-AP-L Bam! The crowd always thrilled to the rhythm of the band in parades, at basketball games, and football games. They cheered to the music of the ROHS band at the traditional Thanksgiving football game with Birmingham. This year the 54-piece ROHS marching band, under the direction of Mr. Henry Garen, presented a 6-minute half-time show on the B'ham football field. The show was a result of 15 hours work, which was spent on all shows a week apart. A skeleton band, generally known as the 'pep band,' played at the basketball games and pep as- semblies. The concert band was a 60-piece organization. This band played at community affairs, the State Fair, and presented a yearly concert in the ROHS auditorium. The band returned from the Class A Band Festival at Ypsilanti with a straight Il rating. Several musicians from the band also went to the National Music Camp at Interlocken and participated in the inter-school competition. Some of the first chair musicians of the band were head musicians in the all-state band. They were Sherry Hood, saxophone: Dave Muhn, bass: Bob Grundeman, baritone, and Clark Sist, concert master. The officers this semester were Frenchie Stein, president: Bob Grundeman, vice president: ludy Reimer, secretary-treasurer: and Bill Collins and Dave Muhn, librarians. 20

Those teachers and classes we especially enjoyed, the chit-chats be- 22
