66 Music Thundering sounds rumble from field Booming drums, blaring trumpets, and waving flags were only a part of the Colonial Heights High School Band's production this year. Whether an assembly, pep rally, or game, the band provided the audience with music which inspired foot stomping and hand clapping. In addition to the music, the maiorettes and minutemaids added a touch of beauty to the performance. The aurora of red, white, and blue flags was stirring, and sparkling batons dazzled the viewers. Practice makes perfect appeared to be the motto of the band, and the trophies earned proved it true. Almost every day the thunder- ing yell of Mr. Dowdy's At ease! , Atten- tion! , and One more time, band! could be heard on the practice field. 1. Inspiring the fans and the players with a song, the band adds to the exuberant cheers of the cheerleaders. 2. Three trumpet players play the music they have practiced long and hard. 3. Assembling on the field, the band poses for its football program picture. Malornttn: Front row: Sheila Kollman. Second vow: Joanne Walls, Debbie Chialay, Fury Jo Hurd.

Tapping ceremony follows new format Flickering candles carried by National Honor Society members signified the beginning of the '73-'74 tapping ceremony. Members dressed in long, black robes slowly proceeded down each aisle of the auditorium eventually reaching the stage. The guest speaker at the assembly was Mr. James McNeer, who talked about honor in today's society. The January l8 tapping ceremony consisted of 8 Seniors and 37 Juniors being officially initiated into the National Honor Society. ln this ceremony, a new procedure was followed in which all new- ly tapped members knew beforehand about their acceptance into the organization. After controversial discussions, Honor Society members and the administration decided upon the different format. Participating in a worthy and unique plan, members made an effort to aid fellow students through a tutoring program. The program was set up in the cafeteria before school as a beneficial service for the student body. Another activity which was undertaken by the members of the club occurred in August when they provided refreshments at the Freshman Orientation. Thus, in the past year, National Honor Society members attempted not only to recognize deserving students but also to serve the entire student body to an extent. l. With cake in hands, Marla Yancey and other newly tapped members enioy the refreshments provided after the ceremony. 2. Glum expressions cover the faces of NHS members as they discuss the new tapping procedure at one of their meetings. 3. Addressing the student body from the podium, David Ferry, NHS president, begins the ceremony in which new members are tapped. l YA. 11 'rw Ia, 1 x .55 uif S . la' ' :T ' l -1' ' 4
