THE BAND The band of Grantsville High School is well known for its skill and flashy appear- ance. It had its beginning on November 12, 1946, when twelve members were present. Membership has been as high as fifty-three, but at present there are forty-seven mem- bers. During the two years that it has existed, it has made sixty-eight public appear- ances and has earned eighteen-hundred dollars in prizes and awards. The purchases made by the band included three thousand dollars worth of uniforms and one thousand dollars worth of band equipment. Two representatives have been chosen each year to play in the All-Maryland Band at the State Teachers’ Association in Baltimore. Our representatives during the two year have been, Donna Reckner, Marjorie Gortner, Richard Bender, and Margie Kinsinger. The band’s proudest achievement took place when it was chosen to represent the University of Maryland at the Maryland-West Virginia football game. The officers for this year are: President, Richard Bender; Vice-President, Robert Diehl; Secretary, Janice Jones; Treasurer, Shirley Keister; Librarian, Jane Bowman; and Custodian, Harley Brenneman. We must not forget to mention that the band sponsored the Band Boosters’ Club whose members were citizens of the community. This club eventually was used as a basis for our present Parent-Teachers’ Association. Thoroughly drilled and skillfully directed by Mr. Roger Cole, the band is an organ- ization of which the school and community is justly proud. TBs pets he Formerly known as the Maple Land Agriculture Club, the Agriculture Department of Grantsville High School reorganized in 1929 to become a local chapter of the Future Farmers’ of Maryland. This state organization is, in turn, a branch of the Future Far- mers of America, which is composed of boys studying Vocational Agriculture throughout the United States. Officers of the F. F. A. for 1948-1949 include: President, Donald Glotfelty; Vice- President, Delford Crowe; Secretary, Robert Buckel; Treasurer, Harry Durst; Sentinel, Harley Brenneman; and Reporter, Marvin Miller. Marvin Miller, Donald Glotfelty, and Kenneth Beachy, accompanied by Mr. Garletts, the Sponsor, went to Baltimore in January to receive awards that were won in the Farm Bureau Contest. Marvin won first in the swine contest, and Donald, second in the beef contest. 33
