Our contest num- bers included Arioso by Bach and King Orry Rhapsody by Wood. The band rated a first at the district contest and also at the State contest. Regard- ing the band, the judges commented on good tone, conscientious interpretation and music- ianship. The band, they said, showed evidence of careful rehearsal and attention to essential details.

MARCHING BAND We members of the Marching Band were glad to welcome back Mr. Wicker as our director last fall but that joy was not mutual for he had a hard time teach- ing us a new type of drill. The cadence was increased to make us a snappier looking band. We started every football game with the Fanfare, which moved to form HI, In that formation the song Hail, Hail the Gang's all here, was played after the greeting of All Hats Off. From this position we moved so that we were in front of the flag pole, to play the Star Spangled Banner for the raising of the flag. During the half we formed the traditional letter for the opposing team. That was followed by o special performance, some of our favorites of which were the dances--the fox trot to O Dem Golden Slippers, A Waltz to Now is the Hour, and the Conga. Our exhibition concluded with the formation of a T for the Trojans. As the season progressed we as a marching band, did more difficult formations. One evening we had a revolving T which moved into a spiral. This was very effective so we were told, as it was done with the flood lights out, and the only illumination was provided by the flashlights carried by each member of the band. Our drum major was Jane Teaquist, with two Senior high majorettes, JoAnn Bye, and Joan Wilken. We also had three junior high majorettes who were Darlene Paul, Junith Gun- derson and Shirley Schomer. MAJORETTES Joan Wilken, .lunith Gunderson, Jane Teaquist, Shirley Schomer, Darlene Paul, Jo Ann Bye. page fifty
