BAND Standing: Schade, Gillette, Ribordy, Hill, McGuire, Mr. Clifford Row 2: Hubly, Lawless, Kueffner, Alexa, Haberkorn, Lafferty Row 1: C. Beck, Johnson, Cooney, McEvoy, Zorn, Tauber, Matthais BAND The high school band again this year was under the direction of Mr. Clifford. It had sectional rehearsals, as well as private instruction for some students. Mr. Clifford gives individual instruction to two violinists, one saxa-phone, one guitar, a cornet ensemble, a baritone horn, an alto horn, a base horn, a woodwind ensemble, and a clarinet ensemble. A general rehearsal is held once a week. Due to the purchasing of new instruments by individuals of the band, and the purchasing of a baritone and base horn by the school board, a great deal of progress has been made this year. This is the first year that the high school has had the correct instruments for a band. For the annual school music night the band played the following numbers: Little Rastus by Bennett, Organ Echoes by Hayes, and America by Hayes. Band membership was also open to grade and parochial school students. Three of these took part on music night. The band will also play for commencement.
