This year the Band was handicapped by a slow start due to the graduation of many of its finer members and the changing of band directors. Unluckily, all members could not be scheduled into just one band period, so the only time they could practice all together was during before-school sessions on Tuesday mornings. But to overcome these early drawbacks it worked hard to improve, and by the Christmas concert, gave a performance which was more than many had come to expect. The new Pep Band, which was comprised of a select group of experienced members, provided really enjoyable, lively entertainment to add a musical spark to the pep rallies.

,. ,i Au as if T '7' my Chorus and Reginas Raise Their Voices High The Girls' Chorus met during the seventh period Bbg of each day this year. lts numbers had dwindled from 66 the previous year to only 17, which made it more difficult to develop as great a volume. Yet, with diligent practice, it showed much talent in its debut at the Christmas concert. The Regina Singers were chosen again this year from the best female voices in the school. Its members had to spend many hours practicing after school. They entertained not only at concerts, but at events like the S.A.A. Mother-Daughter Banquet, and an appearance on local TV. Bbg
