SWING BAND At an assembly three years ago, L.H.S. swing band made its debut in the gymnasium. Jack Watson, who was at that time captain of Gamma House, was doing some advertising for his house dance. Its first appearance proved successful and a band was readily organized. Under the direction of Mr. Lougheed, the orchestra furnishes an hour of enjoyable music for each of our house dances. We are proud of our students who donate so much of their time to fine music and thus enrich our assemblies and school life. 24

MAJORETTES One of the outstanding clubs in L.H.S. today is the majorettes. Under Mr. Lougheed. they performed for the first time at the cadet inspection of last year and were loudly applauded. Since then, their ranks have increased to twenty-one members. These young girls are working very industriously to attain perfection in their difficult routines. BUGLE CORPS At the November assembly, the brass band introduced to the students a bugle band. Although the bugles are composed only of a bugle mouthpiece, a long rubber hose and a tin funnel, they produce a sound similar to that of a real bugle. Twenty-six members practise every week, and are expected to take part in the 1948 cadet inspection. Mr. Lougheed is very pleased with the progress of this young club. He expects to obtain real bugles in time for the cadet inspection. IMMEDIATE FRONT: Elaine Wigle (Assistant). FIRST ROW: Betty Jane Quick. Arline Connel.
