It has improved greotly over previous years and of course there is still room for improvement. On April 6 we presented all the music groups to the public in a program of the musical selections we hod practiced all year. The mixed chorus presented a selection, Let My People Go. The mixed chorus group went to Maxwell to the Spring Music Festival early in April. There they received criticisms from the judge. Later, on April 17, we traveled to McCook to the District Music Contest where we received a rating of excellent. The group under the direction of Mrs. L E. Finecy has made much progress. Let us hope they do keep up the fine work. Using the money we took in on all the progroms we presented the last two years, we purchased choir robes for our groups. The are bright red, trimmed in white, and make the group look one hundred per cent better.

A bond for Sutherland High School was discussed for many weeks, ond the school newspaper carried editorials concerning it, ond finally in October, 1947, with Rev. Schwartz os director ond Cloir Sherman as assistant director, a group of students from high and grade school organized a band. Paul Nelson was elected president and Loren Hilton os librarian. The band held meetings and practiced three time a week from eight to nine o'clock in the morninq on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Eoch person was ollowed three absences before you were no longer considered in the bond. We played at all the home Basketball games between the halves and for the drills given by the Pep Club girls. On April twenty-ninth, we presented a concert for the public and our band letters were presented. We plan to have a party for the band members and their guests in May. I am sure we have all enjoyed being in the bond this vear and I hope that Sutherland Hioh School will never be without one. 30
