Timothy and 'Mr. Tom Gatschet to make this year an outstanding one in the music department. Three active-bands, the glee club, and.the various ensembles give evidence of great activity. Q l The largest organization is the concert band, cons1st1ng of over sixty selected members from the Cadet b1a.ttal1on, Girls' Catholic High and the Jeffer- son grade school. They will climax their year's work A Q G: 9 - with the annual Spring concert. The militarfy band is composed exclusively of Cadets and per orms at all parades and mllxtary functions at the school. The dance bfaind.was organ- ized by Mr. Gatschet in response to the insistent de- mands of some of the ban members. Their ,goal is to play at the schoo1's social functions, especially at the military ball. These three bands are the culmina- tion of many years of hfard work on the part of the musical directors. .il THE CONCERT BAND-l to r: Mary Ann Beilman, Patty Staab, ,Carol Kinderknecht, Irma Fross, Rita Fross, Carol Schueler, Julianne Wiesner, Mary Anne Roth.

A new policy was put into force this year in the music department with regard to the student's prac- ticing his instrument. In previous years, this responsibility rested com- pletely on the student. Instead, this year, supervised ensemble .and sec- tional work was done daily, under the direction of the teachers them- selves. There were about six 'active en- sembles among the students of mu- sic, four, of Cadets, and the other two of outside students. The flute udic i n rn ,. C i A .Q Trumpet Trio: Robert Frank, Donald Thomasson, Herbert Schmidt. Clarinet Quartet: Joseph Staab, Richard Deen, Patrick Giebler, Arthur Evans. ensemble is made up of seven young ladies from G.C.H.S., and the mar- imba sextette also includes a young lady from Ellis, Ks. The mfarimba and flute ensem bles played during the Christmas program, while the four Cadet groups show their stuff at regular periods during the year before bat- talion assemblies. The members of these organiza- tions also take part in the concert band. It is the hope of the music instructors to enter some of these groups in the various state compe- titions.
