Snowball Once again the Rendez vous Committee presented a really beautiful dance. The Committee, headed by Paul Laemmle, shared the fun and responsibility of putting on Snowball with the county students, as Misty, the theme of this year ' s dance, was carried out in blue, silver, and white, with the traditional Snowball revolving in the center of the room, reflecting multi-colored lights on the dancers. Interpretive and ballet dancing was featured at intermission. This dance is a formal affair held during the Christmas season and is open to everyone in high school. Joy Smith and Mary Wierwille help Tom Beabout fasten the theme on the foil background. They also assure Denny Knittle that the ladder won ' t topple over under their firm hold.

Concerts, Football Games, and Parades. The Van Wert High School Band provides colorful and harmonious entertain- ment on many occasions throughout the year. Whether in their scarlet and grey uni- forms, evening attire, or summer uniforms, they always make a striking appearance in their performances. After diligent practice, several outdoor concerts are given in the summer. Fall brings halftime performances for the football games, and preparation for Vocal Va- rieties. A formal concert, followed by the Band Dance, is given in the spring. March- ing in holiday parades is another duty of the band. A small Pep Band provides music for pep assemblies. All these activities insure busy schedules for band members, keeping them on their toes. The band students and Mr. Jones certainly deserve commendation for their worthwhile efforts.
