Junior Band and Orchestra When asked about one thing that had hap- Baskelball Band pened this year that they wanted to remember, Carl hlcnanold, William Miedema, Tom Huflord, Robert Norden, Law- rence Voss. and Bill Payton surely got a rise out of the Crowd at the basketball games when they played The Old Cray Mare, She Ain't Wltztt She Used To Ref' 'W as -Qs 27 the orchestra said that they wanted to remem- ber that they played 4GHoliday for Stringsi' with Hwindsf, If it hacln't been for the wind instruments, it wouldn't have been a MHoliday for Strings, and yet wind instruments usually do not form an orchestra. As for the band, it had the honor of being '4Spotlight Bandi' at the Western Michigan State Teachers Convention. It was also asked to play at the Annual Parent-Teacher Asso- ciation, which is considered quite an honor, as it usually picks out entertainment that is of the best. At the football games the band was the center of the cheering section. Everybody waited for the band to start playing between quarters and halves. The crowd also liked the beat of the drum when Ottawa made a good play. The Band Mothers have helped the band raise money this year by having card parties and rummage sales. The Basketball Band shown at the left is what caused so much excitement between halves with Bill Miedema sliding out those long notes on his trombone.

They needed some money to pay for their pictures in the Legend and also for new music. and a trophy to go to the outstanding music student of the year. so they had a skating party at Ramona. The spring concert. given by the choir, band. orchestra, and glee clubs was also an accom- plishment for the choir. Among other things they sang. The Heavens Are Tellingfi accom- panied by the orchestra. Other activities of the choir this year included a hayride at Halloween time. and the choir also sang at the Western Michigan State Teachers Convention at Central High School Auditorium. Tliey also sang at East Congregational Church for the Parent-Teacher Association dinner. The choir has had experience with a student director. ,lack liosten. who directed the choir in his R.O.'l'.C. uniform and white gloves. which made it more impressive. At this assembly it sang a selection ol' three numbers including '4This is My Country and many others. Some of the members have taken directing lessons from Mr. Frank Showers. Although the members of the choir are having good times with their social work. the purpose of the choiir is still singing. i Getting ready to skate.
