Mile of Pennies was Stage Bands' most productive fund raising project. At both Stage and Concert Bands played, S110 was collected from on-looking Spencer residents. During the concert, Spencer police chief, Elgin Rayburn, tried his hand at directing the band. Throughout the year, the band came up with many unique methods of raising money for sound equip- ment. The ten-piece string orchestra is conducted by Mrs. Jane Webb. l l STAGE BAND--Front Row: R. Pratt, A. Dinwiddie, M. Brookerson, M. Earnest, A. lard, R. Pratt, D. Syth, Mr. J.

Morning practices . . . Long and weary hours reward musicians . . . S-SHS band members stuck out chilly morning practices and repeat- edly going over marches to present their numbers before crowds at home games. Sporting brand-new blue and white uniforms, Star-Spencer's band performed in various contests and Star-Spencer's Band Day , as well as during the half-time of football games. Yonni Lillard, sr., and Robert Pratt, sr., led the band drum major- ette and major. Both accomplished musicians, Yonni played clarinet and Robert distinguished himself on the cornet. First hour band class was rarely held in a classroom. Frequently in- structions were carried out on the football field or on the lawn in front of the school.
