BAND THE FINE BLUFF HIGH SCHOOL BAND was formally organized in 1921 under the direction of Prof. J. H. Hoffnagle. In 1922 the local Rotary Club took an interest in the band and supplied the fifteen members with uniforms. Since that time the membership has steadily increased until at the present time there are sixty members in the marching band alone. There are three main divisions of the band the concert band, the marching band, and the Junior High School group. The concert band is composed of forty members who are chosen from the marching band. Members of the marching band are eligible to challenge members of the concert band for their positions at any time. This type of competition keeps every member of both groups striving to do his best at all times. Last year under the direction of R. B. Watson, the present director, the band won first place in the State Band Contest held at Monticello, and this year student entrants in the AlhState Band contest at El Dorado, February 8, 9, and 10, did exceptionally well by taking fourteen first and fourteen sec- ond places. Only three entrants failed to place. Mr. Watson has also inaugurated a new system of military discipline which is apparent to the layman by the chevrons and other insignia on the sleeves of the proud band members. The band will enter the State Band Contest to be held at Hot Springs May 9, 10, and 11. This contest will be to determine the best individual band in the state. Under the auspices of the Band Mothers' Club a queen was selected for the band this year. Sponsoring a membership drive this energetic body of mothers endorsed the selection of Felice Silbernagel. As queen, she was crowned with much ceremony by Senator (TURN TO PAGE 36. PLEASE) Top row, left to right: Harrell, Ritchie, J. D. McDonald, McMillan, J. Maynard.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY BECAUSE of their own work and ideas of cooperation and loyalty to the school, these thirty-one members of the Senior Class of '35 have been selected for the National Honor Society by a committee composed of Mr. Dial and eight Senior High School teachers. In order to attain the honor which these students have received, it is necessary to be in the upper fifteen per cent of the graduating class. Grades are not the only requirement, however, for scholarship, leadership, service and character are also considered. The candidates are: Margaret Fisack-erly, Charles Triplett, Lois Hogg, Mabel Hardin, Mannie Riesenberg, Claudis Jacks, Minnie Ruth Eisenkramer, Ina Fae Bolin, Clara Young, W. T. Sea-well, Rudolph McNulty, Martha Frances Smith, John Wilbourne, Anna Mavis Scott, Fay Russell, Wilbur West, Campbell Jarvis, Marilyn Royce, Billy Kennedy, Juanita Atkins, Dorothy Susan Barnes, Billie McClure, Catherine Couch, James Peterson, Frances Dial, Grace Nell Lyle, Tom Priakos, Edwin Vaught, Vern Morgan, Harold Wenzel, and Howell Westbrook. Inasmuch as the graduating class is larger this year than last, there is an increase of eight members over the twenty-three who composed the National Honor Society in '34. A student must have attended Pine Bluff High School for at least two semesters before he is eligible for consideration. Formerly, students eligible for membership were required to have attended the local high school for six semesters. The new rule has been in effect only for the past two years. At present there are over a hundred active chapters of the National Honor Society in the high schools of the United States, of which fourteen are to be found in Arkansas. In 1923 the local chapter was organized, and since that time its membership has mounted (TURN TO PAGE 38. PLEASE) Top row, left to right: Kennedy, West, Seawell, Morgan, Jacks, Peterson.
