This, one of the most important musical organ- izations in B. H. S., is the ultimate goal of every instrumentalist of the school, whether he puffs on a tuba or trills on a flute. Any student interested may join the Junior band which had fifty-five members this year. After much time and hard work in this organization, the student ' s ambition is at least realized — he has finally become a mem- ber of the Butler High School Band. This year the band, consisting of fifty-two members, was kept busy with many activities. After the school term began, the members strived for perfect marching drills. On October 31 they placed second in the state marching contest at Columbia City. Then came detailed practice and the tearing down of difficult parts into comprehensible notes. The band played at the Auburn Fair and later at home ball games. On April 2 they participated in the District Contest at Waterloo. To demonstrate the re- sults of hard work during the year, the organization played in the annual Spring Music Festival on April 3. The Butler High School Band has fun, seriousness, and work which no one would want to miss. —20—

Below, left: Mary Korsmeyer, Editor. Below, right: Tom Broom, Mr. McCrory, Beverly Carr, and Mary Korsmeyer planning the lay-out for the 1949 Tropaeum. The 1949 Tropaeum was conceived one night late in April, 1948. That night the staff, newly-appointed and eager, met for the first time as such. It studied and discussed several outstanding annuals which had come into its hands. Out of that discussion came the idea for this book. And before Summer vacation arrived the rough draft was done. When school opened in the Fall, an enthusiastic staff began to translate blue-prints into reality. And an enthusiastic class began to push subscrip- tion and advertising sales to insure the financial success of the book. In both endeavors the quotas were exceeded, and new records were established. Behind the scenes, directing and encouraging the work on the Tropaeum were Mr. May, who supervised the business activities, and Mr. McCrory, who supervised the editorial staff. They served largely to direct the abunda nt energy of the staff and the class into the proper channels. A N N U A L S T A F F —19-
