When the band, in their smart red and black uniforms, parades down the field before the foot- ball or track enthusiasts who crowd the stadium, each heart loyal to Kim-ent beats a little faster. As the Colonels go marching along, the spirit of cooperation which has became a symbol of our school is brought to the attention ol' all. Behind this impressive array are many hours of hard and diligent. practice. The tiring hours ol' drilling were lightened by the example set by a new band member, our snappy drum majorette. During the band's two day trip to Hamilton, Ontario, the honor and prestige of Strong Vincent High School was greatly increased by their splendid showing. Three of the bands members have won the highest possible honors for themselves and for their school by earning a lirst place in the all state musical linals. The band, an organization that, is rapidly growing in size and importance, offers a splendid opportunity to any boy who plays an instrument.

To pay for these robes, each girl payed for her seven dollar budget, with the money she earned by conducting popcorn sales and food sales. Being a group which believes in having fun While doing their necessary work, tl1ese girls have also held several roller skating parties to raise some of their money. Since early September, the Girls Chorus has worked hard to blend their voices into a har- monious and pleasing whole. They have joined in two concerts with the A Cappella choir to show to all their melodious results which only hard work and diligent practice can produce. Not only have they earned money for their own treasury, but they have also been instrumental in helping the Brass Choir. GIRLS CHORUS-Row 1 A new musical organization has entered Yincent since last fall, and it is proving to bea very important part of our large musical depart- ment. This mixed choir has been organized to give a larger number of senior high school students the chance to blend their voices together under expert supervision. This choir has often been termed the Junior A Cappella for its main purpose is to train mem- bers for that larger group. Upon its members rests the success or failure of the A Cappella. They have sung in nearby schools and have given concerts where they have been lauded fo-r their splendid work. They have joined with the other musical groups to purchase a new recording machine which will preserve their voices for future choirs.

John Ramsay Brown-University of Pittsburgh, New England Conservatory. Band, Orchestra. George J. Yochim-BS. lidinboro State Teachers College, Indiana State Teachers College. Brass Choir, The members of the orchestra have formed a symphony in miniature Whose varied programs rival those of many larger and more experienced groups. During the second period, the sixty- three members learn greater appreciation of fine music and at the same time learn to produce pleasing harmonies. The majority of those who are selected to play in the instrumental section of student sponsored auditorium programs are out- standing members of the orchestra. This group gives frequent full length assembly programs where the prolonged applause of an appreciative audience is ample reward for their untiring efforts. Eagerly awaited high lights in our musical season are the winter and spring concerts which are annually presented by the orchestra and band for the purpose of showing the hard earned ac- complishments to parents and students. The Brass Choir, an organization which has recently celebrated its first anniversary, has every reason to be proud of its overwhelming accomplish- ments. Unselfishly relinquishing their vacations, these girls met four times each week during the summer months to prepare themselves for the prospective football season. This was an astound- ing task, for the majority of the girls had never played any sort of an instrument and none of them had ever played in a large group. During the first week of school, the members of the Brass Choir practiced for many long hours until they could march Well enough to play for the first game. When this group of forty seven marched into the stadium, the spectators were pleasantly surprised by their unparalleled playing and march- ing. This past winter they have played in many neighboring high schools and are now planning to take many longer trips. The fact that they have earned every penny of the money to pay for their uniforms is in itself astonishing. For those who wish to join this organization, a beginners class is being conducted.
