THE BAND Our aim at the beginning of the school year was to make our band one of the best. We knew this would take practice and lots of it. We practiced at every possible moment-during the noon hour, after school, and dluing activity periods. Now as we look back over our work we are proud of the many things we have accomplished. Here are a few of our activities: We represented Norris City at Carmi for Corn Day, proudly marclung down Main Street in our cardinal and white uniforms. We attended the Teacher's Institute at Carmi. There we had a Ragtime Wedding accompanied by the band. Those who participated were Gloria Pyle, the bride, Lloyd Donahue, the groom, Dale Phelps, father, Donna Brown, mother and Gregg Eubanks, the preacher. Mr. Blacker wrote a loyalty song for the Springerton High School and dedicated the song to them. For this, they gave a dinner in our honor. The band holds an important place in the Norris City High throughout basketball season. We played for the county tournament and all home-town games. The band has cardinal sweaters with white lyres to wear for the non-conference games. Most of the instruments have been repaired and now look like new. We will have a band banquet for the band members and their parents. The seniors will be awarded the Silver Seal.
