Executive Board Plans For Summer Band Mothers Club

The Band Mothers Club executive committee met to plan summer work focusing on obtaining instruments rather than uniforms. Directors say more instruments are needed to maintain high contest ratings. The group discussed using funds from the lettermen’s banquet to buy kitchen dishes and raise to 100 pieces each. Chaperones Mrs Marion Slack and Mrs Roy Howell were named for the school bus trip sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce. Plans include July 3 and 4 rodeo refreshments. The club will stay active through summer to fund band needs for the coming year. After the final open air concert, ice cream and cake were served on the library lawn.
