They March . . They March . . They March Stepping out to strains of The Old Gray Mare, under the baton of Director Percy A. Keller, the band executed many difficult marching maneuvers, toiling long hours to add color and pep to the foot- ball games. As a reward to complete the season, the entire band attended the Ark Cit.y game, thanks to the townspeople who furnished transportation. Aside from being a marching organ- ization, they were also a superior concert band. Their Christmas concert being the last with Director Keller on the pidium, it was dedicated to him as he left for the army the next week. Fiske Mountain, the new band di- rector, arrived at the beginning of the second semester from Arizona, and has kept up the good standards set by Mr. Keller. His pep band spurred the basket- ball team to their best season in many years. As the second semester rolled on, MP. Mountain developed several ensembles and soloists in preparation for the district con- test which was April 28-29 in Wichita. During the second semester also, the band and orchestra gave a joint concert on April 16. Their last appearance was on the football field, where they played for the baccalaureate and commencement exer- cises. J.C. Fiske Mountain f Q

' 9 H L Y s Hi-Y had one of the largest clubs in history, so large that the two groups had to be divided. Headed by Robert Rich- mond, sen or president, and James San- ner, junior president, and by Mr. Devore, whose picture appears on page 33, the two clubs presented a Christmas assem- bly, had former club members now in the service as guest speakers, published a Junior High newspaper, and organized a successful Senior High basketball team.
