The band also sent a number of boys and girls to County Band which was held in Alexandria in May. The Jazz Band has been reorganized this year and Mr. Burkholder also has formed a number of outstanding small groups such as the cornet trio, the saxo- phone sextet and the clarinet quartet. These groups will be functioning more frequently next year. I am sure the stu- dents of Captain Jack are looking for- ward to hearing from them. To wind up the many contributions of our fine band. they donated their ser- vices to the seniors at the commence- ment program, giving them a fine send- off. Thanks from all the student body to Mr. J. Richard Burkholder for giving his efforts in making our school's band such an outstanding one. Seventy nine

Richard Burkholder, the com- petant director of our band, won't mind, I am sure, being referred to as the near- est thing to a perfectionist around Cap- tain Jack. His capability is brought out in the excellent group of musicians he has brought forth this year from our band. If one would enter into the gym dur- ing a home basketball game or on the athletic field during a football game, one of the first sounds to reach his ear would be that of the C. J. Band. The group has kept spirits high and music flowing at all these events. Seventy eight To add another of the many activities to the list, the band has provided music for many school assembly programs. At Christmas it lent its beauty to the annual Candlelight Service. On April 3, for the benefit of the American Cancer Society, the band presented an excellent concert which was open to the public.
