BAND The Band is greatly appreciated for its performances at the football games. Not only does it provide the musical entertainment, but it is an essential back- ground for the Drill Team and the center of Quincy’s cheering squad, believe it or not! ! This group, under the supervision of Mr. Ivar O. Nelson, has lived up to the record made by previous Quincy High School bands at the State Festival and should be resplendent in its new uniforms at the graduation ceremonies. President James Leone is ably assisted in his official duties by John Sterling, vice president: William Wcstberg, secretary; and Arthur Gossard, treasurer. Who will ever forget the trombone section in the Rampage of the Old Grey Mare?” ORCHESTRA You say small organization?” It's quality that counts! ! While we were rushing madly to get to school on time, the orchestra with Miss Margaret Tuthill as director had been diligently rehearsing from 8:00 to 0:00 every Thursday morning for the past year. The orchestra, combining with North, performed publicly this Spring at the annual Instrumental Concert held at Quincy High School. ■
