Text from 1921 Nornir
THE musical talent
of the H. H. S. is unsurpassed by any institution in town. On all occasions
when school spirit was to lie shown, it was mingled with the strains of a
band, scarcely excelled by Sousa's. At soccer panics the contest was opened
by a parade of students led by Hollinger's band, which made such a noise
that it drowned the voices of the rooters. Cornets and other instruments,
Elided by "Bill's" vigorous drumming, inspired the players and urged them on
to do their best.
The High School
orchestra under the leadership of Mr. Gantt furnished music for our
exercises at Chapel and provided snappy tunes to help the eager (?) students
up the stairs and to the various classrooms. Spillman's playing was
marvelous. "Dutch" set the time and took the lead and the others followed—if
they could. Spangler's cornet ran a close second and Miss Bair's handling of
the unwieldy trombone proved her skill. At times Stover added to the harmony
with a banjo-mandolin, and the second violin part was carried by Crawford.
On the whole they provided an impetus that was felt in all recitation rooms,
and blue were the days that they failed to appear.
And then the Glee
Club. Never before had the Hanover High heard such a chorus. Their
selections were most ably rendered, and afforded much pleasure to the
student body. "Polly" Pitts, perhaps the only one of us possessing real
vocal talent; delighted all present by her singing on many occasions. We
expect to hear some day that she has become famous. The male chorus'
rendition of "The Bull Dog" on one occasion showed their skill as vocalists
and was greatly appreciated. The solos by Margaret Morning and Margaret
Witmer were always pleasing.
And last but not
least! Spillman's Jazz Band, How much "vim and pep" they displayed at the
dances after the basketball games. Their melodious strains made even those
who did not dance move their feet and keep time. Many couples glided over
the gym floor in perfect rhythm, infused with the spirit of the "Jazz Band".
On the whole the
musical talent of the school is well-developed, and an unusual number of
students are able to play! Many of (hem are certain to become well-known
outside of our town, and we shall feel highly honored to remember that they
were once members of the Hanover High School.

Text from 1929 Nornir
 The High School orchestra has enjoyed a more successful
season during the year 1929, than in any previous year. Under Miss Morning’s
careful guidance and untiring efforts, the orchestra has endeavored to do its
best. Rehearsals were held every Monday, during the extra-curricular period and
on the whole, were well attended. The members responded willingly when called
upon to produce music in chapel or in literary society. With such co-operation,
perseverance, and spirit as the members have shown, we see a brilliant and
successful future for the orchestra.
