Leaders Combine Art, Precision, Brilliance Accompanied by the clash of the cymbals, the blare of the horns, and the rhythm of the snares, the drum majors skillfully kept the band in a tight formation of brilliance and color. The two majors were chosen as juniors for the office and graduated in May. Cooperating with Marion Jacobs, director, the colorful, high steppers were responsible for band discipline and practice sessions. Attended by the brilliance and pageantry of the band, the twirlers combined precision and sparkling excellence to create a glittering attraction at parades and pep rallies. The five GJHS twirlers strove to perfect group as well as individual styles and routines by practicing long hours with the band. Attending all home Tiger Varsity games, the school-spirited Tiger cheerleaders combined vim, vitality, and precision to carry them through an excitement filled year. Through many hours of vigorous and assiduous practice, the cheerleaders attained precision and coordination, which enabled them to stimulate the enthusiasm and vocal cords, of the crowds. Keeping the band in crisp formation during routines were drum majors, Pat Cowen and Keeley Kirkendall. Leading the band in sparkle, glamour, and grace were the twirlers, Kathy Hopper, Vicki Humphreys, Kay Bowman, Donna Lambert, and Claudia Dodge.

Clubs Broaden Interest In Library, Visual Aids The Library Service Club sought to broaden student interest in books and understanding of library use. Many members participated in the Western Slope Conference of Student Librarians held March 2 at Fruita High School. The club spent $25 to send paperback books to needy schools overseas. Under the sponsorship of the high school librarians, the assistants tested a new system in which they merited library pins by earning points. Points were given for working in the library before and after school; for helping with concession stand duties; for planning the library sponsored dance; for creating bulletin boards; and for serving the club, school, and library. Awards were presented at the annual banquet in the spring. Projectionists, under the supervision of Mrs. Patricia Fink, aided teachers and students while they gained valuable experience in the use and maintenance of audio-visual equipment. During their study halls, projectionists operated film strips and movie projectors along with other equipment for teachers. The 17 members included sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Along with technical knowledge, members gained initiative and learned reliability. Reading current periodicals, the Library Club officers, Jean Schubert, Carol Kunard, Bill Mahan, and Judy Mulnix become better informed to help fellow students obtain up-to-date in- formation. Giving a few pointers to Jim Richie and Frank O'Brien, Lee Baldwin clears up Mrs. Pat Fink and Frank O'Brien moke sure proiec- some confusion. ,ion equipment is scheduled correctly.
