The concert band has been most ac- tive this year. Presenting a show at halftime the band marched in uniform at each home football game. Directed by Mr. Harned, it took part in the music department assembly programs at Christmas and Thanksgiving, and pre- sented one program alone. It also pre- sented a spring concert and toured cities in northern Illinois. Each year the band sends several soloists and small ensem- bles to the State contest. In addition to the large concert band there is a subordinate band. The Fresh- man Band is made up of prospective members who need a little more season- ing for the Concert Band. They receive special instruction and must pass a test before they may become full fledged members ofthe Concert Band. The Basketball Band supplies rousing mu- sic at home basketball games. This is a select group from the concert band, numbering about twenty-five. Ours is considered among the best high school bands in northern Illinois, and Belvidere High is justly proud of it.

It was founded in 1944 by Mr. Moss, who, with Mr. Meyer- hofer, co-advises the present club. Industrial and vocational arts stu- dents work two periods a day in the machine shop, learning by exper- ience the fundamentals of industry. A year's work includes shopwork, drafting, movies, and talks by in- dustrial leaders. The officers went to Springfield early in October to take part in a leadership training course. Classes were held in which officers learned what their specific duties were and discussed parliamentary procedure. A credit system was used this year in which members must have eight credits to stay in the club, twelve to buy a pin or jacket, and sixteen to go on the Chicago trip. The credits may be earned by serving on committees, working in the check room, and volunteering to work on the Mexican carts, which are a major source of income. At the end of the year those who qualified took part in the annual trip to Chicago. On April 5, the local club presen ted a program on WREX-TV in Rock- ford, promoting the organization of similar clubs throughout the state. 7 ' da Mike Morris, Ron Concialdi, and Dale Everson head the drafting The president addresses the banqueteers. class. 5 :sept .
