Of this number ten are seniors who will probably be replaced next year by six high school beginners and five members of the grade band who will enter next fall. Betty White has been the drum majorette this year and Gene Hoke the librarian. ln addition to the regular concert band there are several ensembles who expect to enter the spring contests. They are as follows: one B Clarinet quartet, one French Horn quartet, one saxophone quartet, and one brass quartet. Gene Haney, William Bryner, Marjorie Ryan, David Wise, Rose Stock, William Oye, and Billy Watkins will also participate in the contests as soloists. The band began its activities this year with a public appearance at the football games. They are to be particularly commended for their part in the Homecoming parade and the field show which was given during the halves of the game. ln addition to school functions they appeared in the Army-Navy E program given by the Progress Manufacturing Co. They also led the Hal- loween parade which was given for the public. The Winter concert presented December l7th proved such a success that plans are being made for a spring concert which is an annual affair. Versatility is one of the bands outstanding traits. They have played everything from super-fine to boogie-Woogie , the latter was a pleasant surprise to the basketball fans. Members of the group plan to participate in the Band Clinic with Mt. Zion, Cerro Gordo, Sullivan, and other schools this spring. They will also be entered in the district solo and ensemble contest, April 2lg the section solo and ensemble contest, May 5, and the recital of solos and ensembles on April 8. The school is proud of this fine organization and its director, Mr. Smith. 26
