We soon found him to be a humorous but hard working man. He is very well liked by all. First, a glimpse of his musical life. Antonio J. Palleria graduated from the New England Conservatory of Music, Boston, Mass., in 1950. He was a member of the Army Air Force Band at Kessler Field, Biloxi, Mississippi. During his four years at Sanborn Seminary Prep school, New Hampshire, he was active in various sports such as baseball, football and track. To help our new director, a president and council of the band were elected. President of the band and council is Ted Sullivan. Representative for the senior class is Dotty Staplesg representative for the junior class, Harold Crockettg representative for the sophomore class, Joan Norwood, representative for the freshman class, Helen Leland. Midway through our school year, we found thirty-nine members in our progressing band. We will attend the Eastern Maine Music Festival, to be held in Farmington, hoping for a high rating.
