Nevertheless, this year shows a decided upward climb. To the seventeen members of last year's band, twenty-four new members have been added. During the course of the year, the band has been invited to play at various school and city functions. At the football and basketball games they helped cheer our team both in victory and defeat. Our band was well represented at the district Spring Music Festival which was held in May. They played in class C and marched in the parade. They also entered thirteen solo events. Never before has such enthusiasm been shown. This year the school is offering letters to band students. The band elected Mary Lu Hoffman as their president and Noreen Ison, secretary-treasurer. 25
