Band The Band, under the leadership of Mr. Ernest Stanke, had its usual heavy schedule playing for all occasions from pep meetings to network broadcastsf, They pro- vided plenty of spirit for all the home football games and some basketball games and even made the trip to Ianesville to support the team there. In addition to the Winter and Spring Concerts, they gave an unusual Pop Concert in the form of a mutual network broadcast. Beverly Iohnson and Ianet Easum are to be congratu- lated for their Hne jobs in performing piano solos during the two main concerts. The Band officers, with Wally Stebbins as Lieutenant, took care of the tasks of setting up chairs, caring for equipment and all office work. Orchestra . Fifty-two senior high students make up the West High Concert Orchestra which is under the direction of Mr. Ernest Stanke. This organization has added much to the enjoyment of West High pupils during the past year. Besides giving their annual Pop Concert for the school, they appeared in the Winter and Spring Concerts and furnished music for the fall dramatic production, Om' Hearts Were Yflung and Gay. Outstanding solo work has been done this year by Eva Perlman and Martha Curti.
