Pt«h w ITH A NEARLY complete instrumentation, the sixty-five piece Laramie High Band, under the direction of A. O. Wheeler, has made several public appearances during the past school year. Playing at all home football and basketball games, the band furnished lively and rousing music, cheer- ing the team and student body on to the final goal. The band also attended the Cheyennc-I.aramie foot- ball game November u, in Cheyenne, and performed at the Wyoming-Utah University Homecoming foot- ball game. Taking part in several parades for pep rallies, bond drives, and political rallies, the color bearers and color guard were used for the first time this year. The addition lent color and dignity to the api earance of the unit on parade. On February 22, the band gave its annual con- cert with a Victory motif, and during Music Week they performed in the bandshcll at Washington Park. Both of the concerts featured the outstanding in- dividual players, and the programs included solos, sextets, quartets, and duets. The other perform- ances where the band played as a group were at the County Teachers’ Conference, and at various school assemblies throughout the entire school year. (Continued on Page 23)

They were Seventeen,’' “Ghost Breakers.” “Gulliver’s Travels,” “Last of the Mohicans,” “What A Life,” “Maid of Salem, and “Union Pacific.” Admission was through ac- tivity tickets or a tcn-ccnt ticket. The University High School was invited to many of these shows. Upon the death of Chuck Hcgclwald, Ted Barry was elected vice-president. No other senior was elected to fill Chuck’s place in the Council. An after-school mixer was held in April. The proceeds were donated to the Junior Red Cross. STUDENT COUNCIL 8nM: Llllta» OM .

The chief aim of the council is the maintenance of good citizenship in the high school. This year the perennial fun of public initiation by the organi- zations caused the group to take a stand against such initiations during school time as tl»ey are dis- rupting. The council recommended that no costumes or placards are to lie worn by initiates. All initia- tions are to be held during the club meetings. The officers of the Student Council were Nancy Foreman, president: Charles Hegewald. vice-presi- dent; and Lillian O’Dea, secretary. Miss Sargent was named sponsor. Throughout the year the Student Council se- lected and managed the showing of several full- TO REMEMBER HEN THE ART Group asked Miss Biddick to make a statement about the value of good citizen- ship. she gave them a ] taper containing the following paragraph which we might carry with us in striving toward that goal: Good citizenship must be lived rather than learned. Yet without learning the truths, which inspired the founders of our nation, and the facts about our government and our relation to it, living il becomes a thing of chance. We may act rightly by accident, but we arc far more likely to do so if we are equipped with the information which will help us to reason and judge what is best Each of us has a place in the life of his community, and the community will reach its possibilities only as each member of it reaches up to his opportunities for service and achievement. tl

DRUMS— Dorothy llutnr Delon-» Bird On SEVERAL occasions during the past school year, the Laramie High School A-Orchestra has had an opportunity of performing before the public, pre- senting a group of standard, well-known selections. From the thirty-seven piece group, two smaller units were formed, a saxophone quartet and a string en- semble. These groups played for the various clubs and organizations of the city. Besides furnishing music for the class plays, the orchestra gave an unusual VICTORY CONCERT, March 9. Completing the activities of the year, the A-Orchestra played for the baccalaureate and com- mencement exercises. The many performances were led by Mr. A. O. Wheeler, and under his directorship the aim of the group was accomplished; that f bringing good music to the school and community. A-BAND (Con finned from Page 22) Several of the group's membership performed individually or in duets and quartets. They played for the various clubs, churches, and lodges of the city, as well as for banquets, class plays of the school, and meetings of the Parent-Teachers’ Association. The Laramie Loyal Order of Moose Lodge, No. 300, presented the band and school with a Band Flag. This flag, for which the band and school are most appreciative, symbolizes the spirit of Laramie High School—“Results, not Excuses.” With this thought in mind another year with the I ramie High Band finishes with a climax, a year to be remembered in the music activities of the school.
