Yet, intensely engrossed in the game before us, we are often unaware of this exciting impulse. The band is a faithful and de- pendable part of every game. It is there each time and only its absence impresses us with its importance. There is a drive and incentive in the stirring notes that reach the ears of the team out on the field. There is a lift and thrill in the hearts of those watching the game. lmpulses such as these are of keen significance in the effort of players to outpoinr the competitors, both play major roles in the drama of our team's winning or losing. The band's faithful members rehearse long hours and walk weary miles learning the intricate formations which lend color at the half-time. Our band plays for all the functions of the school where music is an important item. It helps the town time after time and no assembly would be complete without the band to play out old faith- ful, Onward Ardmore. Filling the position of director and conductor is our efficient, well trained and beloved Mr. Raymond Gab- bard, who has lent his talents untiringly and has inspired the band to its present high standing among similar musical organizations.

THE SWING BAND 'linger Awhilen for a Sentimental journey and while we're Waiting for the Train to Come In we'lI - watch The Old Ltunplighterf' XVe Strolled The Lane Together as Sweethearts with Stardust in our eyes Night and Day for This Is Always and It I-lad to Be You. I Don't Know Why It's Been a Long, Long Time Since You Went Away Because There's No One But You. I Love You For Sentimental Reasons and I'll See You in My Dreams Till The End of Time. That Old Black Magic really has you when the band begins to swing as they so often do at assemblies, noon programs, school functions, class elections QScott won. tool, and for the town in general. They have been a very important part of schoo'l activity and social life. The swing band under the direction of Mr, Raymond Gabbard was organized to give training and oppor- tunities to those students who are interested in enlarging their musical abilities. BOYS OUARTET Can you imagine the tiniest boy in the group to have the biggest wallop? Well, he does, when he comes out with that deep bass. Why, of course, i it is the ALWAYS SMILINGH Doug Vernon. Incidentally that high soprano, which is really tenor and tirst tenor at that, is none other than Bud Miller. It is said that redheads have quite a temper but our second tenor has been known to practice long hours fon Sweetheart , without a whimper. He's our NEVER BLUSHINGU Don Anderson. The tall lanky fellow with the burr haircut and with the heart that is really in his singing fex- cept the part that's in basketballj is baritone Win- ston Ruble. The quartet has had a very active year. They sang at the district teacher's meeting in Durant and have been the guests of the churches and Left la righl: Bud Miller, Don Anderson, Winston Ruble, Doug Vernon. Civic Clubs in the city.
