Helping to create and preserve school spirit at all major school functions this year was the Southside Rebel Band. Among the major contributions were playing at football and basketball games, pep sessions, and concerts. Starting the year with incomplete in- strumentation and no uniforms, the band now has approximately forty members. An energetic campaign to raise the money for uniforms was launched early in the school year, allowing uniforms to be purchased in a minimum of time. Among the fund raising projects were a candy sale, two skating parties, a Hi-Fi record hop, fall concert, and a solicitation of students, teachers, and private con- cerns. Selected by the band members to serve as officers for the year were Ron Green, president, Nancy Lowery, vice- president, lVIarsa Miller and Lois Ward, secretaries, and Richard VanSkyock, treasurer. Irma Wertz served as reporter. lVlr. Robert Dwiggins, director, guided the group throughout the year. Mr. Robert Dwiggins conducts the combined band and orchestra at the Christmas convocation.
