Band The Rowe High School Band has again completed a successful school year. The band, composed of twenty-three talented members, has three seniors in it: Barbara Kaiser, playing the baritone; David Fisher, beating the drums; and Bill Philley, playing the clarinet. Its major task for this year has been playing for all the home basketball games. The stirring marches of the band helped the team on its way to victory. Another event for the year was giving an half-hour program in January at the Farmers' Institute held at Monroe Center. Also the band participated in the junior play, held in December, by performing between the acts. Mrs. Wellman is the director of the school band and part of its success is due to her experienced directing. BAND First row, left to right, Howard Irish. David Fisher. Second row. left to right.

Orchestra Once a week on Tuesday, beautiful strains of music have been heard, wafting up from the music room into the rooms above. Upon investigation we have found that it was the Rowe High School Orchestra, performing and practicing under the direction of Mrs. Wellman’s waving baton. The orchestra is composed of twenty-five members, three of whom are seniors: Barbara Kaiser, David Fisher, and Bill Philley. A few of the many selections played this year were: “Land of Romance” by Frazee, “Mecury Overture” by Scarmolin, “Largo,” from the New World Symphony, “Song of India” by Rimsky-Korsakoff, and “Hungarian Dance No. 5” by Brahms. Several appearances were made in assemblies and also the orchestra played at the senior play. Providing a beautiful background of music, the orch(stra played several selections for the Commencement Exercises in May. Unto the sweet bird’s throat 29
