Symphonic Band Under Direction of Schwuchow Gains National Prominence THROUGH THE COLOR AND DIN OF THE CROWD COMES THE BOOM. BOOM. BOOM. AND RA-TE-TA TA OF THE BAND 117 HEN DIRECTOR Arthur Schwuchow’s famous baton is laid aside this year, the fifth, and probably most unprecedented year of his leadership of the Aberdeen High School Hand will come to an end. The National Champions have made a record that is envied all over the country, for this year has seen the band march, play symphonies, and in general, accompany almost every school and civic activity in such a manner that they are being recognized as a part of Aberdeen’s regular routine. This year Mr. Schwuchow formed a band council, the first the Aberdeen Rand has ever had. The council is composed of the first-chair players from the band, and the officers of the council arc elected from the band at large. It is with pride that the band’s Music Contest record be reiterated here. The band, having won a division-one at St. Paul, last year, didn’t need to enter the State Contest this year, as a whole, but the National Champions won ten division-one ratings out of seventeen solo and small ensemble events to make the best record at the State Contest. TALK ABOUT LEADERSHIP. John Hoffman, left, handsome drum major, and June Throckmorton, pretty baton twirler. would bend over backwards for the band, and here they do.

National Contest, Concerts Highlight A Cappella Activity KNTRAI S A (’aj»i)ella Choir, with its record of high achievements, rates as one of Aberdeen's finest musical organizations. Under the capable direction of Miss Gertrude Meyer, the A Cappella Choir has preformed for appreciative audiences thru-out the school year. Among this year’s program highlights were the Christmas program and the annual spring concert. The Choir took an outstanding role in the National Music Contest which was held in Aberdeen in May. The A Cappella Choir received special recognition in both the state and national contests. Organizing the many activities of the A Cappella Choir is the duty of its officers: President, Marilyn Tostenrud; Vice-President, Stanley Klvve; Secretary, George Lindboc. An efficient new system has been used this year in which two chosen members of each section of the choir act as section leaders. These leaders take roll call, and confer with Miss Mever on various ideas for improvement in the choir. Section leaders were: sopranos, Joan Allen and Mary Leni-han; altos, Myra Hinds and Dorothy Hopp; tenors. Stanley Klvve and Stanley Gunderson: basses. Duane Birrenkott and George Lindboe.
