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
