The Groveton High School band played several selections. FUN FOR EVERYONE In school most things would sure be dull If we had no sports to till the lull. Studies have no special attraction to us, But in sports all certainly make a fuss. In fall the boys' interest is all in track. Their feet are sore and so is each back, But prizes are given and it holds much fun. And for the school much glory is won. In winter comes the sport best liked by all. Everyone enjoys playing basketball, To watch the boys in hasty speed, Dribbling down the floor, when points they need, And watch the cheerleaders shouting loud. Cheering our team before the crowd. And best of all when the game is done. Everyone's praised for the honor won. In spring, of course, it's a softball game That leaves the girls all stiff and lame. And for the boys, well, baseball is here, And it's also nearly the end of the year And after this the year is done. We've lost some games and also won, But now there's swimming and tennis and stuff That helps the summer pass fast enough. And when the summer has come to an end. Everyone's waiting for school again, Because, well the reason is very clear. Sports are back-stand up and cheer! Judith Treamer Opposite Page Typing Class - Shop - Home Economics

Groveton High School Band . Under the direction of Mr, Louis E. Micucci the Groveton High School Band had a very successful year. On November 4, 1954, the members of the band met to organize into a club. The following officers were elected: Assistant conductor, George Marting President, Richard Nugent, Vice President, Jack Lynch, Sec- retary-Reporter, Bethany Potter, Asst. Sec.-Report er, Brenda York, Treasurer, Noel Nugentg Libra- rian, Linwood Carverg Sergeant-at-arms, Reginald Zanes, Asst. Sergt.-at-arms, Robert Nugent. The purpose of organizing into a club was to help the members work more closely together, to give them a voice in the bands affairs, and to have more band projects. In the fall the band received new uniforms. They consisted of white pants, purple capes with gray lining, and purple hats. These uniforms keep the band's spirits up and give them pride when they play in public. The band played for many activities during the past year: P. T. A., the Junior and Senior plays, school assemblies, parades, and several concerts, including beneht concerts for the new uniforms and for the polio drive, and the annual Christmas and Spring Concerts. They also played for the Republican Rally in Lancaster. The biggest thing of the year was when we went to Manchester to play in the huge parade that was a celebration of the N. H. State Teachers Association Centennial. The parade was made up of bands and floats from towns all over the state of New Hampshire. The band consisted of 39 players, who had re- hearsals twice a week. Individual or group lessons were held once or twice a week. Several new instruments were obtained for the band during the year. These included a baritone saxophone, a brass clarinet, and a tuba. These in- struments were the only ones of their kind in the band and they certainly added a lot to the music. Sharon Macloon, George Martin, Anna Sawyer, and Thomas Platt went to Durham, N. H., March 12, to play with the University of New Hampshire Band in the New Music Festival. Four members of the band,'George Martin, Anna Sawyer, Thomas Platt and Dick Nugent, were chosen as members of the All-State Band which gave a 0011091-t in Claremont, N. H., on March 31 and April 1. Philip Nelson was chosen to play his violin in the All- State Orchestra at Claremont.
