Membership in Soldan-Blewett Concert Band is attained by examination. The Board of Educa- tion furnishes the large instruments, uniforms, and music. Students furnish the smaller instru- ments. The Concert Band meets daily in the IA period. Every member of the band is also a member of the Band Advisory. The student assistant director, Ierry Rosenblum, has been very active and helpful in building a good organization. When there is need for an orchestra, the strings from the intermediate group combine with part of the band, The instrumental director, R. D. Sorrells, is working every afternoon in the ele- mentary grades of four schools. This promises to rebuild the orchestra and band groups which have been falling off in the past two or three years.

MONEY TALKS g0l a 3,,fff7.,,m ,JJEJP During the second period each morning, a group composed of students from each advisory group and under the sponsorship of Miss McDermott meets in room 2ll to transact a part of the financial business of the school. This group is known as Agora, which is the Greek word for meeting place. As can easily be seen the name is very proper because room Zll serves as a meeting place for the student representatives to transact their business. The Agora representatives sell the Spotlight and Reflector as well as various athletic tickets, and receipts are turned in during their daily meeting. To simplify the collections, the group is divided into ten teams, each of which is headed by a captain. The members of each team turn in their money to their captain, who in turn de- posits it with the tellers. wjtw ttffl, Wai V rj osen a yle Schaller U lauf Saiger Alper, Payeur, M., Brasch, Kidder, Schneider, Furfine.
