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.

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.
