The bonds ond color guord entered mony porodes ond competitions where they did exceptionally well, bringing home nu- merous trophies ond owords. The onncol spring tour wos concelled this yeor, however, becouse dll funds went toword purchosing new uniforms. Due to the growing number of bond members, new uniforms were purchosed to reploce the sixteen -yeor-old ones. Money for the new uniforms wos roised through vorious fund-rosing octivities such os o condle sole, o turlsey roffle for Thonlssgiving, o volentine's flower sole ond the onnuol bond morothon.
