MUSIC The climax of last year's music activities was the National Music Contest held at In- dianapolis. The orchestra made a splendid showing by receiving a superior rating in their class. Three first-division awards were won by our music students, Rachel Veit, alto clar- inet soloist, the Standard Clarinet Quartet, and the Saxophone Sextet. 1 The band in the State Contest at Knightstown received a large Sweepstakes Cup for being the best all-roundi' band in their class. They also were awarded a plaque for winning First Division as a result of their play- ing ability. June found the band journeying to the Eighth Annual Peony Festival at Van Wert, Ohio, Where they competed in marching with fifty other bands. A series of sum- mer concerts was given in the business section of the city. In July the band entered a contest at Franklin, Ohio, and tied for top honors. On Labor Day they were invited to compete at Muncie, Indiana, and as a result received second prize. The band returned to Muncie on Armistice Day and won first place in competition marching. The officers elected for the past year in the Music Department were as follows: Band -president, William Seibertg vice president, Stanley Riffleg secretary, Ernestine Corn, treasurer, Leatrice Barr, senior sergeant-at-arms, Gail Weimer, assistants, William Romeiser and Byron Green, junior sergeant-at-arms, Richard Lollarg assistant, Donald Stebleton. Orchestra - president, Paul Barth, vice president, Ann Phipps, secretary, Joyce Frazeg treasurer, Margaret Keck. The librarian for the band and orchestra was Ada Bell Feltman, who was assisted by Rachel Veit and Mary Birum. Girls' Chorus- president, Margaret Murphy, secretary-treasurer, Norma J. Kennong librarian, Geraldine McCarthy. Mixed Chorus-president, Charleen Reeves, vice president, Rachel Veit, sec- retary, Betty Harshmang treasurer, William Romeiser, librarian, Margaret Warner. The choruses consist of a Girls' Chorus and a Mixed Chorus. Both have made several reputable appearances during the school year. The Girls' Chorus met once a week outside of school, and its success was due to the group's own initiative. The Mixed Chorus met twice a week for half an hour during the activities period. Lois Veit accompanied the Girls' Chorus and Max Hook accompanied the Mixed Chorus. In February the Mixed Chorus sang at a Chamber of Commerce banquet at the Elks' Club. The greatest success of the Music Department was the annual program given on Jan- uary 30. A record-breaking crowd attended the performance. The band, orchestra, Girls' Chorus, and Mixed Chorus participated. Lois Veit played a piano solo with band ac- companiment, and Gail Weimer played a French horn solo accompanied by Mrs. Walter Shaw. A trio consisting of Lois Veit, Margaret Keck, and Leatrice Barr played, also. The success of the entire Music Department was due to the untiring efforts of its con- ductor and teacher, Mr. Walter Shaw. -LEATRICE BARR Page Thirty-one

THE WESTEBNER The Westerner staff was organized the latter part of September, and the first num- ber of the fourth volume was published September 28, 1939. With a few exceptions the paper was printed every two weeks. Copies were given to each student free of charge. An exceptionally large number of aspir- ing journalists applied for staff positions which were assigned by Mr. Bowers and Mr. Cole. According to custom, Lois Veit, assistant editor the previous year, assumed the position of editor. The invaluable as- sistance of Mr. Bowers, sponsor, was large- Page Thirty ly responsible for the success of the West- erner. Several different features were inaugu- rated in the Westerner last year, including the addition of two more pages, an uunsyn- dicated column, and a comic strip. Three special editions, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter, were published. The attractive covers were designed by the art editors who also drew the headings for the paper. Original compositions by high school and junior high students were published in various issues. An exchange was held with several schools in Indiana and Ohio.
