TION . . . THE RHYTHM Stark practices with the band preparing for Pitt - Antioch game. RISE AND SHINE reshmen members stand at attention in the morn- ng hours on Railroad Avenue. Freshmen Are Welcome UPPERCLASSMAN INVADE BAND MEMBERS September 19 might have been just an ordinary day to some, but to 45 first year band members, it was a day they will always remember. This was the day known to them as First Year Band Welcoming. Band veterans notified parents one week before the event swearing them to secrecy that their son! daughter would not be told. Veterans broke up into groups going from house to house at five in the morning waking up all the freshman and tak- ing them down to the meeting place in nothing but their pajamas. Once the freshman were all to- gether they were told to line up in their sections and stand at attention. Then under the direction of Drum Major Ion Iones, the 45 members in the marching band left and headed for their march down Railroad Ave. They ended when they reached Winchell's Donut House where par- ents had gotten donuts and hot choc- olate for them. No one knew about it and that made it a lot of fun, besides it's not that humiliating marching around town in your pj's! commented freshman Marianne Iohnson. - jen- nifer Dimarob Freshmen . . . 51
