When school opened last fall, we were all in hopes of occupynig a new bandroom, but when building com- plications set in, we once more crowded ourselves and our instruments into the old bandroom. Shortly, af- ter we were organized in the old room, word came to us that we were to move into our new quarters on the third floor so the agriculture classes could meet in our room We were all greatly amazed at the amount of room we had in our new bandroom, We could actually stretch our feet out in front of us! We were in such a hub-bub that we completely for- got about electing officers, but Donald Dorr and Gerald Fredrick were selected as color guards and our twirlers 9 ffli. larilyn Kildow, Jean Gregoire, Patricia Schumacher, Dorothy retchell. lc lbnrntliy th-ti'lii-ll, l':iti'ir-in Si'litiin:ii-livr. were Marilyn Kildow, maior, .lean Gregoire, Patricia Schumacher, Dorothy Getchell, and Mary Ellen Dickhotf. Football season was soon upon us and naturally we played for the Homecoming parade and game. Mrs, Pritchett, our very able and enthusiastic director, ob- tained a book of special formations for ball games and other such occasions, and we chose The Compass and The Jack o'Lantern formations to perform during half-time. The Compass consisted of a huge circle and a dial, made up of band members. The dial moved to the North and the band played Jingle Bells , then it moved to the East and Sidewalks of New York was played, then to the South with the playing of Swanee River and finally to the West and the band played Home on the Range. The other formation was a huge Jack-o'Lantern. The band first formed the eyes, nose and mouth, as Peter, Peter, Pumpkin - Eater was played. The members in the eyes and nose dropped their caps where they were standing and formed an outside circle around the face. When in their places, the drums began to roll mysteriously, the cymbals clanged noisily and the rest of the band ioinecl in ghost music as the mouth of Jack turned very sad. A great deal of credit for this exhibition should go to Gordon Drake, who worked with Mrs. Pritchett to make it a success. Soon the basketball season was underway and the Pep Band played at every game and was asked by Milton College to play at one of their home games. About fifteen members were present and every mem- ber did his best to make a good showing, which they did!
