Directed by Kenneth E. Foust, the F. H. S. band has earned a unique reputation among musical organizations in the state. Comprising seventy pieces, this year s group is a tribute to persever- ance and skill of Mr. Faust, who assumed the direvtorship five years ago when the organization was less than half its present size. On September 4, the band played at the annual Nebraska State Fair in Lincoln. On October ll, they returned to Lincoln to participate in the annual Band Day held in connection with CI University of Nebraska football game. Forty bands were represented in the latter festival. Another major event in the bands calendar was the annual midfwinter concert on February lil, at which the F. H. S. musicians proved their ability as concert artists as well as marchers. A banquet, given by the parents, was held on March l3. Other band activities during the year included playing in the rodeo parade and at the Iefferson County Fair, playing at all home football games and most of the home basketball games, both high school and junior college, traveling tc Line coln for the Fairbury-Northeast football game, participating in the annual Christmas parade, appearing at the Defense Bond rally, playing at student convocationsg parading prior to the ann nual spring opening downtown, and sending rep resentatives to the annual district music contest, At the district contest, held in Geneva, soloists and small groups chosen from the band upheld the tradition of the organization by capturing l'superior ratings with monotonous regularity. Another event on the calendar for district win- ners is the National Regional Contest, to be held in Omaha on May 8 and 9.

....f'-0 'W Speech Arts - - The speech arts department achieved another step in its moderization program when last spring, speech students sponsored Footsteps in the Dark at the Bonham Theater-proceeds of which purchased a Gay-Wilcox Recordio. At a convocation matinee, dramatic students Ianet Barr, Wilbert Marting, and Rex Thomas pre- sented The Prairie Doll. Why the Chimes Rang had a repertoire of performances with Rex Thomas, Wilbert Marting, lean Friesen, Floy Har- lan, and Marian McKeever in principal roles. ln the F. H. S. speech and dramatics classes, considerable use is made of local history and student artistic talent in building speeches. ln the upper photograph tlettl, Ianet Barr is giving historical data based on a pictorial map of Nebraska made by her and other speech students. One of the most interesting and val- uable ot the projects in speech classes is the making of recordings. ln the lower photograph tlettl, Flor- inne Glebe is reading script while lack Breazeale manipulates the re- corder. Cornhusk Doll played a circuit of local or- ganizations with Bill Doughty, Calvin Hager, Dorothy Mees, Colleen Gregory, and Donna Leon- ard in the cast. The Wishing Fairy was the marionette show for the season, produced by lean Friesen, Irene Schoenrock, Betty Klein and Dorothy Iohnson. At the Kearney Forensic Contest, William Ford placed first in radio newscasting, Calvin Hager, superior in original oratory, and Richard Dove, second in after-dinner speaking.
