Q ll Forest High School Band I c gk' ,Q 'W At the opening of school, we donned our working clothes and began to practice hard for the coming football season. Our first appearance was at the Preview at Upper Sandusky. Two of the most exciting games this season for the band were the Kenton and Ada games. October 5 was the game with Kenton and also the Homecoming game. This was a very important game, not only because it was Homecoming, but because Forest and Ken- ton have always been great rivals. With all the football boys' spirit they won easily. The band used their lights for the first time this year at this game. lt seems that every year at the Ada game it has either snowed or rained. This year was no exception. By the time we arrived at Ada, it was snowing hard. The Ada and Forest Bands played the Star Spangled Banner together. Many of the valves on the instruments were frozen and the members were unable to play them. lt had snowed so hard and was so bitterly cold that the half-time show was called off. We couldn't help but feel sorry for both football teams. lt was SO COLD! ln January the band lost their instructor, Mr. Thomas Shellhammer, to the Army. For a time we were unable to find an instructor but we found there was talent in our own band. Thomas Kellogg, a junior, took over the band and did on excellent job. During his time as instructor, the band played at the Farmers' lnstitute. Here, the public found out how proud they really are of Forest High School's Band. The Board of Education was very fortunate to find Mr. Ralph Balmer ro take over the position of director. Under the capable direction of Mr. Balmer, the band competed in the contest in April and played at Baccalaureate in May. The band can not possibly express their appreciation of the work that the Band Moth- ers' have done this year and in previous years. We only hope that a big THANKS! could help just a little. Members of the band are as follows: Flutes: Mary Jane Forney, Sharlene Spearman. Clarinets: Mona Fortney, Betty Jones, Jean Hines, Marcia Staley, Audrey Switzer, Miriam Mentzer, Sally Edgington, Alice Jolliff, Geral- dine Humphrey, Rosina Kaser, Carolyn Clinger, Pat Peart, Kay Kratt, Mary Spencer, Jeanette Frederick.
