Weekly practices were held during June and July, and in the middle of August, marching rehearsals with drill practices for the seven home football games were begun at Reilly Field. A new theme and an entirely differ- ent performance was planned for each home game, the flourescent lights being used for all these performances. The band attended no out of town football games this year because of transportation problems. Drum major for the year was Tom Williams, junior, who was supported by five drum majorettes. Three of the four majorettes who are sophomores have been with the band for two years. They are Barbara Lane, Jean Redinger and Billie Ann Finley. Mary Lou Haessly, also a sophomore, put in her first appear- ances this year. The only freshman was Joy Chessman. Band officers for the year were Jay Hanna, president, Bob Ellyson, vice-pres- identg Grace Pales, secretary-treasurer, Inez Jones and Gloria Hannay, librar- ians.
