the High School and Training School Bands were again merged to form the present group. This band practices alternately at the High School and the Training School. Its members love their work, and are all rooting, as well as tooting, for their excellent director. The members are:- ' Cornets- Buddy Belt Trombone- Lee R. Stormont Arch Joe Beatty Billy Cockefair John Hollyman Clarinets- B356- Leland Pollock Robert Kennaugh Jack Harding Charles Clark Spence Wike Baritone- Edwin Haun Jack Brown Joseph Smith V Frank Martin S2lX0Dh01'19S- Dfumsm Harold Howard Bobby Foster Leland Culp Scott Grigsby Burton Brasington Page Fifty-seven iii if ,.

UM' THE BELLE or BAGDAD AIR Day in Bagdad is marked by the arrival of various visitors, among them being Mrs. J. Horace McCann, the new American consul, with her daughter, Elsa, and her daughter's friend, Anne. Lord Archie Fitzgibbons, an old friend, is also present, and a little later comes Henrietta Wliipstitch. On being presented to the Caliph and his daughter, Jewel, they learn that an assassin is abroad who carries a bomb concealed in a camera, and for this reason all persons with cameras are to be shot immediately. Dick Taylor arrives by airplane from Hollywood, accompanied by his two me- chanics, Bill and Bob. They are anxious to iind a lovely girl, known only as the Belle of Bagdad, in order to engage her as a moving picture star. They hope to identify her by some small photographs which they carry, and also by an amulet she wears, but in order to make sure, they bring a large camera with them to make pictures of all prospects. Dick meets Jewel, who welcomes him cordially, but the two mechanics meet Ali Ben Mustapha, the chief of police, who sees their camera and orders them to be executed forthwith. In order to escape, Bill and Bob resort to disguise, Hrst as Dervishes, and afterwards as members of the Caliph's body guard. 'While in this latter disguise they manage to capture the real assassin, and in return for their valor the Caliph' orders Jewel to present Dick with the sacred amulet. This serves to identify her as the Belle. Bill and Bob are freed in time to couple with Elsa and Anne, while Henrietta finds solace in the companionship of Ali Ben Mustapha.
