MUSIC AND DRAMA This year has been a busy as well as successful one for both the Music and Dramatic departments. They have furnished the community as well as the student body with fine entertainment and good times. So for the benefit of those who were unable to take part in these activities here is a brief summary of this year's program. The Music Department under the guidance of Mr. Charles West began the school year by electing officers for the Band Organization and making plans for future activities. To the members of the band, orchestra, and chorus the main event was participating in the various music contests held for the district at Miami and for the state at Columbus. The band and chorus which received excellent and superior ratings, respectively, were eligible to take part in the State Contest and did so, both rating excellent. Since it was band year the orchestra did not make the trip to Columbus. As for the solos and ensembles there were eight solos and nine ensembles which reached the State Contest. Next to the contests the music festival is the biggest occurrence where both this department and the community is concerned. This spring's festival proved to be one of the most colorful ever presented. The band played several patriotic numbers, an overture, and others. The evening's hit was The Little Brown Jug Goes to Town and the Piccolo Gets Left, featuring Mary Jean Blackburn. The orchestra played two selections and several string numbers. The flute quartet played their contest number, while Wanda McGee and Thurman Wright rendered solos. One of the traditions of the high school chorus is to present an operetta each year. This year's production, Creatures of Impulse, was a fine performance and a financial success. The cast included Russell Seabold, Wanda McGee, Lurline Thielman, Thurman Wright, Juanita McClain, Lorraine Kiger, Gerald Hurley and Donna Jonas. The Dramatic Group directed by Miss Marsh and Miss Greene consists of those who present the Junior and Senior class plays. The Junior play, Tiger House, directed by Miss Marsh, was rated one of the best plays given at West Carrollton. The cast did a fine job and certainly gave their upper class-men some competition. But who are the Seniors to let a little competition discourage them! Poor Dear Edgar, a three act play, was given in grand style. It was humorous throughout and each part seemed perfectly fitted.
