A year-round organization, the band did not limit its activities to the school year. lts summer curriculum included many parades and an out- door concert in August. The annual Spring Band Concert, featuring solos, ensembles, novelties, and standard band arrangements, was a high spot of the school year. The band also appeared in assemblies and pep rallies. Some of the highlights of performances at l949 football games included forming a Windmill and playing ln an Old Dutch Garden, forming a heart and playing Let Me Call You SWeetheart, and executing patterns of waltz steps. At the game during Pennsylvania Week a large Keystone was formed by the band While the Pennsylvania Polka was played. At all games the letters of both schools Were formed. At the annual gridiron feature on Thanks- giving Day in Royersford, the Blue and White band played 'National Emblem March and The Star Spangled Banner With the band of the opposing school, after which a revolving merry-go-round was formed while the band played The Merry-go-round Broke DoWn. Our high school band was one organization of which we were justly proud, and the memories of it will return whenever we think of school productions. Orchestra Back row:-I. Rudisill, M. Barndt, G.

Allied Youth In the beginning of the school year the Allied Youth found that it had increased its membership from one hundred thirtyethree to one hundred eighty-one. This was by far the largest club in the school, so large that two sponsors were appointed. ln order to raise money to send delegates to the annual conference at Buck Hill Falls, we had a Talent Show which was held in Oc- tober This venture proved to be very suc- cessful, and as a result seven persons repre- sented the club. Parties were held for mem- bers and a party in honor of the Seniors was given in May. One of the outstanding programs ofthe ear was the showing of the movie, Drunken lgriv- ing This film was an M.G.M. production and is now the property of Allied Youth, Inc. Cheerleading This year our cheerleaders again came through with a very capable squad. Prac- tices were held at least once a week and many times extra meetings were included, Our club was under the leadership of Mrs. Guss and the co-captains, Barbara Finkbiner and Dorothy Croslcrnd, who contributed many ideas to our squad. One of our first accomplishments at the be- ginning of the year was the formulation of our constitution. Also very effective pep rallies were held before every football ame. A rotating system was used so that as the new girls could cheer at one time or another at the football games. The cheerleaders were Laura lbach, Barbara Bach, Dorothy Crosland, Barbara Finkbiner, Virginia Moses, Alice Kersbergen, Leah S ph! erd, Iune Rittase, Mary Seibert, Shirley garl, Sally Butt, Mario Quay, Gail Rudy, and Bonnie Barclay. Chess Club The Chess Club, which was under the di- rection of Mr, White, was more or less inac- tive during the school year. The members spent their regular Thursday morning activity period brushing up on their offensive and de- fensive tactics. It was probable that a tourna- ment would be held sometime in the spring to determine the ranking of the players for next year's team, which mi ht have several matches with teams from other schools. tunic, S1'1fr'n ly-nm
