Page 187 text:

This years marching band was the talk of the town. Why? Because their style of performance was different, exciting, and incomparable to that of the other high school bands in the country. Under the supervision of Mr. A. Acosta and Miss B. Suther- land, this years marching band and show chorus (Travelers) combined to make a show that no one would ever forget. The theme of this years halftime shows were called A New York Fan- tasy. As the band played a selection of songs from the famous Broadway hit Fame”, the Travelers and the band auxiliary danced and sang with electrifying feelings which aroused the audience at every performance.
