I--l il! Department of Music ORCHIQSTRA The Westfield High School Orchestra has been organized for eight years. During this time it has accomplished many worthwhile activities and has proved to be a valuable asset to the school. The orchestra has performed at many of the school functions, including the annual cperetta, classplays, and other activities. Under the leadership of Mrs. Beelar, the present director, the orchestra has grown until its membership numbers 47. The instrumentation is as follows: violins, 153 flutes, 33 trumpets, 35 clarinets, 45 horns, 43 trombones, 25 basses, 35 percussion, 25 saxophones, 45 bassoon, 1, cello, 25 baritone, 15 piano, 15 harp, 15 organ, 1. The orchestra for the last several years has taken part in the School Band and Orches- tra contest conducted by the National School Band and Orchestra Association. Under the leadership of this association all the states are arranged into districts and the winners in the district contests are allowed to participate in the state contestsg these winners com- pete in the national meet for the highest honor that can be attained by a high school orchestra. During the time that Westfield has competed in such events it has won the following awards: in the district, two first prizes5 in the state, two first, and two second prizesg in the national, won second division prize. Westfield is justly proud of this orchestra for its accomplishments. It is considered one of the best musical organizations in the county and has probably carried the name of Westfield farther than any other organization. NTJCLSIJ Among the vocal organizations in the music department are the Madrigal Club, the Girls Glee Club, Boys Glee Club, Boys Quartet, Girls Quartet. The Madrigal Club, comprised of twenty-seven voices chosen from the Girls Glee Club, won second in the State Choral Contest in 1933. This year they will enter the Indiana, Illinois Contest which will be held at Terre Haute on May 2. The principal project of the vocal organizations this year was the presentation of the annual operetta, The Sunbonnet Girl. More than two hundred students took part in the ultra successful production of this clever two-act musical comedy. BAND The Westfield High School Band, organized eight years ago, has also performed notable services for the school. The most important service performed by the band has been the playing at football and basketball games in which this school has participated. The band has also represented Westfield High School in the school band contest, which is conducted in the same manner as the orchestra contest. The band, largely be- cause of the difficulty in financing contest trips of both organizations, has never parti- cipated in any contest above the district. Under Mrs. Beelar's direction the band has also grown greatly in membership. The instrumentation of the band is as follows: Trumpets. 95 clarinets, 163 trombones, 5: bari- tone, 15 bassoon, 15 basses, 4: percussion, 55 saxophones, 43 flutes, 31 picolos, 25 horns, 4.

1--l i-I ATHLETICS FOOTBALL Playing the early season games against exceptionally strong opponents, Westfield's 1933 -grid machine which lost eight latter men of the previous year by graduation failed to get off to much of a start offensively until late in the .season's grind. In their delbut the Fletchermen made a splendid showing against a powerful Marion eleven but were defeated 7 to 0 and then lost 'by larger scores to Columbus and 'South- pont, two teams that were -undefeated throughout the entire season. The gridiron com- binations of rthese schools 'were rated as among the strongest in the state and the Fletch- ermen's efforts were really worthy of much credit-more than the actuall received as a comparison of scores of other schools bore out. However, the Green and White came more into their half of the campaign with a trio of tie games and a win in Out of a schedule of nine enigagements Westfield met in three and ended with a victory. Through-out the season Westfield was regarded as an aggregation while -the offense was ralther :weak .during the Five Westfield men were named on -the 1933 all-county dall, Edwards, Martin, and Powell. This was a rather large quota of Shamrock men 'ln view of the -fact that -four schools of the covunlty were playing football.

But, after having lost steam in mid-season, the Fletchenmen flashed ,back into running order stronger than ever in the I-Iamillt-on County Basketball Tourney. In this event West- field, playing a superior type of ball, swept aside supposedly stronger quintets to end up in the runner-up position. In recognition of outstanding 'performances in this event Ken- dall and Edwards were awarded all-county first team berths at center and guard respectively while Lassiter was named as an all-county fonward on the second team. The impetus gained at the county affair carried on throughout the remainder of the net campaign, al- though it was employed less effectively than at first. From a total of twenty-two engagements, including three county tournaments and one sectional battle, Westfield won seven and lost fifteen. 'Better than half of the casualties resulted from close shaves with a difference of five -points or less in the final count. Westfield scored a total of 432 points against 489 collected by opponents.
