Gray Breadn, the Junior play, received an Excellent rating at the Drake Play Festival in Des Moines.

The Senior Band consisted of sixty-seven mem- bers from all grades starting at the fourth grade. Some of the activities of the band are playing for programs, assemblies, regular concerts and assist with programs such as P.T.A., and at basketball games. The goals of the band are to be well bal- anced, play all types of music, to be of service to the community, and learn to read easy music at sight. The band program gives to the students training in dependability, self esteem, physical alertness, sportsmanship, cooperation, punctuality, and self control. Our band has been successful at contests. Last year the band got a rating of one at the state con- test playing the numbers Eroica and Mexican Overturev. This year the band will play Bach Bouquet and 'Symphony in B . Of all the en- sembles and solos going to contest, Armstrong brings back about three-fourths of first ratings. -24-
