West Point High School - Cadet Yearbook (West Point, NE)

Forty-one talented musicians bedecked in flashing new red and white uniforms, many hours of early-morning practice, a few snappy marching routines, and a new and enthusiastic director, Mr. A1 Clement, combined to make the Cadet band one of which we are really proud. During the football season the band led the down-town pep rallies, participated in the homecoming parade and crowning festivities, and presented half-time marching maneuvers at the games. A pep band provided music for the basketball rallies and games. Traveling to Wayne for their homecoming parade, marching at Stanton and Scribner, giving a Winter Concert on December 21, and playing host to Northeast Nebraska schools at the Band Clinic on February 10 were the highlights of the year. This year the members elected Donna Lee Solfermoser, president; Marilyn Senden, vice-president; Merle Fegley, sergeant at arms; and Bonnie Peterson, librarian. Joyce Stratton and Mary Jean Leisy were the majorettes who led the band. A Big Occasion Approximately 250 students were present for the band clinic and presented a concert in the evening. Dancing in the late afternoon provided a bit of relaxation. (plcujsuL On, Second row: Beverly Woodka, Carolyn Gelster, Joan Erickson. LaVem Metzger, Merle Fegley, Joan Lausen. Morilyn French.

Such words can be heard from the lips of music director, Mr. A1 Clement, during practice periods In all the vocal groups the students worked enthusiastically to increase their musical knowledge and ability. The enjoyment alone of singing in a group is enough reward for the work, but an added benefit gained is learning the co-operation which is necessary in group activities. First row: C. Haeffolin, N.
