A membership committee was formed to evaluate and judge the entries of those interested in being a part of this new organization: tho se accepted were named as the Art Club's charter members. In a later me eting the officers who were to help the Art Clubs' initial year, with the able and willing as sistanc e of Miss Carter, were chosen. They were Bruce Milburn, president: Pat Plummer, vice president: Carol DeFord, secretary: W.G. O'Neal, reporter: and Dan Patrick, treasurer.

BAND The Western High School Band has really improve d the Spirit of W. H. S. in many ways. They started off in a big way by m a r chi ng and playing for our home football games. Also they played for the Hallowe e n P a r ade at Kokomo and the Veteran's Parade in which they represented our school very well. At the basketball games the band presented some fine e nt e rtai nme nt at the half times, both in their marching and playing . Many compliments have been re- ceived concerning the imp rove m e nt s o f the band, and we would like to add our appreciation to them. In February, some of the members of the b and entered the solo and ensemble contest. Those people were Linda Ward, Donna Rea, Jim Chapman, Jim Cook, Jeanne Ke nwo rthy, Joy c e Beahrs, Irma Bruce, Danny Carter, Brenda Givens, Marcia Phillabaum, Mary Phillabaum, Judy Etherington, Linda V o gu s , Frank Schmidlin, and Marion Duncan. Of course, no dis c u s s i o n o f the band would be complete without mention of their beautiful uniforms. It surely improves the app re ar an ce of the forty-three players, six majorettes, and the drum majorette. In the spring the band participated in the choral fe s tival which combined the bands from E a s t e r n , Northwestern, and Western. Also in the spring they were a large part of the music department that p r e s e nt ed a music festival. We're sure everyone that went heard some fine music and had an enjoyable time. The Western Band concluded their performances by playing for commencement. We believe that here at W. H. S. we re ally have a band of which to be proud. We should like to thank our band director, Mr. John B uni sh , for keeping the Spirit of Western in our organization.
