CADET BAND The Cadet Band was just getting back on its feet again, after a year of ab- sence, due to the change over from the four year to three year high school. The Cadet Band played for some reserve football games and all parades during the school year. What they lacked in num- bers, they make up in spirit and effort. Mr. Stark was their director. PEP BAND Our Pep Band lent spirit as well as entertainment to the crowds attending the basketball games. TWIRLERS The hard working Drum Major and the equally capable Drum Majorettes deserve recognition for their many performances. Our skillful twirlers per- formed at numerous school functions through- out the year. Left to right are Pat O'Connor, Clara Dunn, Arlene McNett, Don Closs, Elnora Crosby, Elaine Bartlett, and Sue Purves. T ., 5 Q Cadet Band members include: Barber, Barstow, Cadman Cordes Corner, Cross, Fick, Gray, Hazzard, Horsley, Isham, Jensen Johnson Key, Loucks, McIntyre, Palmateer, Powell, Ranger, Retherford Rose Sherk, Stewart, Youngs. 4? fi

SENIOR BAND June, 1952 will mark the closing of a very successful year for the Senior High Band. Dining the gala football season, the band was honored with an invitation to play for the zone meetingof the Michigan State Teachers Association, held annually in Flint. The trip to Flint was combined with a tour of the Buick plant by the band. The Elks club sponsored a Saginaw this year with the football team. Hard work for the annual concert, in conjunction with the Boys' Glee Club, was climaxed in February. The 24th annual B1ue Note Bounce sponsored by the Band Club added a sparkin the school activities. Many long hours of practice were spent in preparation for the District Festival held at Mr. Pleasant during the month of March. A high rating at Mr. Pleasant meant the band also attended the State Festival at East Lansing, Michigan. An annual spring concert, given by all the music department served as the grand finale of the year. So the seniors could end on a hi h note the band played a Pop'sconcert in the band shell S . the last week of school. 4a Senior Band Members - - 1951 - 52 Adams, Amstutz, Armstrong, Arndt, I.

Mary Sloan spent many worthwhile hours practicing on her violin. ORCHESTRA This year the orchestra saw new heights under their inspiring conductor, Mr. Guenther. More and harder compositions were performed this year than ever before. Oklahoma, Show Boat, and the Jamaican Rumba were among the more popular selections they did. Among their more serious selections were Dances from Henry VIII and Themes from the Rochmaninoff Piano Concerto. The students throughly enjoyed the several assemblies for which the orchestra played. The orchestra gave its own evening concert and played outside of school many times. Since improvement will always be their goal, more will be heard from the orchestra in the fu- ture.
