JONl0R BAND Thanks to The Jr. Band people have been a very active SEWING MACHINE DEALER Q GLENN JONES and enthusiastic group and their addition to the Senior Band next fall will not only add number to our band but also give us added instrumentation and more depth in sections where they are needed. Their group of people have been our best sales- men for the different band projects with Kurt Backus and Carol Rader high salesmen for the Community Calendar project. They also won the contest for the most money turned in and we went to the theater in Sandusky to see the 7th Voyage of Sinbad . We will need several more uniforms next year to completely outfit every member of the band. With everything in our favor next year we are looking forward to a very success- ful ear. yWe are fortunate in as much as we are only losing two Seniors by graduation and we want to wish Darr Gruber and Jim Sheaffer every success as they venture forth on- to greater horizons. The band is looking forward to a larger group to work with by having a young but enthusiastic group of Jr. Band members next year. There are fourteen in all. We wish to thank all our friends and hel ers for their efforts to help the band get our uniforms. Especially the P. T. C. andy the Lions Club. Your efforts have been ..sincerely appreciated.

The Senior Band consists of thirty two members from the sixth to twelfth grades. Our activities for the year started at Fair time when we led the Fair parade. During Football season, at all home games, we marched and followed different musical themes for each week. Some members are learning about co-ordination between feet, horn, and eye. Most are finding out marching can be fun, but also hard work. In November some of the band member. went to Alma College. There, they lis- tened to both choir and band and attended classes for all instrumentation techniques. We also had a Community Calendar Sale to raise money for new uniforms. A Pan- cake Supper also increased our treasury for the uniforms. The Varsity Club and band held a contest for selling fire extinguishers, which the band won, and gained an extra 550.00 from the Varsity Club. Our Band Jamboree on Halloween night was a success both monetarily and by the number of people participating. A Christmas Concert was enioyed by the small but appreciative aud ience. The showing made by the Junior Band was exceptionally good bad weather, and will be given on April 2, at Sandusky. The program is one that will be enioyed by all. Our Chili and Spaghetti Supper was a sell-out. We extend many thanks to those people who have so faithfully risked their digestive systems with our cooking. No date has been set for our Spring Concert, but the band is now hard at work planning a program. Thanks REID ABEEL Carsonvrlle The Mass Band Festival was cancelled in February because of ' r
