A COMBINATION OF SIMULTANEOUS TONES Need we tell you what keeps the third floor awake all day? It's the boys and girls glee clubs stretching their vocal chords un- der the direction of Miss Margaret Nichols. The vocal department, with the high school orchestra, gave a winter musical en- titled Sing'in' in the Rain , the first part oi' a classical nature, and the second a fan- tasy of popular music including A Pretty Girl is Like a Melodyn, 'Empty Saddles , Springtime in the Rockies , California, Here I Come , and The Little Man Who Wasn't There . There are seventy-one senior high stu- dents and one hundred-eleven junior high students in the glee clubs and twenty-six members in the A Cappella choir. lf you have been one of those unfor- tunate victims caught in the mad stain- pede between first hour and home room, think nothing of it . . . it's only the band members rushing to the bungalow before Director Evans clicks the lock. I I Soon a wierd hubbub begins, but only for a. short time, then the martial strains of Stars and Stripes Forever set feet to tapping as the eighty-four musicians start their daily rehearsal. During the fall the band displayed its ability by marching at football games and lending color and pep to parades. On Feb- ruary 25 they presented a concert with Russell L. Willey of Kansas University as guest conductor. In the musical presented in January the thirty-five piece orchestra had a chance to show their talent. They played several numbers and accompanied the glee club in

A CAPPELLA some of their numbers. As a feeder for the first band and or- chestra Mr. Evans has the second band and orchestra, which meet every other day. Most of the players in these are junior high students. At the regional contest in Wichita April 24-25, the band received a superior rating, the orchestra, A Cappella, and girls glee club highly superior. Ensembles that brought home the bacon included the clarinet and the cornet quartets. Soloists receiving 1's were Charles Banks, baritone, Mary Belle White and Glorene Titus, flutes, and Bob Price, high voice. Many of the other entrants received superiors. FAMILIAB SCENES Wellington High is the place we get an education, We also have fun, for one hund- red eighty days we come here and go through the same Joutine. Occasionally we have a lyceum, a play, or an assembly. In our halls between classes we stand around our lockers and joke, or talk, or try to get our lessons off others. Our R0meos and Juliets spend as much time together as possible, while some trade funny books to read next hour. The scene of bruised knees, aching bones, and other sore places was ice-covered Slate Creek when the stars and moon and fire made a picturesque' setting for skaters. The braver subjected themselves to the dar- ing past time of Whipcrack, but most of us just had fun. Snow today, mush tomorrow, mush to- day, gone tomorrow. So :uns the course of a Kansas snow that struck Wellington Jan- uary 30 when little white crystals came down as if planning to make us use snow shoes. Students living in the country, left school at 10:30. The next day We beheld a beautiful World, soft, and cold but by Mon- day, the snow was slushy, squishy, and squashy. Then it faded and only memories remained with a few unstable snowmen.
