Jackie Henfeld Editor-in-Chief The cooperative effort of many students since A last fall has resulted in bringing the 1957 Ram- bler to you. This year, with the best effort put forth toward a wider coverage of all phases of high school life,it has been better than ever. We have come along way since the first yearbook, we are proud of our accomplishments. As the school grows in size and prestige, so grows our yearbook. This past year the Rambler was underthe leadership ofJackie Herzfeld and spon- sored by Mr, Elam Hertzler. To some students, the Rambler is a book which can be purchased in the fall for 32.50 and re- ceived in the spring, but to the staff, it is a time and interest consuming project which demands attention every day and even during vacations, The Rambl erisa mirror of our high school days which shows traditions, activities, organizations, and fellow classmates who might be forgotten, but whowillbe brought to mind long after grad- nation' Art and Photography Editor We wish to take this opportunity to thank all those who had a part in making this book a suc- cess.

The Flat Rock High School band,led by alternating drum majorettes, one assistant drum majorette, and six ma- jorettes,makes an impressive sight as it furnishes halftime shows for all of thc home football games. Their uniforms ofgreenand gold show off to advantage when it goes through its various marching routines. The band,under the dir- ection of Mr. Ralph Roudi, was one of the two hundred bands chosen to assemble at the University of Michigan to attend the Annual Band Day. These bands formed to make the world's largest massed band. In August, 1956, one drum majorette had the opportunity to attend a majorette's convention in Indiana. Some regular band members are also included in a dance band, directed by Mr. I-lenegar. This dance band enter- tains during assemblies, parties, and a few dances. After the football season, the band turns its attention to concert work. During the year, several fine concerts are presented which provide musical entertainment of a fine quality. ln the spring, the band turns its attention to outdoor practice, in order to prepare itself for various parades. As each year passes, the band increases in size and improves. Donna Dishon Marv Tacketf Carol Butt STANDING left to right: Pat watson, Irene LaPere, Kitty Rowe.
