The band consists of i6 members with a very good distribution on the various instru- ments, lt started out with Mr. Strutzel as its director. Quite a few members joined, as many had graduated in l948. The band put on its first performance in the Homecoming parade on October l5, l948, lt gave a fine showing and looked very nice in their maroon and white copes. Because of so many new beginners it did not play at basketball games as it has done in former years, however the band takes part in different activities throughout the summer. The four majorettes have performed only once this year, at Homecoming, in which they led the whole parade of band, floats, decorated bicycles, etc. The head majorette, Connie Grossman, has been majarette former years with the other three in their second year.

The mixed chorus started out with 40 eager girls and boys with Mr. Strutzel as their director. Its first performance was at the Christmas party in the afternoon, Friday, Decem- ber l7th. Dut to the lack of time the usual Christmas concert was not put on. Mr. Strutzel left us after Christmas and Mr. Seedorf took his place as director. The Chorus plans to go to the Music Festival in Glenwood in April as it has done in previous years. We will enjoy the chance to hear the St. Cloud choir in March. The chorus will take part in Baccalaureate and commencement programs in June.
