BAND OFFICERS Edythe Tylka, Secretary: Virginia Martin, Treasurer: Mr. Iohn Pelar, Director: Earl Iones, President: Charles Klldlikr Vice President Being a member of the Rostraver Band is'nt al- ways milk and honey, but its members gain ree wards in many ways. Beside the opportunity of developing musical abilities, their characters and personalities are trained for life's future responsi- bilities. When the first whisper of football floats into the air, eager members and substitutes return from va- cations to throw away rusty notes, two left legs, and crooked lines. Their year's work has begun. This year sixty-three members proudly marched behind their high-stepping leader, Audrey Gibbs, at football games and parades. Hot music poured forth. After footballs were discarded, Pick up that horn: concert time is near, was the familiar cry. Under the direction of Mr. Iohn Pelar, measures were organized, and the concert was presented to an appreciative audience in April. Members of the band displayed true individual talent by being accepted to participate in the Coun- ty Band Festival. Earl Iones and Kerin Narbut rep- resented the unit in Western District Band. Earl Iones also participated in State Band. To replenish the exhausted Musical Fund the youthful musicians worked fervently at various projects. Readers' Digests were sold, a skating party held, and Slim Bryant was called for a hoe-down on Ianuary 30. The band's year came to a joyous close. Their annual banquet was held, and the senior members honored. When asked about the hard work in- volved, the bandsmen rang back with this familiar answer, Yes, the work has been hard, but it's sure been fun.

Where have they gone? To chorus practice of course. Practices are squeezed into every spare minute in preparation for the an- nual Spirit of Christmas in Concert. The per- formance fell on December 21 this year. Har- monious tones flowed from the voices of students dressed in white and blue choral robes. The audience was swept by Christmas Tide and The Night Beiore Christmas into the Christmas spirit. ln addition to their annual concert work in- dividual members sang for local civic groups and attended the County and District Chorus. They devoted their extra time in helping the band restore the musical fund. In return for their efforts they have gained traits of responsibility and good citizenship.
