During the fall term emphasis was placed upon developing a first class marching unit with concentration on unusual, snappy and entertaining drills to be presented at the football games. Besides playing at every home game, the band accompanied the team to Brazil, Indiana, for one out-of-town game. On numerous occasions, the band was called upon by the community for patriotic programs among which were the army show opening the War Loan Drive, the U S O Drive and the dedication of the Sullivan County Honor Roll. During the second semester the band worked intensively on preparing for the spring concerts and the state contest. On January 18, the band journeyed to Carlisle to play a combined concert. Miss Bessie Reeves, director of the Car- lisle band and a former member of the Sullivan band, was in charge of the program. On January 25, the band gave a concert with the Dugger musical organizations at Dugger. Return concerts were given by both schools in the Sullivan gymnasium, Dugger on February 15, and Carlisle on March 7. The annual spring concert was given in the high school auditorium on April 11. A great part of the success of the band is due to the finan- cial aid and musical encouragement given by the band par- ents' club. Those absent when the picture was taken and new mem- bers are: Paul Buckley, Cleotis Hall, Alice Hamilton, and Jeanette Snavely.

Although greatly handicapped by a shortage of basses, bari- tones, and tenors, to say nothing of gas rationing and trans- portation difficulties, the choir has given many outstanding performances. On Navy day they sang a group of patriotic songs for general assembly. During Christmas week an impressive cantata of The Wonder Story was given at the Methodist church. Vesper services at the Christian church, the annual spring concert, and Rotary luncheons are also numbered among the public appearances of the group. The outstanding service of the year was a performance in honor of service men given at the U S O club of St. Stephen's church in Terre Haute. wk DRUM AND DUGLE CDIIPS The Drum and Bugle Corps this year was under new direction. Miss Hester Bland, who founded the Drum Corps and directed them for the last nine years, this year left the teaching profession. Mr. Lee French willingly took over the Drum Corps along with his duties of health and safety teacher, and has most adequately filled the bill. Under his able direction the Drum Corps has served as an inspiration to the teams and added plenty of pep and color to the games during intermissions of play. Led by majorette, Mary Lou Daniels, the corps added variety to their routines with many snappy and intricate drills. The girls have marched for several civic affairs, War Bond drives, Armistice Day parade, and so forth as well as for school functions. Page Eighteen Q if
