Holiday for Strings Good music has become an important part in the life of Sidney High School students. Along with the other music groups, we find that our orchestra has contributed much to our school and community. Several members of this group come to us from our Junior High School. This means that these students will have considerable experi- ence in orchestral work before entering high school. The orchestra has made several public appearances. They played for the Junior Class play, the Christmas program, Education Week program, and in addition, have assisted in many other school and public programs. Because of war time transportation difficulties, there have been no music contests for the past two years. However, this has not damp- ened their ardor for practice and presenting a first rate performance. When conditions return to normal, there is no doubt but that all Sidney music groups will again bring home high ratings. All music students are doing a fine job, and we are proud of them. 1Page Twenty-sevenl

Music Makers Under the capable leadership of Mr. Paul Sell and Mr. Alvin Duis, the band has reached new and higher goals. The band has played for such occasions as the football games, Armistice Day, school assemblies, and parades. In their uniforms of maroon and black with gold braid, they add color and festivity to any program. The smart military bearing of this group is well known to all Sidney citizens as they watch the band pass in review. Color and spirit are added to all of our football and basketball games as the music of the school song is heard. In addition to the splendid training obtained from participa- tion in the large group, many members receive special training in small group ensembles. The band has always been one of Sidney's largest musical or- ganizations. The leaders and members of the band deserve much credit for their fine work. iPage Twenty-six!

Future Farmers of America This is a National Organization of boys studying Vocational Agriculture. The Sidney chapter of F. F. A. has the following as its aims and purposes: 1. To develop competent, aggressive, rur- al, and agricultural leadership. To create and nurture a love of country life. 3. To strengthen the confidence of farm boys and young men in themselves and their work. 4. To develop character, train for useful citizenship, and foster patriotism. 5. To participate in cooperative effort. 6. To encourage and practice thrift. 7. To encourage improvement in scholar- ship. The club is active in scrap drives, bond sales, and food production to aid the war ef- fort. During the year a large amount of farm equipment is built and repaired for the farms of Cheyenne County by the members. Prob- ably the outstanding activity of the club for the year was the enrollment of O. S. Y. A. fOut of School Youth and Adulty night classes. This has been an annual activity of the F. F.
