SUDDENLY COMING ALIVE during the Central-Southwestern basketball game, the band cheers the team on. School Spirit Band camp lasts for a week and new members are given a thorough initiation which eventually leads up to the sacred moment of the Schweitz. The Holy Weed is passed around and the members gravely Hail Schweitz. Whoever drops the ashes from the Holy Weed as it is passed from person to person must stand up and damm himself. The Band Parents take great interest in the talented organization and in past years have provided the Raid- ers with new raincoats, and also new hats for the drum major and field marshal. Central wouldn't be complete without its Indian. This year Terry Tremewan, a sophomore, took over for his brother Paul, who graduated last year. The same pride swells in the hearts of those who watch him do the tradi- tional war dance. DURING ONE of the amusing sessions at Bond Camp, the band members Hail Schweitz.

Raiders’ Arouse CLIFF TAYLOR, drum major, directs the fellow members of the Band during the one week session at Band Camp. PRACTICING THEIR marching form are two members of the Band, directed by Fred Hopkins of Longfellow Junior High School. o matter where they are it's always a thrill to watch the amazing performances of Central's marching band. At the beginning and during the half-time ceremonies of Central's exciting football games, the band performs its complicated formations. As they march onto the field the whole stadium feels the school spirit aroused in the hearts of those who roar from the student section. Many wonder how the band perfects its formations. The director of Robart's Raiders, Bruce Robart, spends many hours making rough sketches on paper. These are put into practice on Dort Field and at Band Camp. After exhaustive drilling, the band is ready for another of its wonderful performances. During the pep assemblies, stu- dents wouldn't be very lively if it weren't for the rollicking band up on the stage.
