BAND This years band started out as a group comprised of twenty-eight members. Some of the members changed at the end of the semester but the membership stayed the same. The first of its activities for the year was learning to march in formation. During the football season the band together with the baton twirlers and all under the leadership of J. A Fitzpatrick marched and played at three football games. with the beginning of the basketball season the band played at all of the basketball games and marched at a cou- ple of them. During this time the members has purchased roy- al blue sweaters and eight inch chenille music emblems which they wore with dark skirts or trousers. Although they weren't all alike they served the purpose until everyone could get white slack. In January the band and baton twirlers after receiving an invitation from Otis Orchards, went there with the basket ball team and played and marched at the game. with the change of the semester we also had a change of music teachers. Mr. Fitzpatrick joined the air corps band at Geiger Field and his place was filled by E. C. Patterson. On March 27, the band and the glee club combined gave their annual concert. The proceeds from this concert went to the fund for band uniforms. The twenty-four piece orchestra started its activities for the year by playing for an assembly program in the fall. ln the spring Betty Bell and Margaret Schmidt went to Cheney to take part in the annual music meet. They play the clarinet and flute respectively. The band gave its last performance of the year at Com- mencement exercises. GlRLS' GLEE CLUB The glrls' Glee Club took part in several programs dur- ing the year. The first one was an assembly program given for the high school. They sang several numbers at the Christ- mas program and then at the eno of the year they sang for baccalaureate and Commencement.
