Brady was appointed director of music in the Rigby system. Immediately a sum- mer band was organized and began active par- iticipation in the life of the community. Senior high, Junior High and Post-Graduate students were active in this band. In addition to the reg- ular band work, private instruction and special group instruction was provided throughout the summer. During this time the band made many special appearances before the public and provided weekly concerts for the people of this territory. Soon after opening of school, the band was invited to participate in the marching and playing competition at the State Fair at Blackfoot. The department brought honor to the school and the community by winning a gold trophy emblematic of first place on the final night of the fair. In November a Music Boosters club was or- ganized. This club was comprised of parents of students in the music department and the officers chosen were: Mrs. L. M. Williams, president, Mrs. Ross T. Rowe, vice-president, and Mrs. A. B. Nielsen, secretary and treasurer. The officers, supported by active committees and a devoted membership led in a drive for the purchase of new uniforms for the school band. With the cooperation of all organizations in the community funds were raised for this worthy purpose. Through the generosity of the school board the instrumentation for band and orchestra work has been considerably improved and has won the deep appreciation of the entire music department and the school. The orchestra and band have played and performed at many civic and social functions and the large chorus has been a source of pride to the school and the community. These groups, together with the individual performances provided most of the music for the annual Jef- ferson County Institute held in March, 1940. The music department engaged in the junior and senior music festivals which were held at St. Anthony and Rexburg. Several hundred students participated in individual and group competitions at these music contests. A highlight of the year for the music department was the music concert given in Rigby Tabernacle on April 19. At that time students from the Junior and the Senior high, under direction of Mr. Brady, combined their efforts in presenting an evening of high class entertainment to music lovers. nsnxnssosnnxnsnsnnsasxu use nxuxns-ning. gusnsnsux ng use nsnsnsuxvgug. RIGBY HIGH SCHOOL - - THE lODE011O4O ivsqvsnvxquxuvxqaxaoxvsanspnginrxvsqiunxnsnr im of School Aihlelics The aims of high school athletics are: Physical development, character building, better use of leisure time, and to train those who wish to follow athletics as a career. Physical development should pertain to all stu- dents enrolled in high school. In order to do this it is necessray to have a well-rounded athletic program. Each student should be enrolled in some activity depending on his present physique, devel- opment, and ability. The program should include activities that develop muscular control and poise for the beginner, games such as tennis, golf, etc., that can be played and enjoyed throughout life, and finally the highly organized games of foot- ball, basketball, etc., that are the highlights of the sports program. Competitive athletics are excellent as a char- acter builder. The participant is placed in the spot light. He travels considerably, meets all types of peopleg he is criticized from every angle, he is placed in the hero role, he learns to control his emotions, and, he is faced with all types of situ- ations and must adjust himself to them with split second thinking. I-Ie is in a physical and mental battle with the opponents that is very closely connected with the setup he must face in the business and social world. The present day has created a problem of what to do with leisure time. Athletics offer a won- derful outlet in such activities as swimming, golf, tennis, handball, and numerous others that can be played by one or more individuals, and by indi- viduals of all ages, the amount of exertion de- pending on the individual. This is also an excellent and enjoyable method of relaxing and keeping in physical trim. The secret of enjoying these games is being able to play them well. The high school should afford this opportunity. There are those who wish to follow athletics as a life work, either as instructor or participant. The high school should afford them the best possible training. Direclory EDWIN H. LEE, Dentist. RIGBY ABSTRACT CO., C. A. Bandel, president. J. HARPER CULLEY, M. D. ALDON TALL, M. D.

The first year saw them blossom out, As to their ability they left no doubt. They proved their spirit was not in vain, By winning this contest, and that campaign. Year after year they continued to star, Their pep and vitality carried them farg And all other classes they put to shame- Their many activities bringing them fame. They did every thing worth doing at all, Shirking nothing, whether great or small. Defeats were few and far between, And victories were, ever present, it seemed. Friends were they to all they knew, Ever faithful, loyal and true. Ever willing to do their best, And in every trial to meet the test. But soon came the end of the four year stay, When Seniors must graduate and go away. They gave a class play, and a dance, toog And did other fine things before they were through And then comes Commencement, and Seniors must go Long may their fame continue to grow, And here's to their health and future success As on through life they are sure to progress. savsnsunsnsunsnususavxusnxusnsnsans--snsns--sl
