BAND Everyone in Mrs. Mueller ' s and Miss Sinks ' study halls has heard the foot of ' ' Howie ' ' beat¬ ing time to the music of the band. Whether these more studious people like it or not, a lot of good music has been turned out of that band. This is very evident from the regularity that our band has come home from contests with firsts. The band, under the direction of Mr. Marshall Howenstein, has pepped up all our spirits at football and basketball games. They have made a very pretty picture alone and with other bands marching up and down the field. MAJORETTES Nancy Parker, Edith Kennedy, Sara Jane Cox, and Pat Morrison have done much to add to the appearance of our band. They have worked hard on new routines so that our band might out-shine any other band. Not only have they added a bright note, but they have also made up some very clever routines to amuse the on-lookers. Nancy Parker and Pat Morrison went to a contest this year. I’uge 80 9 f

Miss Bernice Fites has had quite a program on her hands. Besides Math classes in school she also has the girls ' gym classes. The classes are held nine weeks in the fall and nine weeks in the spring. The girls play speedball, softball, soccer, and some archery. One of the most enjoyable of the phy sical education activities is the bowling class on Saturday mornings. In the picture Cora Lu Ulrich, Nancy Parker, Barbara Bryan, Pat Bartlett, and Edna Wilkison are waiting their turn in the Purdue Bowling Alley. Since the out-of-door program must await the decision of the weatherman, girls as well as boys will be glad for that new gymnasium when it becomes a reality. Page 79

Mr. Marshall Howen- stein confidently takes his band and orchestra to district and state contests. The loading of musicians and instruments in busses is no small job, but the fine performances bring much glory to our school and a great satisfaction to all concerned. The final appearance of the or¬ chestra for the year is always at Commence¬ ment when it accompanies the seniors as the class marches into Fowler Hall. STRING ENSEMBLE West Side is very proud of its tal¬ ented string ensemble. During the year it has played for out-of-town banquets, at Lincoln Lodge meetings, and at Jackson Township Com¬ mencement under the fine direction of Mr. Marshall Howenstein. Since all are underclassmen, we hope to hear more from them next year. In the picture from left to right are Mason, Yearion, Pat Woods, Norman Hocking, Mike Patterson, Jo Anne Lakin, and Madge Bachman. ' - ' ,11
