Band During this year, a number of new instruments have been added to the band. Most predominant among these is a new BB flat sousaphone, which made its first public appearance on January 14, at the dedication of the new annex. Clarinets have also been purchased by Donna ,lean Avery, Sally Das- sance, ,lo Anne Scribner and Lillian Sedat. In February, the band, which is under the direction of Mrs. Nora Arquit, purchased fifty used uniforms in good condition from Cornell. The first public showing of the new uniforms was at the Feb- ruary 25 band concert, and donations were accepted to help pay for them. On November 17, 18, and 19, four students attended the N.Y.S.S.lVl.A. Sectional All-State Band and Choir at Potsdam. Donna ,lean Avery and Douglas Donnan played clarinet and baritone, respect- ively, in the band. Fred Lamb and Charles Watros sang bass in the choir. During the last part of April a concert was planned which was mainly solos by members in the band and about the second week in May the band went to the N.Y.S.S.lVl.A. Spring Band Contests, where a number of band members played solos. The band will march on Memorial Day. The band is now made up of about forty members. There are twelve clarinets, nine cornets, two flutes, one oboe, three trombones, two baritones, two basses, two French horns, five percussionists and six twirlers. 1291

Student Council The Newfield Student Council, which was set up in 1939, has, for the past 11 years, been trying to form an active, democratic Student Council which would do its best to help the students. Much has been accomplished in that time, but much needs to be done. This year, to help the students and carry out their wishes, a noon-hour program was set up dur- ing the lunch hour to keep the students active. A schedule was set up for different activities. The Stu- dent Council decided that it could do away with the courtesy corps and the sanitation corps, feeling that the students were grown enough so that there should be little need for these organizations. The Stu- dent Council was allotted S5100 for paid assemblies to be held at school, by the School Board if the Student Council would pay the rest of the cost. This was discussed quite a bit and the decision will be left to the new Student Council, which took office oliicially on January 31, 1950. This year the elections were very lively and the candidates all put up a good fight. The election results were very close throughout the halloting. George Dorn was elected president, Joan Cassavant, vice-president, Ruth Cassavant, secretary and Jerry Chase, treasurer. E231
