Band earns A” The hard working band members under the skillful leadership of Mr. Tesar have once again led us through an active and successful season, copping an A at the district. During the glorious football season the band puts on half-time shows at all the home games. At home basketball games, and the tournament games they really pep up school yells, besides their own snappy numbers. The junior high band had a busy year inasmuch as they got two days a week practice during the winter months. They also participated in the junior high school solo and ensemble contest held at Mound. The instrumental department instructs rating at festival about MO students, ranging from grades four through twelve. They are divided into two groups, the junior high and the senior high band.

Their extra-curricuuar activities have turned for the best just as we hope 1950 will. The Student Council again sponsored a wonderful year of programs, both entertaining and educational. The Junior Red Cross, which took over the French School a year ago, supported it with a large donation of both money and clothing. The Red Cross had its annual membership drive and talent show. The National Athletic Society, National Honor Society and the Quill and Scroll are the exclusive organizations of the school. They are the group to which every, student has dreams of belonging, because they are honor award groups. The Hi-Y and the Tri-Y each presented an outstanding senior with a $100 scholarship. The two’ organizations functioned well under their new advisers of a year ago. The Pep Club, with Char Moore as its guiding light, led a very active year. Both homecoming celebrations were done exceptionally well. The H Club and the Pep Club co-operated splendidly in selling refreshments at the games. This year the G.A.A. put on a program for the students, which included tumbling and badminton exhibitions. The G.A.A., under the supervision of Miss Brainard, held play days —26—
