This year’s band boasted a busy schedule. They practiced every Tuesday in the summer and marched at several parades. When school started, they worked on concert music, then started work on march- ing shows for home basketball games. They went on a band tour, and on May 11 put on a Spring Concert. They voted one student best marcher and chose the senior to receive the John Phillip Sousa Award. Every Tuesday and Thursday morning the chorus practiced to improve skills in music. They per- formed for both the Christmas and Spring Concerts. All the band members were in chorus and several students joined to make a strong sound in the music department at Mentone High School.

TALENTED GROUPS PERFORM WIDELY This year the Four Sharps and A Flat were a little more active than in previous years. Besides singing in the annual band tour, they sang for various ous other organizations throughout the community. Harmonizing almost every Wednes- day after school, the Mellodears com- bined their voices in barbershop style. In January, these fourteen girls, under the direction of Mr. Bush, went to contest. Their efforts earned a second. Triple Trio underwent a major change in personnel as only four of the nine returned in the fall. Incoming freshmen and a sophomore filled these places well at the group’s perform- ances. Friday mornings saw stage band and and pep band members rush to the band room at 8:25-the starting time for rehearsals. The stage band provi- ded the music for the homecoming festivities. They also brought the 30’s and 40’s to life with their spring con- cert tour. The pep band used their skills to liven pep sessions with the school song and other peppy music. Brass Choir provides music before Christ- mas program. TRIPLE TRIO. Teresa Remy, Beity Etting- er, Joyce Dunnuck, Sue Hiers, Barb Tib- bets, Rita Murcia, Cathy Tucker, Joyce Shand, Teresa Yazel.
