In the early part of this term, the Camrose School Band was divided into two sections, the Senior and the Junior, with practices on Monday and Tuesday evenings. The playing style and quality of the Senior Band has improved steadily throughout the year, under the capable direction of Mr. W. Wilson, Mr. M. W. McDonnell with the assistance of Mr. F. Harris, Mr. J. Findlater, Mr. W. Leisen and Mr. C. Pearson. Our first attempt at marching and playing was made in the rsovember 11 parade. Since then we have played at the Ice Carnival, Rotary and Board of Trade meetings, the “It’s a Date” show and other functions. The Drum Majorettes, under the direction of Miss M. Jones, have also displayed their twirling talent on these occasions. The band has received invitations to play at the Hardisty Stampede, the Camrose Fair and Elk Island Park this summer. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Wilson, Mr. McDonnell and Miss Jones for their help and direction this season. The newly-formed High School Orchestra, under the direction of Mr. McDonnell, and Mr. D. A. Rose, has been one of the most popular dance orchestras in town, especially with the teen-agers. They have been in attendance at several Cam-Teen dances and school parties throughout the year.

The Drama Class also entertained with a com- m endable preseBtation of The major undertaking of the Glee Club this year was, of course, “The Mika¬ do”. A number of the ar¬ tists also took part at the Graduation Banquet.

Seven girls led by Dorothy Lilge have started a cheering section. The basketball players felt they were a definite asset to the teams on the out- of-town floors and especially at the tournament in Red Deer. The girls made most of their own yells and will be remembered for their rendition of such cheers as “Rag Mop” and “Back to the Bush”.
