Mr. James Walker Director The Band Plays On By Jerry Thompson It’s a touchdown! And you hear the spirited school song, “Norman High School”, flare across the gridiron. It would not be a touchdown if the band was not there to play “Norman High” and it would not be a football game unless the band was there to parade at half-time. Besides playing at football games, the band is called on for all spe- cial occasions of the town or school. The marching band has been improved this year by the addition of half a dozen pretty drum majorettes dressed in white uniforms. The concert band has also been improved by the purchase of a bassoon and tympani. Mr. Walker, an alumnus of Norman High, has done an exceptionally good job during his short time as conductor. Last year he worked up six ensembles to enter the State contest, of which three went to the national. He entered nine solos, and sent five to the national, which is a good record in anybody’s league. The improvement of the band over last year can be seen in their better marching forma- tions, the new instruments added, and in the general di- vision into “A” and “B” bands. Early in the fall Mary Ruth McMakin was elected band queen. Coronation ceremonies took place at half time dur- ing the Norman-Wewoka football game. Mary Ruth was crowned by Leo Tarpley, president of the band. Later in the spring the band will participate in the state contest. The outlook for Norman this year is very good, this being their first real chance to win a “Superior” rating. If the band keeps progressing as it has under Mr. Walker’s direction, it will soon rate with the best bands in the state. Top Row: (left to right) Tom Shelton. Eldon Hatfield. Jack Patten.
