Now the Montour Band, dressed in black uniforms trimmed in gold, marches down the center of the football field. With one quick glance to the sidelines, one can see the band director, Mr. Joseph Picchi, as he watches the band carry out his instructions. The preparations for these shows began last summer at band camp and continued until the night of the show. ln August the buses transported the band members to the Denora Lions Camp at Rockwood in Somerset County. The band practiced many long hours, but of course it wasn't all work. The band members managed to have nightly dances and time for swimming and badminton. The camp was sponsored by the Band Parents and each student was charged a minimum fee. From all the comments about the camp it will be wholeheartedly supported in the future. One night stands foremost in the memory of these band members. It rained the night of the Music Festival, and yet as it rained the Montour Band remembered the old tradition, The show must go on! The band upheld this tradition and performed their routines, thus proving the spirit of the band. At the close of the football season, the band turns its attention to concert music. Every day, seventh period, if one has passed the band room, strains of concert music would have reached your ears. The band is fast and steadily increasing. Mr. Picchi has reported that French horns, trom- boniums, oboes, bassoons, alto clarinets and basses will be added to the list of instruments, Just as any other hard working organiza- tion, the band has held special night rehearsals each Monday evening. So as the band workea on their half time routines and rehearsed for the concert, there were also plenty of opportunities for fun and excitement. Yes, we the students of Montour take great pride in our school band!

The Future Teachers of America is in its second year at Montour and shows great pros- pects. There are already 23 members in the club. The constitution was presented to the Stu- dent Council and accepted this past November. The club was established with the purpose of in- teresting the youth in the teaching profession. The purpose of the club is to learn about the teaching profession, its opportunities, respon- sibilities and its important role in democracy. Two of the clubs most important activities for this year were sponsoring a bake sale and oresenting a movie. Another interesting event included a visit by the officers of our club to Stowe Township to attend their initiation cere- monies. The F. T. A. also invited the F. T. A. Club from another school and entertained them with a special program which featured a movie on the teaching profession, discussion, and refresh- ments. At the Honors Assembly this year, the sen- ior members of the club were presented with their omcial club pins. Under the guidance of its sponsor, Miss Gertrude Burek, the F. T. A. is fast becoming a very prominent organization. lst Row: P. Schafer, P. Pierce, P Green, J. Butler, K, Herbert, J Marshall, M. Campbell, D. Por ter, G. Leitner, J. Taylor, J. Jen kins. 2nd Row: W.
