JV' i . r You Won't Do Any Business if You Havent Got A Bandg Our marching band, clad in colorful uniforms, spent many hours last fall parading up and down the football field as they prepared their half time entertainment for spectators at the football games. As this seventy piece group under the direction of Fiske Mountain marched on the field under the flood lights we can truly say that the large crowds were thrilled both by their maneuvers and stirring music. Fourth hour practices during the week made possible the formations that the group made: the moving diamond, the shoelace, the serpentine, the weaving countermarch, the revolving concentric circles, as well as block letters of the visiting teams. For the Thanksgiving day game, the band saluted all branches of the armed forces, march- ing on to the field in they played the Army an airplane formation as Air Corps march, chang- tliey played the Caisson Song, regrouping into an N as they played t'An- chors Aweighj' an IM for the Marines Hymn, and last a V as they played the Star Spangled Banner. The marching band also contributed ing to a block A as much to the political as well as the war effort by playing stirring patriotic songs and marches for the B-29 celebration and for Governor Bricker. The concert band made its first appearance on Sunday afternoon, February 25, in a joint con- cert with the orchestra. Two of their well-liked numbers were the New Moon overture by Rom- berg and Semper Fidelisf' During the basketball season, the pep band of twenty-five members selected from the group pro- vided much toward the pep and the color of the games. In preparation for the first band replacements next year, Mr. Mountain has a second band of 20 pieces which includes grade school as Well as jun- ior high students. As their lasit major activity this year the band, ensembles, and soloists attended the district fes- tival in Wichita April 6-7. i i M M. . i

1 UH ,,4W,.MmtW gi Ga ,, .J - r vi. 'Fot Winning seven and losing two games, We ton had a good season this year, tying for runner-up position in the Valley. With only Waugh, Rissell, and Tomlins re- turning from last year's starting lineup, pre-season dope gave little hope for Coach Halls Valley chances Virgil, Kemp, who was out with injuries last scascn, along' 'v :h Waug'i, Mansfield, Arn- spiger, and Wilson, a newcomer to the Valley, made a light but fast backfield, Veterans Rissell and Toznlins bolstered the forward vnall along witi the new line: Rogers, Hamilton, Tomlins, Knorp, Deets, J. Merrvmaii, liowever, it varied quite often throughout the season. Wellington played host to Blackwell in the opening game. The Sooners couldn't stop Wilson and Kemp, who ran the end at random, with Waugh doing the passing. The final score was 39 .26. by J CK CARSON t 0. Immediately the Crusaders began preparing f r their first league conflict with East, who had ominated the Valley two years. The Crusaders went down through fumbles on a muddy field to defeat, but the game included two brilliant runs of fifty yards by Waugh. A green but stubborn line never quit fighting, although they were no match for the East brawn, The score was 38 to 7. Next was a non-conference tilt with Chilocco Indians, who were as helpless against the Crusa- ders as we were to East, Two regulars, Rissell and Waugh, sat on the bench, because of injuries. The score 39 to 0. Tlee fighting Crimson and White then traveled to Neveland for a thriller that was unsurpassed in Valley competition. It was a see- saw affair vsith Hutchinson drawing first blood, but the Crusaders came back strong with a pass- ing offense that no defentse could stop. When the final gun sounded, they had survived the ordeal
