9 The LAUREL 9 Clubs and Organizations STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council, with Prin. Thomas L. Maynard as advisor, has been one of our most active groups. Busy with numerous projects, they have continued to sponsor the group of Navajo children adopted in previous years. This is a sum of S72 annually, the money this year going for an out-of-school recreation area. Current projects have included the Red Cross Drive, the Tide of Toys, the March of Dimes, Concessions at the basketball games, and Carnival Ball. Their financial project, the basketball Concessions, is a major responsibility in itself, and the success of the Carnival Ball was the result of their efforts. This group is an honorary body chosen by the students with the several classes represented in the proportion of 4 seniors, 3 juniors, 2 sophomores, and l freshman. These students make up the present personnel: Seniors Iuniors N. Barker B. Davis K. Frazer R. Marquis G. Lamkin R. Parlin I. Tarbox Sophomores Freshman N. Folger M. Iackson C. Murray BAND ' Under the direction of Mr. Lincoln johnson of the faculty, Farmington High School has this year organized a new band of some 40 members. Lacking, as yet, complete uniforms, this group makes a Fine appearance in their white wool sweaters with blue and gray lyres. The Band has played for several football and basketball games, including the County M 5: S Tournaments, led the Hall0we'en Parade, parti- cipated in the Armistice Day program at Wil- ton, and entertained on Career Day.

Bailey ORCHESTRA, GIRLS CHOIR, MIXED CHOIR These music groups have again, under the fine leadership of their director, Miss Iola Perkins, been rated as among the better school musical groups of the state. The rotating schedule this year has provided greater musical opportunity to many more students than formerly, so that membership in these organiza- tions has greatly increased, being respectively, 36, 56, 60, members. Among the activities and projects of these groups holiday programs and assemblies over the PA are spring and Christmas concerts, System, participation in community music groups such as FSTC orchestra, providing musical programs for community groups such as Rotary, representation at state and regional festivals-36 this year, and accompanying and incidental music for various school programs.
