INSTRUMENTAL DEPARTMENT BAND Poris has one of the most successful bands that it has had in several years. The bond has now reached full instrumentation and is made up of fifty-two members. The band is very popu- lar with the townspeople because it plays at the basketball games, football games, for many public programs, and summer concerts. Last year there was no bond contest be- cause of the transportation situation, but Paris did enter several soloists at the district meet at Charleston. In these contests Paris won eleven firsts, five seconds, and three thirds. This is a record which has never been equaled by any B class bond in the entire district. Mr. Waterloo is preparing to enter soloists, duets, and ensembles at this year's contest. FIRST ROW: Bright. Downing. C. Kneis ley. J. Bovell, Hamilton, Moore, Porrish F. Young, Spierling. Bolton.

It's the modern girls' gym classes. Miss Hamilton, alert to the cry for physical fitness and military training, stresses body-building exercises ond military drill in ad- dition to the ever-popuior team sports of basket- ball. volley ball, ond deck tennis. Folk and so- cial dancing ore enjoyed by the girls, too. Skill tests ore given in connection with the sports, ond this year, the girls tried their strength on the dynamometer. Teamwork and sportsmanship ore two of the prime results of our excellent gym instruc- tion. BOYS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION Mr. Eveland has divided the boys' course in physical education into five different sections. The first section consists of running a sizable distance every day to build up wind and en- durance. The second is calisthenics for exer- cising the muscles. After the holiday season, the boys played basketball until after the state tourney. Then, the calisthenics were reviewed for a spring exhibition of moss drills and tumbling. In the final section of the school year the boys again have outdoor exercises ond running. Twenty-eight E. W. Eveland, B.S.

ORCHESTRA TWIRLERS FIRST ROW: Holler. Hill. Anent. SEC- OND ROW: Comeron. Hollingsworth. THIRD ROW: Moore. The high school orchestro is becoming o very important port of the school ond of the community. It ploys at all class and Speech Club plays, ond at many civic affairs. Lost year, the orchestra performed for the Rotary Convention, and was highly praised by the delegates. The orchestra, with twenty-two members, has now reached full instrumentation for an organi- zation of its size. This year the xylophone, which improves the quality of the orchestro. was add- ed. With the addition of this new instrument and the steady improvement of the members, the orchestra is working on light symphonies by many of the old masters. The students show their versatility by also playing in the band. The orchestra, as well as band, is directed by Mr. Louis Waterloo. The band ond the or- chestra owe much of their success to him. His strict discipline often frightens the beginners, especially when he booms Cut the coopering. Although stern at times, his unfailing patience, hard work, and sincerity produce many winning musicians and endear him to his students. FIRST ROW: Jonos, Moor . Downing. Cromer. Major. Bolton.
