THE BAND The hand, under the capable leadership of Mr. Planck, has been quite successful this year, being virtually on a ladder to fame. Whenever they play, their attractive royal blue and white uniforms attract almost as much attention as the music. i Durirg the past year they have rendered their rhythmic melodies on several occasions both in marching and in concert, and they have never failed to bring cheers from the crowd. Their playing at the ball games is an inspiration, fin our band is an organization to which every member of Tipton High School can point with pride. r THE ORCHESTRA The orchestra this year, directed by Mrs. Chrisman. is small but eifecient. They have played at several public functions during the year and have met with splendid success.
