After many early hours of marching practice, the band members successfully performed the home- game half-time show. In October, these energetic bandmen traveled to Wichita State University's Band Day to display their precision drills. Prior to the Lyons football game, the Ellinwood band paraded down the main street. The youthful musicians entertained the community with concerts, the first indoor one on December 20, presenting seasonal selections. The band closed out the year with another concert on May 18. Other highlights of the instrumental year included a band workshop atHays on March 11. Earlydawn hours at the school, moistened reeds, individual instruction from Mr. Banman, and practice sessions in odd places like the Little Theater pre- pared the band and small groups for the CPL Music Festival on April 1, when the band obtained a I rating on its selec- tions SINFONIANS and INCIDENTAL SUITE, and the State Music Festival on April 7-8. On the first day, band and cho- rus performed, with the chorus obtaining a I rating. The second day, the solos and small ensembles participated. The stage band, a hard-working group within the band, put in many extra hours in preparation for various events where it provided entertainment.

E cjltas Tfo Pc CPL Caxhjmv, WUm 8, Los 1 The Ellinwood Eagles compiled an 8 - 1 record in route to one of the most exciting football seasons ever at EHS. The mighty Eagles led the CPL in offense and defense, scoring 285 points to their op- ponents 25. They scored the most points of any Ellinwood eleven since 1956 and they held their opponents to the fewest number of points since 1944. Head coach Jack Bowman was voted Area High School Coach of the Year and two Eagle players received state recognition. Niles Hauser was named to the all-state second team and Mike Scheufler received all-state honorable mention. At the beginning of the season perfect field conditions enabled Ellinwood to crush Sacred Heart 26 to 0. In seeking revenge for past losses Ellin- wood handed the St. John Tigers a 24 to 0 defeat. The Tigers were pre-season favorites to win the CPL. The following week produced the team's closest game of the season, and its only loss. Eli linwood failed to score and lost to the Sterling Black Bears 7 to 0. It was a game where every- thing seemed to go amiss. Regaining their strength and spirit the Eagles warmed up for an important encounter with unbeat- en Lindsborg by swamping Stafford 64 to 0 and posting a 32 to 0 Homecoming victory over Ells- worth. The Big Blue invaded the Vikings Home- coming and put a blemish on unbeaten Lindsborg with a 25 to 0 victory. The Eagles blanked Hoisington for the fourth straight year by flushing the Cards 34 to 0. Taking a break from league action the Eagles traveled to Lamed where Ellinwood bested the WCKL Indians 42 to 12. They ended the season by beating arch- rival Lyons 38 to 6 on a slippery Lions gridiron.
