The bancl, led by high-stepping Jim Gaebe, showed great school spirit and by doing so they helped to boost school morale. Mr. Joseph Guthrie, the band's new director, worked long and hard to get the band into shape for the All Western Band Review held at Long Beach, in which they placed first. The Four Darlings were stunning in their new uniforms. They worked hard on their routines this year and did an excellent iob. They placed fourth at Long Beach. The flag- bearers, too, did their part in making the band great.

The Footlighters, under the superb guidance of Miss Batho, zipped through the year with flying colors. This year the dramatics class learned the different phases of the art of acting through experience and by watching others. The chief purpose of this group was to pro- mote the appreciation of good drama by present- ing plays. In the year iust completed, these talented stu- dents put on an excellent play which was enioyed by all who saw it. The cast had a great time shaping Dino, their production. The Footlighters organized in 1953, and since then they have faithfully entertained viewers with many fine productions. The group had a very successful year and furnished the spectators with an enioyable perfor- mance. ROW: D. Kelley, R. Jackson, M, Vitato, R. Fagundes. MIDDLE ROW: D. Morehouse, W. Grondona, E.

Although the Merced team faced terrific competition and failed to place in league play, they never quit fighting. Consequently, basketball fans were never let down nor disappointed in their players. Rhodes was the outstanding man of the basketball sea- son and averaged fifteen points a game. Newsom was the outstanding rebounder, and Epps was the playmaker of the team. BACK ROW: D. Green, B.
