Discontinue Annual Football Band Jamboree In SC District
South Central District in Knoxville voted to drop the annual football and band jamboree held in early September due to financial shortfalls. Receipts fell from $945 in 1956 to $692 last September, leaving a deficit to expenses and affecting a $200 scholarship fund. Members considered constitution amendments as spring baseball replaces football, with emphasis on track and summer baseball. Pella Christian membership tabled due to prior application and non-football status. Participants included Pella Chariton Indianola Winterset Albia Valley and Knoxville.
