i I l 1 i ' THE SHENANDOAH l 1 l 1 MR. EARL E.. MAY V THIS YEAR for the first time in the history of Shenandoah High School athletics, the home football games were broadcast. This was made possible through station K. M. A. It was done without any charge to the school or athletic association and we feel deeply in- debted to Mr. Earl E. May for this service. Mr. Wayne Hill announced the games. These broadcasts were beneficial inasmuch as the fans of the visit- ing teams who were obliged to remain at home were given a play-by- play account of the games. The broadcasts were also picked up at other towns, especially those in the Hawkeye Six Conference, and the score at the half of the Shenandoah games was announced. Mr. May has long been a patron of the High School Band and has been outstanding in his personal donations as well as in assistance in the raising of funds whenever they have been needed. Numerous times he has given a percentage of the receipts from a special night at the Mayfair theater to the band and also to Junior classes, helping them raise money for their Junior-Senior banquets. We are most grateful to Mr. May for his generosity and assistance. 4- HT- 4--L-I 1 9 3 7 --f:H-,:g-- -:fl----V-' - , 1-

THE BAN Y URING the school year of 1936-'37 our high school band, already among the top notchers in this part of the country, added new laurels to its list of achievements. It traveled to Lincoln for the Neb- raska-Iowa State football game, having the honor of being the only Iowa band invited. At Omaha, competing against twenty-one other bands, it won first prize of seventy-five dollars, earning more than two hundred dollars for the two days. It also played at May's Jubilee, each member having a chance to talk over the radio. Some of the year's most popular maneuvers were a large S while marching and three concentric circles, each moving in opposite directions. Due to a new arrangement the marching band will not compete in the state contest held at Iowa City, but will go directly to the national contest to be held in Oklahoma City, May 13 and 14. This year the concert band has a complete symphonic instrumenta- tion. There are over seventy students out for concert band, but owing to the size of the rehearsal room and the number of uniforms it will be kept under sixty members. The band president is Dean McKeeg secretary, Gwendolyn Latimer, drum major, Eddie Currier, assistant drum major, Jimmie Deemsg and John and Jim Burnside are the two twirling drum majors. r , 1 9 3 7 +4 gill , . .
