Capably directed by the new band director, Mr. Robert Barr, the Rome City Band has filled the past year of activ- ity with achievements and honors. The work of the exper- ienced players plus that of the new members has helped to make the year a successful one. For the past seven years the Band has lent spirit and pep to our basketball games both by playing our school song, and by playing our school marches during intermissions. The Band marched at most of the ball games this year, and the Flag Twirlers and Ba- ton Twirlers performed. The Seniors spending their last year inthe Band are; Bill Schell, Clarinet; Amy Whetzel, Melophone; Carol Gaby, Flute; Richard Barkley, and Marceda Munk, Cor- nets; Shirley Jacoby, Baritone; Ted Cureton, Everett Pardue, Drums; Donna Sturgis, Mary Biddle, Flag Twirl- ers; and Ellen McClure, Virginia Franks; Baton Twirlers.
