The Band This year our band lost a great many members, but there were many eager players who stepped in to lake I heir places. Our band was represented at All Stale this year by six capable mem- bers: Joyce Stone, Paul Meader, Helen Montena, Jean Brooks, Gene Nietsche, and Hlizabeth Menshausen. Some of our members played for concerts during the summer with the town hand.

The first appearance of any Glee Club members was al the All- State Music Clinic in Glens Kails on .November 19th and 20th. Lenita Bennett, Jack Cunningham, Sally Frye and Beverly Prespare repre- sented our group in the choir which was under the direction of Dr. Frank Cavallo. We can look with pride upon the memory of our initial performance of the year in a half hour broadcast from W. W. S. C. in Glens Falls on January 22nd. Besides several numbers by the entire chorus, Lenita Bennett sang two selections from modern operettas, and a girls’ trio, composed of Pal Cunningham, Dorothy Maxam and Lenita Bennett, sang several old English tunes. A few Glee Club members appeared in the operetta, “The Night Before Christmas,” presented in assembly and also for the Parent- Teachers Association at the December meeting. Representatives from our group were prominent in the cast of “Vaudeville Varieties,” the senior-benefit show given in February. Our final and most important appearance of the year was at Com- mencement exercises in June .... in effect, the swan song for our seniors.

The Hi-Rock Staff From Li ft to Right, First Row: Doris Munson, Pat Potter, Eva Lewis, Laura Hanley, Beverly Perepare. Alberta Holt, Sally Frye, and Margaret Bellmore. Second Row: Mr. Scully, Advisor; Muriel Reynolds, Lorraine Toney, Alice Hall, Lenita Bennett, Jean Raymond, Ruth Anselmo, and Pat Havron. Third Row: Harold Montena, Joyce Stone, Helen Montena, Betty Malt bio, Betty Nichols, Alice Whittemore, Shirley Smith, Pat Cunningham, and Diane Fayen. This year Hie Hi-Rock litis taken another slop in progress. Wo have been experimenting with mimeographing and have found that it produces a successful paper. With many deadlines sel and many not met, still, we managed to let the kids in on what is happening around school. Our 1 usy reporters have been seen (at the last minute!) fly- ing about Ihe hulls, picking up whatever gossip they could find. Many long hours both after school and on Saturdays were spent producing this paper. From one end of Ihe year to Ihe other you could find Ihe staff plugging away to give you Ihe latest news in Sports, Hit Parade, Lit- erary, Jokes, Features, and Fashions. Those leading Ihe stall' were Joyce Stone, Editor: Alice Whittemore, Assistant Editor; and Mr. Scully. Faculty Advisor. The patience of Mr. Scully added to Ihe per- sistence of Joyce Stone, the Editor, is what ultimately gave the paper ils success. Next year we hope to put out as successful a paper as this year's was.
