108 f Band trike Up the Band! Crawling from their beds at 6:30 a.m., grabbing a bite to eat, and dressing on the way to school was a usual ritual for Kickapoo Golden Arrow Marching band members who rushed to morning practice at 7 a.m. Not only did the band start practice early in the morning during the school year, but also early in the summer to prepare for the upcoming performances in hopes of big success. Suc- cess, to say the least, was achieved by the band as shown by their ratings, they placed second at Car- thage, first at Aurora, and ended with a one rating Qbest rating possible, and honors at SMSU. The marching band, under the direction of Mr. Ernest Pratt, received an invitation to the Cherry Blossom Parade in Washington, D.C. As ex- pressed by Bill Jones, sax- ophone player, After hav- ing worked so hard every morning and having Mr. Pratt correct us all the time, it was finally worth it! After marching band season was over, most members continued into different musical groups. Jazz and Pep band caught the interest of many band members. Jazz band started prac- tice in December and prepared for contests held in the spring. Pep band played a few times during football games for jayvee and frosh teams, and also started practice in December for the basket- ball season. Spirit commis- sioner Becky Hockensmith commented, Wfhe band members were the most spirited people in the school. They cheered and kept everyone else going and were a very important part of the fans.

There was a big test in school today, and for me to pass it, there was no way. I told my mom that I was quite ill, so she put me to bed, and gave me a pill. All l should do is lie back and rest, for, dealing with sickness, mother knows best. L. But then on the radio, the man made a crack, J KST? and my plans for the day took a whack.
