Under the capable direction of Mr. Robert McNulty the Band has earned the praises of everyone who has heard it. With a large repertoire of newly added selections it hopes to attain even greater heights next year. The band mem- bers should be complimented for their excellent performances both on the foot- ball field and the basketball court. It must also be said that whenever entertainment was needed at an assembly or at some other important occasion the band members were always willing to do more than their share. The Spring Concert and Diocesan Musical Festival were occasions when the band displayed exceptional talent. The hard work put forth by its members enabled the band to attain a Supe- rior rating when it appeared in state competition.
