Whether marching down a soggy football field the evening of a big game or loudly heralding a pep assembly, the John Adams Band lifted the spirits of the student body. High steppers com- bined world events with entertainment in their half time Khrushchev show. Bum! boomed the base drum, part of the Four Corners' band, call- ing students to pep assemblies. To cheer the hoopsters , the band added music to the yells. Whizzing along a roller coaster was an extra event when the band played at Riverview. Buses also carried musicians and instruments to the Elkhart football game. Toning down their tunes, the Band played for students and for the general public. Warming up for a winter of music, the summer band gave two concerts in the Potawatomi Park Band Shell. Slides of Mexican cathedrals accompanied their fall performance. After the McKinley-Edi- son concert, the Band entertained with the Spring Concert. School assemblies given during the year featured soloists and the dance band. Members of this musical organization dis- played their individual talents by entering various local, district, and state contests. On April 23, the entire band traveled to Hammond for the State Band Contest. 25

Strictly black tie affairs, two concerts with the Band started the year. The first featured Alan Olson playing Eb Trumpet Concerto by Hayden. Edison was the location of the second. An attentive student body rewarded the Orchestra's March 2nd concert. Susan Thompson, cellist, played her win- ning state solo number and Andre Rachels, first string bassist, also played. Local, district, and state Solo and Ensemble Contests challenged the Orchestra. Individual mem- bers met the challenge by winning more iirst and second ratings than the musicians of most other schools. In April, the full Orchestra entered the State Contest in Hammond. When music was needed, John Adams called on the Orchestra for it: North Central Teachers Association, The Thread That Runs So True, the National Honor Society inductions, Baccolaureate and Commencement. Selected musicians, part of the all-city Orchestra, provided the music for the Gypsy Baron. 24 I Conant, T. Mabrey, G. Belcher, F. Goldsmith, E. Holstein, M. Badger, F. Bogan, L. Mow, S.

Auro of make-believe surrounds dromotists. Once a month on Tuesday afternoon, a mass stampede of students rush down to the Little The- ater. These eager specimens of young humanity gather in the lower reaches of our school not for political reasons, nor are they digging for gold, but they are there for the common goal of supporting the Drama Club. Those who attend these meetings are not necessarily aspiring actors. Many of them are part of the stage crew, publicity, of costume committees. Each of these committees is essential for a successful production. l S I Disturbed by the pupils of his one room schoolhouse, Jessie Stewart CSteve Lumml discusses his problems with his sweetheart, Naomi Dean CCarol Schillerj. The fall play this year was The Thread That Runs So True by Jesse Stuart. It is the moving story of a young schoolteacher on his first job in the back hills of Kentucky. For weeks the patter of bare feet resounded on the Adams stage. A vast crowd warmly received the two-night production. In December members of the group went to Chi- cago to see the Music Man by Rodgers and Ham- merstein. The performance, as well as the trip, was enjoyed by all. The Drama Club also helped in the all-city pro- duction of the opera The Gypsy Baron. Painting sets, rounding up properties, and applying make-up were a few of their services.
