Beginning the long climb to perfection are the seventh and eighth grade choruses in the junior high section of the vocal music department.

These junior choristers under the direction of Mrs. Velma Snook have loaned their talents on many occasions. Besides taking a major part in the Christmas vespers program, several junior high assemblies have been favored with their songs.

Performances for students of the other junior high schools in Lincoln have been on the agenda for both groups.

Winding up the year the seventh grade group presented a program for next year's seventh graders from Bethany, Huntington , and Riley.

Much hard work and effort has been ex8rted by Mrs. Snook and great has been the reward. With entirely different students comprising the choruses each semester her work has been doubled. Numbering 210 in all, this section of beginners has acquired the background necessary for making their future senior high groups of top quality.

Two stellar plays and a standout debate squad were the products of an up-and-coming Masque and Gavel organization this year.

Northeast's dramatists and orators orqanized under Joan Spiedell early in the -fi rst semester. .A masquerade party meant fun for all on October 18. Entertaining performances by members and social hours in the playroom were features of the monthly meetings. "Mr. Pim Passes By" was the first semester climax for Masque and Gavel.

Second semester elections revealed Bill Nigh as president and he led the Masque and Gavel through the club's most active period. _Masque and Gavel members went " 611 out" on the spring production "The Enemy", which was given .April 9 and 10. Elaborate staging incorporating new scenery, purchased by the club, and a superior advertising campaign contributed to the play ' s success
