g2H'l'0Il5 The Parrots is an organization to develop interest and talent in dramatics. It was organized in 1926 by Miss Dina Rees Evans, English and dramatics instructor. Through the Parorts, the students have received training and experience in play production. To those outside the organization the profits from the Parrot productions have provided a donation to the recording machine in the music room, the projection machine in the auditorium, a series of assemblies presented to the students for the school year '39 and '40 and many other similar advantages. To gain admission into the organization a student must show definite ability in some phase of dramatics. The candidate must have participated in some part of the work in a major three-act Parrot play or had parts in three one act plays accepted by the Parrots. The candidate's performance must be approved by the Parrots. Parrot plays for the past five years have been directed by the present adviser, Mr. Roberts.

They have the most nearly complete instrumentation of any band in this section of Montana. During the year the work of the band has been playing for athletic games, pep assemblies, and rallies. They also worked up formations for football games and pre- sented an interesting display at the Park-Gallatin game in Livingston. The band tied with Billings for top honors at the Midland Empire Music Festival. Together with the Bobcat band, the Gallatin concert band presented a combined band concert on March 24. Besides playing numbers jointly, the bands also offered separate pieces. The Gallatin band also gave a concert during the open house at the Squaw Creek C.C.C. camp on Easter Sunday, April 9. 59
