Introducing itself to the public by their first public appearance on Armistice Day, the Aquinas Orchestra was dubbed promising from the very first performance. The orchestral arrange- ments for the annual opperetta Hats' Offi' and the musical background for the dramatic production He1'itagel' added another ribbon to the orchestras' col- lection. Not only as a group is the orchestra outstanding, but it also has many promising individuals who have entertained at meetings and clubs. These en- tertainers include: John Howard, John Williams, Mary Streicher, Marilyn Rice, Pat Hase. Theresa Mahoney, Mary Pavela, Rosemary Fuchs, Margaret Ann DeWolf, Delores Lanzel, Joan Rathburn, Elaine Shoger, Rosemary Wurm, and Lawrence Bott.

THIS WAS THE YEAR. The Blugold Band has led many a victory parade, but this band played the accompaniment for Aquinas' first gridiron Victory over Central. To play for athletic contests must remain one of the most important assignments of a high school band: to back a winning team makes the assignment a double pleasure. Five home football games and three parades provided a busy fall march- ing season. Several catchy new tunes added interest to all home basketball games for crowds already thrilled by the splendid per- formance of a championship team. A small but highly eilective section of the band sped to the depot in time to give a rousing Welcome to the champions returning from the St. Nor- bert's Tournament. For outdoor work the band is now able to muster 54 players in blue, a drum major and majorette in white, and live twirlers. X Ln THE WINTER CONCERT on December 15 offered fourteen numbers, among which were: Hall of Fame, Olivadoti: Show Boat, Kern: American Patrolf, Meacham: ln A Persian Market, Ketelbeyg 'iDoge's March, Rosse: Boogie-Woogie Band, Bennet: Cir- ibiribinf' Pestalozza: I Want To Be Happy, Youmans: White Christmas, Berlin: Wash- ington Post and The Stars and Stripes For- ever, Sousa. The Twirlers entertained with a skit This Is The Army. THE SPRING CONCERT on May 11 also presented a variety program: Victory and Fame, Holmes: Emperor Waltz, Strauss: Victory Overture based on Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, Coons: Morning, Noon, and Night in Vienna, Suppe: Panis Angelicusf' Franck: The Bells of St. Mary's: Concert March, Adams: Lady of Spain, Evans: Ca- nadian Capersj' Teague: Semper Fidelis and The Thundererj' Sousa.
