Band Adjusts to New Leadership By second hour at nine o'clock, when most of the school is finally waking up, fifty young musicians were busily tun- ing up their instruments. These stu- dents didn't regard band as just a change of pace from other subjects, but individually worked for perfection and improvement of their techniques. Under the leadership of a new director, lVlr. Steenwyk, the band was exposed to many types of music, They played much music from the classical period and gradually developed an appreciation for it. The band enjoyed the fast marches they rehearsed as well as some of the overtures written for band by contem- porary composers. Due to the lack of solos and ensembles, lVlr. Steenwyk strongly emphasized spending more time with instruments. The band was kept busy giving three concerts and selling candy to raise money. Perform- ing in the Illinois High School Associa- tion music festival and marching in the sweltering heat of the Memorial Day parade in Elmhurst closed the year for the band. l Waiting for his cue and counting measures care- fully, Drew Peters lifts his drumsticks and prepares to play. After begging all period to play Trumpets-r's Olef the brass section finally steals the floor with a five-minute concert.

Committees Grganize School Functions The main purpose of the Fine Arts Committee was to encourage students to participate in their spring festival. The committee also sponsored through- out the year two square dances, a pret- zel eating contest, a bubble gum blowing contest, wrist wrestling matches and movies shown during study halls, The chapel committee, composed mostly of volunteers, suggested and chose ideas for Chapels that would be interesting. The committee headed by lVlr. Harke- ma, met about once a month to plan chapels that created more student in- volvement. To accomplish their goal of having a variety of chapels, each mem- ber of the committee was responsible for at least one a year. lVIr. Bruchan headed the movie committee which chose special films. Rev. Shell's group was responsible for selecting outside speakers. CHAPEL COMMITTEE rront: C. Zylstra, K. Landis - co-chairman, Mr. Harkema. Second: T. Van Dinther, E. Bosman, R. De Vries. Third: H.
