+ MUSIC The BCHS Band under the direction of Ernest Beerends has had a very successful year. At the first meeting of the band 63 members reported and elected the following officers: President, Bob Boggs; Vice President, Jack Nicklos; Secretary, Dorothy Rawlings; Treasurer, Frank Faucett; Librarian, Sammy Con-sonero. Bob Biggs was the Student Council Representative and Student Director. The first concert put on by the band was “Stunt Night.” Many town organizations participated in the program to help the band in raising money for their new uniforms. Patron of Music Tickets were again sold to the public for all band concerts. The next concert was January 14, and then followed several concerts at Fort Lyon for the enjoyment of the patients and exchange concerts were held with Lamar, McClave. and La Junta. The band performed at the football games and the Pep Band played at the basketball games, introducing, in the Arkansas Valley, the new idea of performing on the floor during half time of the games. The band was also heard at pep rallies and at the Democratic rally. A benefit box supper was held in the High School gym to help pay for the new uniforms. A hill-billy band from Florence played for the occassion. GLEE CLUBS The Boys and Girls Glee Club, also under the direction of Mr. Beerends, participated in the Music Contest at La Junta on April 25. As far as the Glee Clubs were concerned the contest was more of a Festival since no vocal ratings were given. The judges merely criticized the singing. The Girls Club had 105 members while the Boys had 46 members. The high spot in the life of the ’47 band was the contest at La Junta, April 11 and 25. At the solo contest on the 11th, Berdette Graves brought home a superior rating as did the Clarinet Quartette which consisted of Elsie Banta, Alvena Shenk, Frances Logsdon, and Dorothy Rawlings. Thirteen other soloists and ensembles performed that day to make a fine name for Bent County High School. At the contest held two weeks later the band received a rating of Superior Plus, the highest rating given any organization that day. The same day the band marched in a parade of all the bands that participated in the contest. Doris Ann Turner, as head majorette, and Dorothy Ann Martin and Jean Taliaferro led the marching band. This summer Mr. Beerends is planning on continuing the music program for the band members and any town people or college students who wish to participate. Quite a few of the band members are planning on going to the Gunnison Band Camp for weeks this summer. Till | on» ore«l by Nnfloiinl Alfiilfn llehydrillinn and Milling Co. Twenty-nine
