Mu i , Maestro The Speedway High School Hand. one of the oldest organizations in the school, has continued its won- derful record, this year, for top performances, after taking the highest honors in last year's contests with the sweepstakestrophy inthe district and first divisions in the state also. Under the ahle direction of Mr. Lincoln Northcott. who has heen the maestro for the past ten years, the hand has heen huilt up to the splendid organization it is today. The hand tr.aveled to Chicago last August to the liighteenth .Xnnual Chicago-land Music Festival Na- tional Band Contest .playing at the Lakeshore .Xthletic Cluh, participated in the Festival at Soldiers' Field, and spent an enjoyahle weekend there. staying at the Harrison Hotel. .Xppearances at home games. the Decatur Central Hand Clinic, participation in the state solo and en- semhle contest, and requested concerts all over the county were other highlights for this year's organization, ranked among leading high school hands. The marching hand ,led hy Major Jack tlanzemiller and the five majorettes, has also shown its keen ahilities for fancy stepping and playing. The hand journeyed to Plainfield, ,-'Xpril 3, for the District Band Contest and, again winning a first divi- sion, went on to the state contest which was held at Danville. The Speedway hand has heen especially lucky in having the wonderful hacking of all the parents of the hand memhers hesides many other citizens of the community and the hand is never seen, no matter how far from home, without these faithful fans helping in the hackground. Losing only a very few seniors in '47, the band will have twenty niemhers in the graduating class of '-18. many of whom have grown up with the hand since their early grade school years.
