Organizations Besides working mainly on studies, the students of SHS finds time to relax and have fun in organiza- tions. The various groups help release the tension plus the feeling of belonging and the getting ac- quainted of new friends. Band helps them become acquainted with the types of instruments and the meaning of music. The year of 1968 saw the band receive a 1 rating in the State and Plattsmouth marching contests. At the District Music Contest in Tecumseh, they also re- ceived a 1-rating. Vocal music brings out talents in students and give vocal members pleasure in performing before groups. Mixed Chorus and most of the small groups received an 1-rating at the District Music Contest. Both vocal and instrumental groups were the highest rating school out of seven participating schools. Pep Club members help support the boys during the games. Pep Club cheerleaders are selected by trial and elimination in front of the Pep Club and S- Club officers. The final selection is jointly by the Pep Club and Lettermens Club.
