Eancf SENIOR BAND . . . I'll never forget the dayf' Yes, these are well known words to the 40 members of the band. On January 15, 16, and 17, Morrison Cove was host to the South Central District Band. There were 35 schools represented by 185 high school musicians, under the direction of Richard Bowles. Our school was well represented by the following people: Ruth Barnard, French Horn, Ray Blayney, Snare Drum, Jack Bonebreak, Trumpet, Jane Brumbaugh, Clarinet, Jone Bush, Tympanig Jane Butts, Saxophone, Wayne Drake, Cornet, Pauline Fisher, Oboe, Ronnie Leidy, Trumboneg Janice Miller, Baritone, Charlotte Noland, Clarinet, Lois Ann Rep- MAJ ORETTES logle, Clarinet, Jean Smith, Saxophone, and Charles Wareham, Bass Horn. Pauline Fisher was selected for State Band at State College. March 7, 8 found 17 of our musicians at Bellwood attending County Band. Of course, no band is complete without the majorettes. Beverly Butler, Marian Con- stance, and Shirley Keiper fill these shoes. Our color guards are Ruth Greenleaf, Willa Leidy, Doris Nixon, and Carol Teeter. The band has been very active this year, participating in many parades. With this and the help of the money earned from District Band they hope their dream of new uniforms is not too far in the future. DISTRICT BAND MEMBERS 50

TO GIVE THE STUDENTS a share of the responsibility in the adminis- tration of our athletic program, the Athletic Council was organized in 1941 by Mr. John H. Hess. The Council consists of the boys' and girls' physical education instructors, a faculty member to serve as secretary, and a boy and girl from each class. Few people know the duties of the coun- cil. It had been a very active organization but has been badly neglected. First: They regulate and help supervise the athletic pro- gram. Second: They help plan the schedules for inter-scholastic basketball and baseball games. Third: They help to arrange the offi- cials for these games. Fourth: They decide the admission price for games. Fifth: They check all expense items pertaining to athletics. Sixth: They approve the selection of athletic equipment. Seventh: They make rules govern- ing athletic awards and must approve as to who receives what award. Eighth: They help to select the outstanding senior boy athlete. Nineth: They decide the number of cheer- leaders to be had. Tenth: They decide on in- tramural games and the activity period sche- dules. We sincerely hope the Athletic Council will be more active in the years to come and can perform its duties whole-heartedly. VARSITY BASKETBALL MANAGERS

0 ANOTHER OF THE MANY activities found in our school, although it's mentioned only a few times during the year, is the orchestra. Under the direction of Mr. Fisher, the organization played the music for the Commencement program last year and also made an appearance preceding this year's Senior Class Play. Rehearsals were held each Wednesday and Thursday activity periods and on Friday afternoons after school, for which the mem- bers ought to be commended for giving their own time for the purpose of making a better impression of their school at festivals and programs during the year. Although the group is small in number and volume it produced seven members who were selected to attend the District Orchestra Festival held at Bradford, February 12, 13, and 14. Jane Brumbaugh received the extra high honor of being selected to participate in the State Orchestra Festival which was held at Sharon, March 19, 20, and 21. As there were only nine musicians chosen from Blair County to attend the District Fes- tival, and since all but two of them were rep- resentatives of our school, it speaks very highly of the talent found in our orchestra. And, although the members of the orchestra are not boastful, I am sure they are very proud of the wonderful reputation their seven members made for Cove High at District Orchestra. After these festivals were completed, the organization began rehearsing Commence- ment program music for June. This, their last performance ended the school year as one of the busiest groups of the school-the Or- chestra.
