Peggy and Roger are the flag bearers Band day was lots of fun. It was our first appear- ance in our new band uniforms. We marched first to Smit's corner, then west on Highway 24. There was a patrol car leading and a patrol car behind to stop the other cars. We turned north at the Warren Garage corner and marched past the post office. We then turned south at the bank corner and stopped. We played a couple of marchs. From there we marched back to school. At each stop our baton twirlers gave a short performance. Band day was not only enjoyed by the band members. The public enjoyed it also, for the streets were lined with people. Mr. Brewer, our band instructor, was in charge of this parade.

 IDEAS THAT HAVE INFLUENCED MODERN MAN Nine students from our school, together with twenty-six students from Kiowa, Arriba, and Simla, participated in a seminar this year. The seminar is designed to give students a panoramic view of education as offered in our institutions of higher learning. Junior and senior students who had shown a desire for learning over and above that which is offered in the high school classroom, and who have maintained above average grades were selected to attend these meetings. We devoted four or five sessions to each of five general subjects: literature, history, science, fine arts, and philosophy, with students from one school summarizing each unit. Because of its centralized loca- tion, we met once a week at Simla, at 7:00 p.m. Each meeting consisted of a one-hour lecture by a local or a guest speaker after which the students were allowed about an hour to ask questions and discuss the points presented by the speaker. At each final meeting, a panel discussion led by one of the schools was presented. These sessions were conducted entirely by students, and the ideas presented often brought lively discussion. Also during the course of the sessions we were shown films which pertained to the respective subjects, and we took some interesting field trips. All participants were given the College Differen- tial Aptitude Test and took two cultural quizzes. Those who have attended consider the seminar one of their most worth-while activities.
