K BAND Both First and Second Bands in N.H.S. are organizations that are hard to ignore. If you're not a. member yourself, perhaps a brother or sister is, or you've been brovrbeaten into buying a ticket to their annual concert at which both bands perform. You may have been an accompanist for one of them at their solo recitals, and you ca.n't have missed seeing them marching in the Homecoming and Memorial Day parades. And who can forget First Ba.nd's fancy antics on the football field? Then too, there are the assemblies they've put on, and First Band's trip to the Fox Valley Music Festival. Of course none of this would be possible with out the efforts of the well-liked band- master, Mr. Elmer Koerner, whose jokes lighten ma.ny a practice session. One must graduate from Second Band before he is eligible for First Band membership. The First Band practises the first three days afthe week during the sixth hour. The Second Band rehearses at the same time on Thursdays and Fridays. The officers of the First Band are James Lyon, presidentg Dick Schloerb, vice-presidentg a.nd Eldora. Frederickson, secretary-treasurer.

JUNIOR RED CROSS COUNCIL t The Junior Red Cross Council is composed of one representative from each home room. It plans and executes Junior Red Cross activities which develop a sense of re- sponsibility fer the wel- fare of others. During the war, hundreds of books and scrap books were sent to service men, and numerous art and sewing projects were completed. The Council also has charge of the packing of gift boxes sent each year to unfortunate children and of the annual membership drive. Thanks to the generosity of N. H. S. students, each campaign has been a success. The officers for this year were Marilyn Weissenborn, presi- dentg Norma Heather, vice-presidentg Joan Rogers, secretary-treasurerg and Miss Scroggie was our sponsor. BETA HI-Y The year of l9h6-l9h7 has been one of the most successful in the recent history of Beta Hi-Y. The club conducted an auction of Lena the Pig in November and thirty of the fift dollar proceeds went to the Save the Chil Y ...L dren Federation in New York for aid to school children in foreign lands. The meetings for the year have been interesting and stimulating, with a large part of the time being devoted to serious discussions. The Hi-Y code of Ethics was studied carefully, andeachmember had an opportunity to assess his value to the club. Most meetings of the year have opened with a devotion, which always seems to get things started well. There have been sev- eral interesting speak- ers. Miss Gale spoke on What Hi-Y is About. Bob Keyes gave an inter- esting talk on his Im- pressions of Japan. Mr Mona,ghan,Boy's Work sec- retary, gave a most in- spiring talk for the fi- nal meeting of the year.
