The Band Saturday, May 9, the State Band Contest was held in San Francisco. The Willard Band performed as the outstanding group in the Junior High School Class. Both in conduct and performance they were rated excellent. The Student Body had the pleasure of hearing them play their program numbers at an assembly held in their honor. On May 17, they played in the annual Spring Band and Orchestra Festival held in the Men ' s Gym- nasium, University of California, and again their work was outstanding. It was a very fine program they put on at the International Rotary Convention held in our city re- cently, and the excellence of their work called forth many favorable comments. The mem- bers of the band are a credit to the school, and we are proud of them.

The Choral One hundred twenty-seven students selected music as one of their courses this se- mester, a peak enrollment we wish you to know. These girls and boys automatically became members of the H-9 Choral with Mrs. Kellogg as their leader. A triumphant and enjoyable term has just been most successfully climaxed with the beautiful numbers so faultlessly rendered on the program for graduation today.

The Forest ' s Children The gentle doe in the forest green Peeks out from behind her leafy screen. The bushy-tailed squirrel collects his nuts For winter-time when his door he shuts. The broad-tailed beaver with his dam Cuts down trees for his pond to cram. The big brown bear inspects the trees To steal some honey from the bees. Ted Wilson. 20

A Bath in the Sound It was on a fishing trip in the Puget Sound, Washington, that I was to experience defeat. We were going along in our motor boat, my uncle and I, when my line started to pull in what I thought was a small salmon. All of a sudden it jumped out of the water, and to my amazement I saw that it was at least two feet long. Suddenly there was a jerk on the line and overboard I went. I was so frightened I couldn ' t let go of the line, and the salmon pulled me away from the boat. I looked back to see that I was about fifty feet from the craft. Realizing my danger, I let go of the line just as the salmon started to descend to the black depth of the Sound. Meanwhile my uncle had started to my rescue. In record time, sputtering and spouting, looking more like a drowned rat than a swanky fisherman, I was pulled back into the boat, but that salmon had put an end to our fishing trip for that day.
