As the entire organization did another march routine, the black-lights were focused on Uncle Sam carrying the United States Flag. Thus, the band wound up their first show of the season. lt was repeated the following night at the Akron Rubber Bowl where a professional game was held. There were many other fine shows including Campaign Highlights and Let's Dance . Presented at the latter were Hooshary Aghakhni and Mansoor Amir Nimromard, two visitors from lran. After the game Miromard said, smiling, lt was wonderful! Not only the football, but that was the best high school band l've ever seen. Putting on the half time shows is not the only work cut out for the band. When Cinerama was previewed at Cleveland, the entire band was asked to perform, , after which they were guests of the theater for the if show. After the first of the year the band began practic- ing for one of the most important events of the year, the band concert. lt was held April 25 and 26 in the auditorium. Preparation was also made for the contests which were held April 6 at Massillon, March 9 at Mount Union, and April 13 at Kent State. The band is to be congratulated for a splendid season. MAJORETTES Row T: Pat Pentz, Bob lObiel Willgohs, Lynda Roland. Row 2: Barbara Pfister, Dee Alvarez, Nancy Smith. Row 3: Judy Hilbert, Ronald Prunty, Carol Sibilu.

THREE YEAR BANDSMEN Row 'l: Ronald Prunty, Bob Willgohs. Row 2: Janet Tonn, Barbara Pfister, Lynda Roland, Dee Alvarez, Carol Sibila, Patty Compan. Row 3: Janet Broomall, Barbara Hudson, Virginia Riley, JoAnn Simonson, Cheryl Septer, Carol Forgan. One of the honors which a sophomore can receive is being chosen for the Tiger Swing Band. The above students have completed three years of hard work and a lot of fun besides. Remember how nervous you were when you marched onto the field for the first time in 1954? During that football season, six shows were featured, two of which were Them Basses and This ls My Country. The band also took part in the Tri-State Band Festival at Pennsylvania. Then you were a junior and off to California. You worked hard selling popcorn and candy, and going from door to door for contributions. But the hard work paid off. Remember Row 4: Pat Speck, Lucinda Miller, Carol Emig, Nancy Adams, Linda Heather, Omeda Hedges, Pat Tenley. Row 5: Judy Garland, Phil Binkley, Don Lehman, Bob Wiskofske, Ronnie Drokophil, Jim Shilling, Bob Featheringham, Dick Brugh. Row 6: Dave Boughner, Larry Bowers, Ken Steffee, Gary Henry, Reuel Ledsome, Dennis Nemeth, Ronnie Stone, Dale McGinnis, Jim Bash. all the fun sightseeing and that long, long eight mile march in the Tournament of Roses Parade? And finally it was your last year. It was a sad day as you stood on the home field for the last time and played the Alma Mater. There were still other things to look forward to though such as the band concert and the district and state contests, both of which were successful. Of course there was the Military Ball, entitled Tropical Fantasy, which was out of this world. The cumulative efforts were brought to a close as you received your three star ring at the annual band banquet. Page 25
