 Several times during the year the students at Alder and the citizens of the community are treated to the sound of music. During halftime of football games, the marching band provides the music, while the pep band helps instill school spirit at the bas- ketball games. When the time for con- certs and contest comes, it is the concert band that occupies the spotlight. How- ever, there is one man who, although he is sometimes forgotten, is responsible for all these activities. That man is Mr. Ray Starrett. Mr. Starrett is a tireless and patient worker. Not only does he work with the high school bands, but he also teaches instrumental music at the elementary and junior high levels. In his work, he teaches the student how to play an instrument and develop a sense of appreciation for music. Through his ef- forts, band members gain an experience they will treasure the rest of their lives. It is with deep appreciation that we dedi- cate the 1969 POWDER HORN to Mr. Ray Starrett.
