The German Band which consists of Esther Knapp, Cynthia Hansen, Joe Sorenson, Dave Lunde, and Ted Knapp performed at many school functions. Performing intricate marching routines at football games and playing at pep assemblies, concerts and games constituted a few of the services contributed by the High School Band. A highlight of this year's activities was moving into the new band room in January. It was surely a change from the cramped auditori- um stage. Early in the year, the Band performed at the Fair in Puyallup, delighting all who heard it. At the Band Festival in March the band received a good rating, playing March and Chorus, Two Moods and Cheerio. Among the pieces played by the Band were: Thendora, Swed- ish Rhapsody, Relax, and Deep River Rhapsody. 18

The first public appearance under the direction of Mr. Roberts and Miss Hughes was the Christmas Concert with the Glee Club, Choir, and Girls' Double Nonette. The concert consisted of many beautiful carols and hymns which received much praise. They were assisted by Miss Hobson's choral readers. Soon after the Christmas Concert was over, the choral department started preparing for the Winter Concert and later, the Spring Concert. Both of these concerts were big achievements and showed many hours of hard work. The Chorus also attended a few choral festivals in the spring. The Choral Department has had a very successful year and received much praise for their accomplishments.
