Music Makes People Beautiful Roncalli High School band members worked hard to produce the type of performance that made their director, Mr. Raymond Herdina, so proud of them. The band practiced seventh hour every day and also held ex- tra practices to prepare them- selves for concerts and the Region IV Music Contest that they attend each year. The band also fired-up the student body during pep as- semblies and athletic contests. Several Roncalli Junior High band members were invited to play with the RHS band and stage band. These junior high members were an asset to the band and a credit to what is happening on the junior high level. The stage band gave students with the will to work an exciting chance to increase their talent. Mr. Herdina is proud of the accomplishments made by the RHS band and the stage band and rightly so, Roncalli is proud of them.

Challenge oj Educating for Home Life Is Met by Home Ec The challenge of educating young adults for better home and family living is, indeed the goal toward which Mrs. Merri Nelson strives for in the Home Econom- ics Department. The Home Ec I classes studied courses in family rela- tions, sewing, textiles and clothing, foods and nutrition and housing in which each student planned a room which included color contrast and decorating. Home Ec II classes studied most of the same with the ad- dition of a course in home crafts in which the student could select a project concerning the home. Creative cooking and meal plan- ning was also included in their studies.
