What SHOW! ummer's noonday sun, fall's early morning chill, step 2-drill, and Colonel Bogey, might not seem to have anything in common, but, to members of band and color guard, it all amounted to hours of practice. While others were splashing in pools and having fun in the sun, the Color Guard members were spending their time learning drills they would perform at football and basketball games. The band began their practices in the fall with a new director, Mr. Edmer Cornelsen. Although under a different leadership, both band and Color Guard still had to rise at the crack of dawn, and march with sluggish feet and blow their horns with blue lips. As the slightly cool nights of football season turned into a dry but cold win- ter, Color Guard members were glad that they would finally be entertaining inside. Marching Band then changed their tune and their uniforms and be- came the pep band. Performing was just one aspect of the students' lives as there was always ...sf i if W YW: D it . t 'Qi ' 'fjgga-'ff ,Q . if ii a toot and a holler to boost both football and basketball teams. 4 1!Color Guard-Back Row: M.

Animals run the fabled able - a narration intended to enforce some useful truth or precept, especially one in which ani- mals speak and act like human be- ings. Twenty people were cast in the spring play, The Great Cross Coun- try Race, or better known as The Hare and the Tortoise. Nine stu- dents portrayed animals, while the remaining eleven played humans. The play opened with the forest animals trying to decide what kind of races to hold at their Sports Day. Despite suggestions from Mrs, Brush, the squirrel CVicki Fredrickj, that the contest be held to see who could run up trees the fastest, and from Mr. Spiney, the hedgedog CScott Peggy, to see who could roll down hills the fastest, there seemed to be no events in which more than one animal was willing to compete. They then decided that they would wait until the arrival of Mr. Fleet, the hare fRichard Reedj, to hold the annual cross country race. While waiting, the animals discov- ered a strange rock which turned out to be Mr. Sloe, the tortoise CMike Harringtonj. Because of the bragging of Mr. Fleet, Mr. Sloe decided to teach the hare a lesson and challenged him to the cross country race. At the start of the race the hare skipped ahead. But, little did Mr. Fleet realize as he scoffed at the tor- toise, how the race would end. The three-mile path took the com- petitors through six check points: the bramble thicket, the river bank, the grassy bank, Mrs. Brush's tree, half mile up the cornfield to the cot- tage, Frog Rock, and once around the quarry to the finish line. Because of Mr. Fleet's lack of con- centration, Mr. Sloe won the race to the woodlander's cheers of Thun- der on, old Torto, thunder on!

There was a new director, new students, new re- quirements, and new training pro- grams. Concert band is mainly meant to be a training experience with individual- ized attention to help the students im- prove their skills, said Mr. Edmer Cor- nelsen, band director. The band, which was a small group composed primarily of incoming fresh- men and assorted sophomores, was required to participate in both march- ing band and pep band. They were also required to attend two spring concerts, one of which was located at Riggs Park. That concert was followed by a volley- ball game where the whole department went against the team from the choral department.
