BAND The band, a thriving new activity, was organized last fall in response to the interest of many students. Previously the efforts of the school along the line of instrumental music had been in the direction of establish- ing an orchestra. But as a result of the present day interest in brass and wood wind instruments, the violin section of the orchestra has suffered. Therefore, this year the Board of Education decided upon the policy of developing a band. The band made its first public appearance at a special meeting of the P. T. A., on Januay 12. On February 17, a concert was given by the Junior Band, High School Band, and professional artists from Lyon and Healy's. An assembly was held on April 18, at which the band played. Mr. Behm, the director, has given lessons and con- ducted rehearsals each Monday. l The Valedicforianu Bubbling Over Bandsman's Delight On fhe Square Twenty-five

Since March the girls and boys have been under the direction of Miss Dorothy Roberts and have met for rehearsal once a week, on Fridays. Oflicers of the Girls' Cilee Club were: President, Dor- othy Bailey: Vice President, Beth Hickin: Secretary and Treasurer, Vivian Hoag: Librarians, Helen Sperry and Dorothea Single: Pianist, Geraldyne Stoll. The girls sang two selections for the members of the P. T. A. convention, held in the Dover High Auditorium in November. The Boys' Quartet, composed of John Burkey, Ed- ward Wilson, Carl Leesberg, Clyde Smith and the pianist, Earl Brooke, gave several programs for school activities, and also sang at several Lakewood theaters. Miss Roberts planned to have the girls sing a cantata and also sing a selection or two with the boys before the end of the school term. We are looking forward to next year's activities, which will undoubtedly bring an operetta, in which new mem- bers from the Junior High will join us.
