A Club That Brightens Every Corner Is This Boys' Club NE of the most active clubs in school is the Stage and Apparatus Club, which operates under the capable guidance and assistance of Mr. Slaybough, This club willingly fulfills all requests from teachers both during and after school time. Among the various duties of the members is that of assisting at assemblies by taking care of regular lighting and spotlighting equipment, shifting of chairs and scenery on stage, and operating the projector for moving pictures. At school dances they take care of the music by means of a victrola and records when outside bands are not hired. The outside bands are being discarded due to the fact that our own dance band is becoming very popular with the student body. The Stage and Apparatus Club provides a good background for the members in han- dling the sound and projection equipment and in developing a sound sense of responsi- bility. The boys are known throughout the school as good fellows. OFFICERS LEON LESLIE ........, President HERBERT HACKBARTH . . . Vice-President ROBERT VOGLER . . . Secretary-Treasurer 52

Yearly Cycle , T if THE Music Department went over the top again this year, due to the un- tiring efforts of Mr. Austin and his students. One organization which did a great deal of work is the Central Music Committee. lt is composed of a number from each musical organization in school. The groups meet twice a month and nothing is overlooked. lt de- cides. what events shall take place throughout the year and also discusses the problems and future of each group in the Department. ln the spring the band had five concerts in the park. lt also played for assemblies every Thursday. When football season came, it marched at every game. The Band is always a feature attraction at Westwood in its red and white uniforms accented with a black belt. On March 2l, 22, and 23, the music department presented an operetta entitled The Student Prince by Sigmund Romberg. This required the par- ticipation of each group in the music department. The operetta helped to train more than one hundred and twenty-five students in singing. The suc- cess of this operetta was proven by the complete sell-out of the auditorium for the three successive nights. This year the Orchestra and Dance Band played a great deal in shows. The Dance Band ran several successful shows this year. lt has seventeen students, all experienced players. The Senior Choir has been selected to do the clinic work for all choirs in Bergen County. This means that it studies the music that is to be sung by the choirs of surrounding schools, and at a prescribed time presents this music as it should be sung to the choirs assembled in a predetermined ren- dezvous. All the other organizations, such as the Junior Choir, Boys' Glee Club, and Girls' Glee Club contributed their share of the work in presenting the concerts and shows. Many students are taking music as their careers. The students who are graduating this year from the Music Department are Joyce Gannon, Roger Kasefang, Muriel Lloyd, Grace Sethmann, and Alan Sternbergh.
