INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC Mr. Iochumsen not only guides Bob Low in learning to play his comet but in making minor repairs, also. Marching Band Pep Band Concert Band Small Ensembles BAND ATTEN-HUT! Drmmm, Drmmm, Drm, Drm, Drm filled the air as the MARCHING BAND took off for the football field. Special maneuvers and intricate dance steps were a part of the halftime performances. Fire batons, baton ensembles and graceful flag routines added spark and color to the band. With the approach of the basketball season, a select group of musicians formed a PEP BAND. China Boy', Tiger Rag and the new College Songs book were the favorite selections chosen to engender more school spirit in the atmosphere. Should a passer-by meander into the band room around 11:00 A.M. on Monday, Wednesday, or Friday, it would become evident to him that the use of technique drills and tuning periods were shaping the CONCERT BAND for the band booster series. Two of the unique concerts of the series were the annual Pop concert and the introduction of the band demcnstratlon. The latter stressed the wcrk of a band rehearsal period. Though instrumental drilling may seem tiring and useless, band students find many pleasant memories built around trips and festivals. Picking out a good reed is important business to these clarinet students. KDon Carlos, Herrmann, Longeneckerj Mary and Patsy are quite convinced they have a future drummer in their midst.

The development of VOCAL MUSIC begins with a small child's nursery rhymes progressing with the simple songs of grade school. Harmony originates in Junior High and continues into adult life. Senior High offers various musical groups and activities for further training. Students partic- ipated in vocal festivals and presented seasonal concerts. After much hard work in preparation, students are deeply rewarded by an appreciative audience. A most challenging endeavor in this field is contest work. There, knowledge and skill acquired are shown. Constructive criticisms are received to encourage one on to higher heights and better performances in coming years.

GIRLS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION An angel stand requires a good sense of balance and steady legs. Iudy Iosephson seems to be quite at ease while Peggy Hager lends a supporting hand to Ianice Stever. Athletic prowess develops the personality as well as the body. Good sportsmanship was stressed throughout each activity in GIRLS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION classes . Various ex- ercises were practiced to evoke gracefulness and agility. Activities such as soccer, volleyball, and basketball sharpened the girls' alertness and reactive decisions. The challenging feats of tumbling required artistic equilibrium. A feeling of liveliness and gaiety permeated the atmosphere of the gymnasium as folk music filled the air. Through an exaggerated degree of proper walking fundamentals, good posture was emphasized. Get a load of those gams ............. . . . ! I I 26 I
