The Greenbank High School Band was organized in the fall of 1944 under the leadership of Miss Anna Margaret Johnson. Due to the shortage of material for making instruments the band was not as large as it would have been otherwise. The charter group consisted of twenty-three members. This year five new membeis joined the band making a total membership of twen- ty-six. Our band played marches and miscellaneous songs at the home basketball and football games. It went to Durbin Grade School on March 1 and participated in an amateur program. The money derived from this program was donated to the Pocahontas Memorial Hospital. The band was also the guest of the Greenbank Home Economics Chapter at its March meeting. This year the band will again play at both the grade and high school graduation exercises. A spring concert is one of the annual events of this group, whose members also compose the glee club. Following the concert a formal party is held by the mem- bers. They also provide music for the Baccalaureate Sermon and Commencement. One of the goals of the Greenbank High School Band is to enter the football season next year dressed in new gold and blue uniforms. The officers elected by the members of the band for this year are: President, Bill Townsend; Vice-President, Ida Gaye Hiner; Secretary-Treasurer, Marian Tracy; and Representative, Virgil B. Harris, Jr. Members are as follows: Blake Breitenhirt, Clarinet; Dorothy Campbell, Cornet; L. E.
