BAND INSPIRES TALENT Al Stewart directed Band, Jazz Band, Stage Band, and led Drill Team. He graduated from Southwest State University. Mr. Stewart based his grading system on merit and demerit points. Merits were received because of good playing and attitude, concert attendance, and for playing at out-of-school activities. Demerits were given if students didn't do the expected, or for not going to weekly sectionals. Another part of Mr. Stewart's direction was Drill Team, which received new flags this year. A small fuss was made because the flags weren't school colors. Eventually multi-colored flags were settled on. Above Right: S. Mueller, H. Richardt, J. Torgerson, T. Smith, 0. Giesert, C. Myers, S.
