S reflect enjoyment of music and success - I the Song Spinners provided entertainment for several social gatherings during the latter part ot the year. Many comments of praise were heard as the drum corps - confidently marched at the football half-time periods and in parades. The early morning practices which were insisted upon by Drum Major Klann soon paid oft in the tall clinic at i SMS. The band added many new musicians to its organization last tall resulting in a group of which we were all very proud. All of these organizations, each requiring time, precision, z and skill, were taught and sponsored by Bion McCurry, a man , familiar to every Greenwood student.

The senior-high chorus practiced feverishly in order to pre- sent their Christmas Cantata for the annual Greenwood Christ- mas assembly. The junior-high chorus worked hard all Through the year as they looked forward to being in the regular chorus next year.
