P1 Because it has opened a new world of companionship and understanding to many, the music department has become indispensable to our student life, Music has made great strides in the past few years. lts success today reflects direct- ly upon the constant effort and encouragement of the direc- tor, A. Lee Freeman. Our fifty-nine piece band, of which we are very proud, has been in the spotlight many times during the year and has added much to the spirit of sports. No pep-meeting, basketball, or football game would have been complete without the bancl adding color and urging the teams to vic- tory. Both the Woman's Club and the Chamber of Com- merce were entertained by the band, and twice public concerts were given. Enthusiasm and ambition are the prevailing spirits of the band members. This year something new was added to our music department for those who enjoy singing. The mixed chorus met three days a week in a regular class period, and thereby was able to accomplish a great deal. An unforgettable ex- perience for the members was the December concert given with the Carroll College Choir, when excerpts from Haen- delis Messiah were sung. Through the halls, Mondays after school floated the strains of three part harmony by the Girls' C-lee Club, This voluntary organization, with the band and mixed chorus, participated in a spring band concert. This year at Colum- bus on May 4, the band and the individual soloists made a clean sweep of first place ratings. Twenty-eight schools were in the contest. Vifith music becoming increasingly important in the school and community, our music department is doing its share to make the world a more harmonious place to live in. Our band displays its ability :it its first public concert.
