Juniors and Seniors, comprising the Southwestern Robed Choir, had many interesting and enjoyable exper- iences throughout the year. Under the direction of Mrs. Faybelle Linke, they opened the season with a program for the Flat Rock Citi- zens at Flat Rock. October 23, 1958 was an eventful day for many of them who were privileged to join almost a thousand other teenagers in a mass choir which sang before the Indiana State Teachers Association in Indianapolis. At the Christmas Program for Southwestern, the choir had the pleasure of experiencing two firsts. 'Two Much Mistletoe was the Hrstplaylet to be presented from the new SHS stage, and the choir members made their debut in their new robes at that time. Several of our top-notch musical groups, as well as individuals, were entered in the District Vocal Con- test at Franklin on January 31, and won distinction for our school. Early in February the choir presented a program at the Mt. Gilead Baptist Church. The dedication of the building on March 15, highlighted the year's events for the choral group. Appro- priately, they sang Bless This House, for this memorable occasion. Late in March the SHS Vocal Department hosted the Shelby County District Music Festival. Juniors and seniors assumed the responsibility of providing entertainment and food for the visiting students between the prac- tice session in the afternoon and the performance at night. Graduation activities in May completed the choir's program for the year.

Mr. Amos, Director and Mr. Kabrich, President of Band Boosters, admire maj- ore tte uni forms. Community Co-operation Just sixty days after the organization of the Southwestern High School Band Boosters Club, the band uniforms arrived and a check covering the entire cost was in the mail. During that short time, one of the finest examples of school and community spirit was demonstrated when parents and friends of the school banded together and raised 33, O00 necessary to pur- chase 44 band uniforms and 5 majorette outfits. It seemed that everyone wanted to do his share in establishing a true Southwest- ern school spirit by providing the band with the finest uniforms. The desire for uniforms had begun in 1956 when plans for con- solidation were completed but it was thought best to wait until the new building was completed, so, on September 11, 1958, parents of the band met and organized the Southwestern High School Band Boosters Club. A Constitution and By-Laws were adopted and the following officers were elected: Carl Kabrich, Presidentg Mrs. James Stafford, Vice-Presidentg Harold Kendall, Treasurer: and Mrs. Paul Main, Secretary. These officers led the financial drive for the uniforms. At a meeting of the Boosters Club on October 9, Mr. Amos, the director, was given authority to contract with a band uniform company for the purchase of band and majorette uniforms which were ordered on October 14 from the Pettibone Company of Cin- cinnati, Ohio. Hurry - Let us try them on! At last! Dan Kendall and Ion Over- meyer unpacking uniforms. Sfudenf Anhclpahon Unusual Achievement
