BRINGING THE SCHCCL We Dediccite This Annual to Chief Davidson Chief directs Band during pep rally. Affectionately called Chief by his students and associates, Robert C. Davidson has commanded professional respect at Plainview High School and in the community, state and nation. The band has won sweepstakes Cfirst division ratingsj in marching, concert and sight read- ing events every one of the 28 years that Chief has been at P.H.S. He pioneered the development of intricate drills for marching band and many times saw his ideas used by outstanding bands throughout the country. The highlight came in the summer of 1960 when the band was chosen to represent the State of Texas in the Music Man Festival at Mason City, Iowa. There the band under Chief's leadership was chosen fourth in the nation. Thousands of students have come under Chief's influence and have profited by his example of dedication, hard work and ingenuity. A number of Chief's former students are success- fully leading their own bands. P.H.S. students have awarded two previous dedications to Chief, one in 1942 and another in 1946, an honor accruing to few teachers! However, in this, his year of retirement from active teaching, we feel it fitting and appropriate to honor him a third time. We, the annual staff, are proud to dedicate this 1964 annual to Chief Davidson and with the dedication go the best wishes of the student body. Chief Davidson has become a legend at P.H.S. Band practices marching routine in the morning before school.
