Advisors: Miss Haberlach and Mr. Howard OUR BAND BY SMOKEY ANDRESON The possibility of having the spirit needed to encourage a winning team, is strong, but the fact that a marching band led by a capable drum major now is in the full strength at West Linn is the greatest news of the year. The band fully equipped in Green and Gold is the grandist and snappiest band in the state of Oregon. The lull in between quarters, halfs and time out is now filled^ Not with some substitute but with West Linn, spirit and achievement carrying on in the fight song that makes the opponent set up and wish to be a member of a Student Body, led by a band of such merit. The standout fact of the West Linn Band is that a ma jority of the members are under classmen and the merit now achieved will carry on in future years with the same glory. Even the attitude taken by the students during practice is far above superior, proving that the ability for success is not only at the game but at a time ,hardest to arouse success, dur ing the practice. Any organization must have as it solid foundation, a leader—a person who must act the executive position and at the same time have the ability to lead with the cooperation of all persons involved. The West Linn High Band has such a person, Mr. Fred Wade, who not only has achieved this standout ability, but has gone far above such a standard and has produced the band of the nation. West Linn High under the leadership of the band marches on. COME ON CHILL'IN LE'S DANCE The Student Body sponsored a school dance a few weeks ago, after much persuasion and coaxing by the students. The dance was held in the gymnasium and a fairly large crowd attended, but only two or three people would dance. The girls sat on one side and the boys On the other. A dance, as you all must know, takes a lot of preparation and time of the students, as well as the chaperons that attend. Furnishing enough music is a problem, decorating takes time, and then after all this trouble everybody just sits around. If you don’t know how to dance, get out and at least try, after all, a dance is sponsored for the benefit of you students and if you make a flop of it, nobody can be blamed, but your self. Let’s see a little more response at the next dance, make it something to look forward to.
