The next operetta was Carousel Coping the main leads in this famous Rogers and Hammerstein work were Larry Nussmeyer, Sandy Moore, Rita Sourhwood.

Band,Orchestra Win State l-lon THE MARCHING BAND and concert orchestra, bustin ' out with eighty-six members in the first and forty members in the last, have presented Bosse with one of its biggest mu- sical years. The marching band, under the direction of Larry johnson, functioned from the very beginning of school, at the first pep assembly and first football game. Heading the eighty member organization were band officers Von Siekman, captain, Bill Chapman, first lieutenant, john James. drum majorg and Mar- garet Farley, adiutant. Second lieutenants were Gordon Seif- fert, Bruce Blackburn, Sue Kaetzel and Roger Hotz. Maiorette co-captains were Pat Cobb and Pat Ulsas. The others in the corps were Suzy Graupner, Jackie Hartig, Pat Stevenson and Nancy Fisher. THROUGHOUT THE SEASON, the band used new steps and flashy entrances for razzle-dazzle displays at pre-game and halftime shows. A World Series show, featuring a ptancing majorette infield, and the Rhythm and jazz show, highlight- ing the band itself in dance routines. were big hits. The latter show used two girls with fire batons and a blacked-out field with the band playing background music by Stan Kenton. Following the football season the band settled down to concerts. while the dance band organized a club. The Dixie- Kittens, including john james, Bruce Blackburn, Don Campf bell, Byron Schoolfield, Roger Hotz, David Barr and Bob J lrepuring for if duel are fflfl' cert orrbertm headr.
