Band Has Active Year The thirty-eight piece band, also under the direction of Mr. Angermeyr played for all home football games and for several away from home. Their marching, accompa- nied by the fast-stepping of the graceful majorettes, was always very enjoyable, and when the strains of The Slew Spangled Banner began, the effect was most impressive. Some of the band's other appearances were at the annual U. of A. Band Day, the State lfair, the Salad Bowl Parade, the Street Dedication in Avondale, and at Patrons' Day. ln the band there is a saxophone quartette, a novelty group called the flungry Five, and a swing band of nine pieces. Several new instruments were added to the band this year. They are a set of tympani drums, a souzaphone, and a baritone saxophone. Officers of the L.l-LS. Band for 1951-52 were Ronald Turnbow, president, Mar- jorie Cooper, first vice-president, and Laddie Coor, secretary. First Row: Mr. Angermeyr, Johns, Moreno, Lynn, Clarino, Weedon, J. Myers, Gross.

Chorus Sings at Pageant Throughout the Christmas Pageant, which was presented on the evenings of Decem- ber 19 and 20, the gym Was filled with the beautiful melodies of the beloved Christmas carols as they Were sung by the L.H.S. chorus under the direction of Mr. Vvilliam An- germeyr. From the beginning, with the singing of the Carol of the Shepherds for the can- dlelight processional to the concluding number, Silent Nighz, the chorus produced a per-- fect mood for the scenes. O Holy Nighf, with a solo part sung by Nancy Schuster, and Today There I5 Ringing Were two of the particularly pleasing numbers. On Music Night, Nlarch 7, the chorus again made a public appearance and beautifully rendered such numbers as Sweet Georgia Brown, The Green Cathedral, The Deserl Sang, Give XVI e One Honi' and Thnnzleiz The accompanist for the chorus at the Christmas Pageant and on Mtisic Night was Pauline Jefferies. The membership of the chorus was around sixty. The band, pictured on the next page, also gave an excellent performance on Music Night. Beginning with The Star Spangled Banner they presented a varied and most pleas- ing program. Two of their most popular numbers were Baafinage for Bra55e5 and VVag- gery for VV001Zwin1is. Three solo numbers were played: My Regaifafs, a trumpet solo by Laddie Coor, Garvofle, a clarinet solo by Russel Killip, and Design for Claifinel, a clarinet solo by Jack Pierce. Q42

H LOVELY PAT ACKMAN Litchfield High Princess, as she rode in the Salad Bowl Parade. L. H. S. Adds Color to Parade Litchfield High was well represented in the 1952 Salad Bowl Parade. Charming iPAT ACKMAN made a perfect showing as the princess. The colorful float, which Was very original, had for its theme Arizona's need for Water. The fast-stepping band, as snappy as ever, did an excellent version of the 'fBoogie. On the page to the right may be seen the marching hand and the float. 1449
