UNDERSTANDING Getting acquainted through meeting others, dis- cussing problems of international importance, and reading books and magazines leads to a better understanding be- tween people and nations. FAIR PLAY Fair play is an attribute of good character. Only by playing the game fairly, win or lose, in whatever ac- tivity we are participating can we be good neighbors. Good Nei gh b o r s IN WINFIELD L In order to pave the way to inter-American tolerance and a better understanding between the family of nations, representative high schools in the United States, one of which is Winfield, were chosen to study our neighbors and learn of their customs and Ways of living.

Better Understanding results from meeting others ..... talking it over ..... working together toward a common goal ..... often differences melt away or we even liind there are no differences when we freely discuss matters with others ..... 24 Band The man that hath no music in himself Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, Is fit for treason, stratagems and spoils. --Shakespeare Although they did not express themselves in such flowery words, the music directors of Winfield high had the same idea as Shake- speare. This, in part, was the reason for those long hours on the football field pre- paring the band for a movie taken by the State High School Activities Association that was sent to all high schools in the state. Also the time spent in working out new for- mations to entertain the football spectators and the time spent playing at basketball Quartermaster corps games and assemblies. Planning Committee In December Paul Painter, who had been head of the instrumental department for the past 14 years, accepted a position in Chicago and until a new director was secured, the music department planning committee was in charge of the band and orchestra with Patti Reiter, student conductor. Donald A. Pash of Freeport, Ill., arrived in January to take over the duties as director of the department. L.-. . - ,,, , - wmv-1: w X- . if .Hymn l 25 Orchestra The Winfield high school symphony orches- tra, directed by Paul Painter first semester and Donald Pash second semester, worked hard this year to continue its former high standards. Students in this organization learned to know and appreciate music of quality. Patti Reiter, Joann Miller, Philip Albright, and Bob Winslow attended Interlochen Music Camp last summer. Philip was chosen the most valuable boy at camp and given a schol- Departmental librarians arship for this summer. String quintet As a homeroom the orchestra took an active part in Bond and Stamp purchases, contribut- ed to the Community War Fund and the Infantile Paralysis drive. With Patti Reiter as concertmistress the orchestra prepared and played several concerts during the year. Dr. Joseph Maddy was guest conductor of the orchestra when he visited here this spring. The string quartet, orchestra members, and instrumental groups participated in both the local and district contests. For the first time since 1942 the district contest at Wichita in- cluded Iarge groups such as orchestras and bands. The Little Theater Orchestra furnished music for the plays during the year. 26 Chorus Low notes, high notes, sour notes, sweet notes come flowing out of the auditorium each day as the chorus classes practice their daily oh's and 'iah's . For each student to learn to appreciate good music has always been the goal of the Winfield High School music departments. The vocal department with Mrs. Foster Newland as director has taken a great step toward that goal this year. l The vocal department includes mixed L chorus, advanced girls' chorus, junior high Mixed Ensemble girls' and boys' choruses, mixed ensemble and Treble Clef the Treble Clef club. The star appearance for all groups was the annual Christmas program presented Dec. 17 in the high school auditorium.
