BAND This year, under the expert direction of Mr. Thomas R. Caldwell, the Willard Band has made excellent progress. The band played for the Le Conte School Halloween Parade and for the graduation of the Auxiliary Police at the Berkeley High School Little Theater. We paraded, gave a drill demonstration, and played for the Berkeley Traffic Review. We are entering the Northern California Music Festival competition. We hope to equal our superior rating of last year. If you want to play an instrument — join the band. Willard will gladly loan you the instrument.

GIRLS ' GLEE CLUB The Girls’ Glee Club has had a very successful year under the excellent leadership of Miss Bonney. We sang Christmas songs for the P.-T.A. and for the school. We also made a record for the Red Cross, singing one of our Christmas numbers, Yuletide Is Here, a Swedish dance carol. We were pleased when the Red Cross director complimented us on our beautiful tone quality. Our officers were Janelle Carr, Gweneilen Jones and Joy Cox. This spring we have participated in the Spring Concert, Open House and the Music Festival at the Berkeley Community Theater. The three Junior High School glee clubs combined for the festival. We have enjoyed learning a variety of songs under the ex- pert guidance of Miss Bonney. Dorothy Stanley and Jackie Hineline have assisted me as officers this term. Alice Taylor. BOYS ' GLEE CLUB The Boys’ Glee Club, one of the most popular or- ganizations of Willard, has come through another very successful year. Under the excellent direction of Mrs. Edna Kellogg, and with the full cooperation of the boys, we have had the pleasure of singing on many occasions. We sang Christmas Carols for the December P.-T.A. meeting, and for the student body. We felt very honored at being invited to sing for the Rotary Club luncheon at the Hotel Shattuck on January 23. Also among our programs was the Spring Concert on April 24, and the Berkeley Schools Pageant on May 22, which was held at the Berkeley High School auditorium. The Glee Club consists of 90 members who all have very good voices. With their help, and that of my fellow officers, Dave White, vice-president, and Mike Mahoney, secretary, it has been easy to work along with the boys and I enjoyed every bit of it. Bruce Rogers. 16

GIRLS ' SPORTS This year the volleyball and basket- ball teams did pretty well in the inter- scholastic games. In the volleyball games the L-8 and H-8’s came in sec- ond. The L-9 ’ s won all their games but the poor H-9’s lost all of theirs. In basketball season we were highly successful. Again the L-8 ' s and H-8 ' s came in second. The L-9’s came out with the championship. The H-9 ' s were in a three-way tie for the champion- ship. In baseball the L-8 ' s and the L-9 ' s came out not so well with the loss of all their games. The H-8 ' s won one of their games and lost the other. The H-9 ' s did better this time. They won two of their games and lost one. We all have enjoyed working with Mrs. Abbott and Miss Mason. We hope we will do. just as well or better next season. Nancy Hickox.
