BAND IN ACTION The all-school band, under Mr. Fluke's able direction, has made great progress in two short years. There are 40 members, most of whom are junior high students. Organ- ization began early in September and the members began immediately to practice music and marching. They played for three home football games and one at Ridge- field. At the Castle Rock game, Mae Swenson, the drum majorette, led the band in a drill and march on the field, which is pictured above. The band took part in the Christmas program by playing several carols. A pep band was organized during basketball season and it played for the last home game. The band played in the all-music assembly in March. They went to Vancouver to participate in a contest on April 26. A clarinet trio, composed of seventh graders, received a rating of excellent at a music meet in Shelton. To end the year, the band played many numbers for the Spring Music Festival. Several benefits have been given to raise money for uniforms. At the Lions benefit show on March 28, the band performed for a large audience. About one-half of the money necessary for the uniforms was raised by the end of the year.

In another part of the annual the editor and advisor have expressed their sentiments and thanks for the fine help and cooperation given by all who were solicited to make possible this year book. However, too much praise cannot be heaped upon the heads of the faithful, who, night after night, worked long hours in writing and producing the pictures used in this year book.

S E X E T T E Chorus The High School Chorus, under the ahle direction of Mr. John Fluke, has prog- ressed rapidly this year. The first appearance of the chorus was at the annual Christmas program held on Decemher 18. On April 12 it took part in the Southwest Washington Music Meet. They also took part in the Spring Festival. It is hoped that next year's chorus will continue the excellent work achieved this year. The Girls Sextette The sextette made many puhlic appearances throughout the year, including per- formances at Rainhow, lfasu-rn Star and Masonic affairs, the Senior Ball, the Women's Club, junior and Senior plays, and the Cowlitz County Teachers' Convention. However, the groups greatest thrill came when they entered the contest for solo and small enseinhle guiups at Shvlton, X'if'asliington, in March. The girls returned with beaming faces and tl rating ot' excellent plus. Four memhers of the sextette. Patsy Clark, Anne lnsell, Shirley Thomas, and Betty W'icker, will graduate this year. The two junior memhers, Bonnie Treick and Florestine Simonis, will form the nucleus for next years sextette. A E T ,
