Mr. Bernard Shifrm, di– rector rnauce rnand When North's jive-loving junior set think of swing, they think of their own swing bond organized in 1945 to provide solid entertainment at noon hour programs, donees and assemblies. This year they performed at junior high schools, Central and Union Endicott. They played for a special fund- raising dance sponsored by the instrumental music depart– ment to buy additional band uniforms and at the opening session of the Broome County Youth Forum •n April. Choir Organized onginolly in 1937 by Mr. Roy Hartley as on a capella group, North's Cho•r has always been composed of carefully selected students interested in harmony, composition and the value of music. Through the proceeds of its concerts, the organization has succeeded in being self– supporting. It has participated in baccalaureate services, Christmas and Easter programs and broadcasts over WNBF and has entertained at Rotary, Kiwanis, and Business Women's luncheons, and competed in State Sectionals. This year, under direction of Miss Marion Thornburn and with Bernard Mahoney as accompanist, the Choir made its customary appearances and an May 8 participated in the Triple Cities Musical Contest. ~and During the fall term of 1937, the North High Band was organized by Mr. Charles Budesheim and sixty-seven students. Wea ring the blue ond scorlet of North, the band from the first won favor for Binghamton's newest school through its public appearances in patriotic parades, at Christmas and spring concerts, at a concert at the State Hospital, and by winnmg both group and individual ratings at the annual All-State Bond and sectional contests. Mr. Budesheim was succeeded by Mr. Richard McCutchan, now on military leave, and then by Mr. Bernard Shifrin. This year as usual the bond served as a morale builder at football games and rallies. Orchestra Look1ng over the record of the post ten years, orchestra members can take pnde m the1r organizatiOn, ever since, under the baton of Mr. Charles Budesheim, they established a series of traditional services. They furnish music for North's plays, commencements, special assemblies, g1ve concerts, and compete creditably at the All-State and sectional contests. In addition, this year they pa rticipa ted in the Triple Cities High School Orchestra which performed during Mus1c Week. 51
