The Band Hampered by limited numbers and cramped quarters yet enhanced by spirited enthu- siasm, determination and one of the finest bandsmen at their head, the Catholic High Band has managed to more than make a name for itself in the West Tennessee music cir- cles. Since his arrival at Catholic, Director Lee Corneille has set for the band standards which far exceed any now in existence in this section. The attainment of the standards is rather slow in coming but though the advance has been measured, the outlook for the musical future of Catholic High is brilliant. Mr. Corneille has set the band up on a military system and the ranking officer chosen was Clayton Cargile. Dan Bruce was chosen as assistant director and other ranking members include Alford Wood, A. J. Venezia, William Wulff, Joe Hamling and Charles Nearn. Last year the band participated in the Cotton Carnival Paradcs, the height of achievement locally for a band. Also, they had a position in the Humboldt Strawberry Festival parades, the Navy Day Parade and the Armistice Day Parade. Each year, the work of the band is displayed at a Winter and Spring Concert. The band received a superior rating in Class CC in the State Association band ratings. Much is justly ex- pected from the band in '49-'50.

Journalism Club l One of Catholic High's 'successful ventures, the journalism class, is under the adept hands of Sister Gabriel. This organization is in charge of the publi- cation of the school paper, the Magnet. The boys write the articles for the paper, and after the iron hand and red pencil of Sister Gabriel has passed over them, they are ready for publication in the Magnet. The paper is sold in the city Catholic Churches and Catholic High Schools and Grammar Schools. Sister Gabriel's success with the journalism classes is readily illustrated by excellent ratings which the Magnet has received in the past three years. Co-Editors ............... Business Managers .... Journalism gives you one-fourth credit-a year, and at Catholic High, you earn that credit. The schedule includes regular vocabulary tests, practice in writing articles, thorough discussions on basic rules of journ- alism, study of journalistic slang, tests in picking er- rors out of various types of articles, and, every once in a while, we try our hand at writing poetry. The Class meets once a week, and is an extension of the English class. Members of the journalism class who are on che Magnet staff are: .....Alford Wood, Pete Maynard J. Venezia, J.

Jensen The journalist's training begins in his sophomore year, fthe freshmen are considered too green to be of any use except as possible delivery boysj . However, every once in a while, we find a journalistic prodigy like this year's Glenn Calvert, whose talents have bolstered the journalism classes efforts during his first year at Catholic High School. A member is sometimes given less than two days to get facts and write a story for the paper, and it usually is in on time. Our members are always working for the better- ment of the paper and subsequently, of the school, so you can be sure that when the new school is built, thc journalism classes will be one of its principal assets.
