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
