Gonna! Banc! The Concert Band has the distinction of being the only uniformed band in the District high schools. Besides receiving instruction in basic music techniques, the members are taught how to use their leisure time in a worthwhile manner. The band is run as a demo- cratic society, and its officers are frequently permitted to conduct rehearsals. David Roth, this year's student leader, is qualified to officiate in the absence of the faculty instructor, Mr. Butterworth. The band is also a service organization and its members are awarded school letters for participation in after-school pro- grams. All types of music from marches and popular tunes to symphonies and classical selections are played on such occasions as Home and School meetings, receptions for dignitaries, and neighborhood parades.

The organization affords interested students an oppor- tunity to widen their acquaintance with music, and gives them a substantial background for professional work in this field. Instruments owned by the school are also made available. Although small in numbers, the orchestra functions like a chamber music society, similar to the groups they may join after graduation. In preparing programs the members are given a voice in the choice of selections. After experimenting with suggested compositions, the boys and girls vote on those which they feel will be most entertaining. Di- rected by Mr. Butterworth, the orchestra provides music for the operetta, dramatic club presentations, graduation exercises, senior dinners, and assemblies. ROW I: Mr. Butte-rworlh. ,laniv Moorc.

aw sag For many years the Anacostia High School Bank has served not only our own faculty and student body, but also neighboring junior high and elemen- tary schools. Under the direction of Mr. Turpin. tht- staff records deposits and withdrawals, handles the money collected in the cafeteria. keeps the accounts of school organizations, and sells bus and athletic tickets and school supplies. The procedures followed in all transactions are similar to those of a regular bank, so that students who elect this activity re- ceive excellent vocational training. RUF' 1: lhl?1XlIif' Thrift.
