Under the capable guidance of our director, Mr. Potuzak, the Band and Chorus performed at many concerts, festivals and school functions. White River musicians had a variety of excellent opportunities to air their talents. Besides their regular concerts there were solo and ensemble contests, a district festival, and other competition. Pep assemblies were given atmosphere abounding as rousing marches encouraged team and student spirit. However, their talents weren't concentrated in this field alone. During the course of their programs they came forth with beautiful renditions of the Mozart Festival and the Impresario. The Band Club officers were Ginger Gregg, Sec.-Treas.; Jody Gregg, Pres.; and Grace Dieringer, Librarian. 24

SfaiC £ ( ? s4.) The Future Farmers of America guided by their new advisor, Mr. Bert Badham from Puyallup, experienced a very eventful year. Their first big project was remodeling the old barn on the thirty-acre school farm. Pig and steer pens were constructed, enabling the boys residing in town to raise animals as projects. Many of these prize pets were successfully entered in the Sumner and Puyallup fairs. The White River FFA was also well represented by its Poultry team, which won first prize in the Livestock Grading at the Poultry Exposition, and the Parliminary team was entered in the District contest. Another big project was the January Sweat Shirt sale. Many of the boys at White River purchased the attractive white shirts, with the Hornet Emblem. All in all, the FFA enjoyed a highly successful and profitable year. This year's FFA officers are L. to R.: B. Badham, Secretary; L. Trullinger, President; J. Jeter, Vice President; W.
