BAND In the course of the three years that hir. Surra has been band director, the organization has grown not only in size, but in its capabilities. We can proudly say that each year has seen noticeable improve- ment. Last fall the Band played at several football games of the Buffalo Bisons at Civic Stadium, as well as at school football games. This spring the group participated in the April and lllay Parent-Teacher programs, in an assembly concert, and in the lVIusic Festival of the district. This summer the Band will again play at the Erie County Fair, where we hope to repeat our achievement of last year, and bring home another first place award. 44

Robert Yates was elected l'resident, and llerbert Rieman was elected Vice-president of the Glee Club. 'lllll' Boys' Cllee Club took a part in an assembly in April and two l'arent-'lleacher Association mroframs, one in Avril and the other in lllav. ln lllav, both the Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs Dar- l ls l , , , l ticimated in the district musical festival at Pine Hill Hi 'll School.

Surra has supervised a line group of promising youngsters, with representatives from the various branches of the central school district, in- cluding members from the Annex, Allendale, and VVest Seneca. Although most of them will not be in this building next year, the musical knowledge they have gained will be valuable to them as they joined other groups and we feel sure that they will continue to find satisfaction in developing their abilities and in bringing pleasure to future listeners. 45
