jim A5'an.oL As familiar as the Bear, the Boswell Band has contributed to the athletic events of J.B.J., and has also represented our school in the vari- ous music festivals. As usual the band, under the direction of Edward Kistler, got their season off to a fine start by playing at the football games. The half-time performances were well worth the work put into them. After the close of a successful marching season, the orchestra, composed of selected band members, played at the intermissions of the Jun- ior and Senior play. During the winter season the band begins preparing for Central Western and All County Band, where they send the better musicians from each section. To show off the entire personnel, the band has their annual band concert. The proceeds from this concert and from the parades, go towards band jackets for the graduating members. The band elected their officers for the 1956- 57 season: Jerry Krause, President, Frank Zablote ney, Vice-President, Donna Holsopple, Secretary, and Lynette Friedline, Treasurer. Student direc- tors are Alex Sierocky, Frank Zablotney, Jerry Krause and Jim Roddy. Of course the band would not be complete without their ten maiorettes doing a very out- standing job with Barbara Mincek as the head maiorette. The maiorettes performed unique routines at the half time of football games, marched in parades and took part in the band concert. The Junior Band, also under the fine leader- ship of Mr. Kistler, did quite well in preparing for the time when they would become senior band members. They showed their talent by playing a few selections at the Senior Band Con- cert. To Mr. Kistler the band members would like to add their thanks, for he has developed a band of which every member is proud.

Although there are many obiectives behind this group, they all deal with the promotion of higher educational stand- ards. Juniors and seniors having a B scholastic average were eligible for membership. These eligible students were then rated by members of the faculty on the basis of leadership, character, service, and growth. Only five per cent of the eligible juniors and ten per cent ofthe eligible seniors are permitted to become members of the society. This year's officers were: Lynette Friedline, President, Dixie Stewart, Vice-President, Peggy Hammer, Secretary, Judy Williams, Treasurer, and Sandra Sheftic, Reporter. The advisor, Mrs. Whittaker, was replaced by Miss Farrel, due to a sabbatical leave of absence. The National Honor Society is not a money making organization. Functions include a social after the spring initiation and a picnic during the summer. lt is the hope of the members that they may set an example for the underclassmen and create enthusiasm for good scholarship throughout the school.

The organization has kept quite busy this year with its various worthwhile activities. A handbook explaining schol functions for the 1957-58 term was one of their proiects. A few of their other commend- able achievements was the annual decoration of the school rooms and the school Christmas tree. Selling ice cream and candy at lunch time and sponsoring a amateur show for the Senior and Junior High brought all the students a great deal of enjoyment. The organization was also represented at the State and National Conventions by Sandra Raley and Peggy Hammer, the club's president. Other officers are Sandra Sheftic, Vice-President, Rosalie Cebula, Secretary, Ronald Wasylczak, Treasurer, Bill Landis, Chaplain, and Patty Dales- sandra, Reporter. Under the faithful guidance of Mr. Charles Kerekes the club completed a very successful year.
