BAND HIS year, the first of several. our High School Hand was unable to compete in the District Hand Concert. Nevertheless, we are sure the usual superior rating would have been awarded us. Because of national defense, the factory would not repair the instruments in time for preparation for this concert. For the second year the East Liverpool public was privileged to see the Twirling Trio perform with the band. These twirlers. expertly trained by Homer Campbell, were David Kinsey. Ronnie Boston. and Virgil Sayre. The ofiicers of this year's band were: President Robert tfunninghain Vice-Presiclent Glenn Covert Secretary Ralph Mooney Treasurer .Hill Gaston CHEER LEADERS HIC cheering' organization ot' ldast Liverpool lliub School is led bv three bovs and three girls: namelv. llob tlralton.

At each game the group elects a head leader who is respon sible for the selection of yells for that particular ganie. Ile also invites the other cheerleaders over to the East Liverpool side and asks them to lead our cheering section in several yells. Acting as a host or hostess, the leader makes every effort to make sure that our guests are treated hospitably. Our pep squad can justify its existence because ot' these tacts: lt teaches sportsmanship. co-operation. and leadership. .Xt game time it gives the student body an organization they can enjoy.
