Q 99 K 2 I N rl :fi 'lf -1 JZ! X 4 VEN with long hours of practice, the girls of the Twirling club will agree that this is possible. The club, under the supervision of Miss Hayes and Miss Rogan, includes girls from seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth and eleventh grades. Although it is a small club, it has such definite objectives as improving the present twirling corp in the band and developing younger twirlers to fill the ranks of the older girls who will graduate. Seventh and eighth grade girls are highly encouraged to join. In the pre- sent group there are two juniors, one sophomore, six freshmen, one eighth grader and three seventh graders. Each girl brings a baton to club. Here they are taught different twirls lead by the drum majorette of the band. The purpose of the club is to have perfect twirls and to work out a routine .

r ,ye :Jam CHE junior high chorus, as the name suggests, is composed of students from seventh, eighth and ninth grades. It is the stepping stone to the senior high chorus. Those who are not members must try out for the senior high Ch0rl1S. There was a scarcity of boys this year. Boys are encouraged to join, in order to prepare for a better tenor and bass section in senior high work. In the candlelight service the junior high chorus did a commendable job. Mr. Ryan was very much pleased with the way they responded to his direction. They show great possibilities for the future.
