from Culpeper High STUDENTS The 663 students who are pictured in the following section came to Culpeper County High School from all parts of Culpeper County. In addition to attending classes together throughout the day, these students spent many after-school hours with each other practicing on athletic teams and planning and working on club activities. They also traveled to conventions, athletic events and other school functions and social activities together. Typical of these 663 students who worked and learned together at CHS in 195S are the III of them who participated in some way in the Band. This included a Concert Band of 57 musicians, the intermediate group of 14 mem- bers, and a beginning band with 16 members. A dance band composed of 16 students in- terested in this type of music also made its first appearance this year at the annual M arch of Dimes Talent Show. In addition to playing musical instruments, girls interested in baton twirling may par- ticipate in the majorette section of the Band. This section of the marching unit organized in 1949 now consists of four majorettes and a drum majorette. The four-man color guard which made its first appearance during the 1955 football season is now another important section of the Band. Students Congregate and Perfor.m — Upper left, B. Johnson, J.
