juniar Hand 'sa M 0...- -,,..-f The JUNIOR BAND under the direction of Mr. Leo Kelly is a preparatory course for musicians who will later enter the high school hand. The group is generally built around seventh graders who have started their musical training before entering junior high. However, any student in senior or junior high school who wants to he- come a member of the high school band has to start his training in the junior group. The key to any good marching group is found in the skill of its DRl'Nl lNl.'XJOll and MAJORETTES. MHS is indeed fortunate to have a fine group of haton toters. Majorettes are Sharon McDonald. Sandra Merrill. Patsy Dennis. Patsy Rogers. Sig- rid Lewis, Norma Lebsack. Kay Cashen and Joyce McDonald. Jon Dawson has served in the capacity as drum major the past year. . Q 4 Q0 wh . 'Q
