The Girls Drill Team carried out some very complicated marching maneuvers at the football games and the Lone Pine Tournament. Their new sweaters with an emblem of a marching girl will be used as a uniform next year. Page Sixfy-mfr'

The quality of the music improved as well as the size of the group. The most notable change was the new uniforms for the band. Through the efforts of the band members selling tickets to the P. T. A. play, the contribution by the Student Council, and the donation by the Stampede, sufhcient funds were gathered to purchase the uniforms of green Capes, white overseas garrison caps, and white trousers. Highlights of the band's appearances included performances at the following: foot- ball games, basketball games, P. T. A. play Dear Ruth,', Basketball Tour- nament at Lone Pine, Stampede Parade, Rodeo, and Commencement. All in all, the Burroughs Band had a busy year and is to be congratulated on its improvement.

EHUH SES The special period chorus was a new venture for this year. Although no credit was given for this class, the membership was fairly constant at sixty. They combined with the regular chorus to sing Christmas Carols around the NOTS area. Mrs. Ruth Kirley took over the fourth period high school chorus this year and has done a fine job of teaching Voice placement, diction, and part Work. The music organization has appeared at many gatherings during the year. -two
