guna! The Manuel J. Sedano Memorial Band had a new leader this year. Mrs. Bennett Land has proved herself a very capable and efficient instructor as well as a charming person. She has been able to hold the students' interest so completely that they have made consider- able progress during the last school tent. The band has played on numerous occasions. Their performances at football games added much to school spirit although they were handicapped by the fact that many members were on the team and so were unable to play any part in the exhibitions. However, several younger members did a wonderful job filling the gaps left by the absent football players. D On Armistice Day, the band participated in the memorial cele- bration in Tavares. Both the band and the glee club received much praise for their Christmas program last December. A number of enthusiastic younger band members look forward to the time when they will be playing the solos. Mrs. Land has worked especially hard with these pupils, and prospects for the band in future years are promising. William Stephens was band manager and student director, while Evelyn Minkley served as librarian this year. 51319-ysmssrzs Mary Ann Bradford Mary Frances Collins Mary Combs Harold Crosson Kenneth Darkow Nancy Driver Gordon Folger John Gargano Prank Hall Verdual Hamlin Billy Harding James Henry Rosemary Huff Jackie Hutchinson William Johnson John Keller Herbert Kurras Richard Kurras George Lasher John Marsell Betty Jo MacDonald Evelyn Mlnkley Nancy Moorhead Clyde Mosteller Barry Norton Howard Nutter John Rapnel Floyd Rleley Fred Roseborough Marian Roeeborough Robert Schneider L.

We This year's high school glee club, composed of about sixty members, has had an excellent director, Mrs. Bennett Land. The large enrollment gives mute testimony to the popularity of the organization. The glee club's first public appearance of the year was at the P. T. A. amateur show on November 25, when their group of Negro Splrituals launched the program. The group had many other engagements during the year, but their presentation of Christmas carols was one of the most out- standing. Lois Driver and Charles Bradford were managers of the glee club this year, and the librarians were Barbara Shipes and How- ard Nutter.
