Many students forgot about not having a Homecoming pa rade after apparently having a real ball at the post-game dance. Numerous people expressed hopes that this idea will be continued next year. They especially liked having three queens. There are still some CHHS- ers who haven’t gotten over one particular ride at this year’s State Fair. They can’t figure out how centrifugal force can keep you plastered against the wall of that Rotor after the floor has been dropped out from under you. It’s scientific law, man!

Normally a few students drop out each year, but this year a huge hole was left by departing members. Of the 58 people who are eligible to play an instru ment, all were a given special invitation to rejoin the group. Only twenty are now participa ting during sixth period classes, because conflicting schedules have prevented the others from taking band at this time. The Sertoma Club, one of Chapel Hill’s civic organiza tions, is the band’s main spon sor. They worked hard this sum mer to earn $600 by selling Marchal Hankies, and they are now running a stand at Caro lina foobtall games to raise money for any materials needed in the band. This year, for the first time, their instruments and uniforms are not being used. Small membership also pre vails in the marching hand. The “marchers’’ are most of the regular hand members plus some of the students who only have free time to come to the Monday and Wednesday after school practices. Recently this band was dis continued since there weren’t enough people to show up on the football field. This was not only distressing for CHHSers, but also for the majorettes, be cause they spent over $100 for uniforms and much valuable time for practice this past summer. After the rousing efforts several weeks ago of a few students the “marchers” tried to get back on their feet. At the first meeting thirty musicians showed up for prac tice of whom eight are in junior high. At the next meeting only twenty came showing that again there was evident lack of in terest, but once again the band traveled out on the field be ginning with the homecoming game with Northern. Mr. Rierson isn’t particularly optimistic about this year’s band. Knowing that it will take time, he plans a rebuilding program beginning in the fifth grade on up. “A lot of young instrumenta lists are on their way up. For future years, we’ll have a good band. I’d say year after next. A small membership prevents the band from being very ac tive now, so we have no pro grams planned.” The fifth graders that Mr. Rierson spoke of are in the beginner’s band, which is of fered in all Chapel Hill element ary schools. This also includes all the sixth graders and the junior high. These youngsters are chosen for the band by taking music apptitude tests which are given to everyone. Those with satis factory scores are given an in vitation to join. In this way the young people can begin develop ing their musical talents at an early age. If Mr. Rierson is here, he plans to have an elementary school band at each school, a junior high band, and a senior high band. 1*1 * 9S/T ‘ Featurephoto by Pete Range i,ND!—Band director Fred Rierson leads .1 leix^. ^ festive note to the air during CORRECTION Contrary to what the Pro- conian printed in the last is sue, Anne Prescott attended Country Day School for girls near Virginia Beach, Va. in stead of Princess Ann High in Virginia Beach.

Secretary High Schoolers Trick or Treat For UNICEF Chapel Hill High School stu dents joined in last night with youths from hundreds of Ameri can communities to “Trick or Treat” for UNICEF, a nation wide movement. At 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Octo ber 30, fifteen groups of CHHS’- ers left the Chapel Hill High auditorium to blanket the Chapel Hill-Carrboro vicinity to collect pennies, nickles, dimes, and quarters for UNICEF, in their milk cartons.

Sponsoring the UNICEF Drive, was the UCYM (United Christian Youth Movement). This included all church groups, Y-Teens, and the Student Council, in town.

The delegates will convene to meet students with similar in terests in student council work and to get new and varied ideas for improving individual student governments.

About 70 people, so far, have opened their homes for “bread and bed” the nights of Novem ber 2 and 3. The delegates will adhere to the program presented on page 3. CHHSers Work Hard In planning for the Congress, Subir Roy, president of the CHHS Student Council, has assigned various duties to mem bers of the council. Jinx Herring and Iris Woot ton are in charge of registra tion. Diana Houston is to get paper for the ballots and flowers for decorations. Jackie Green wood is to see Mrs. Sneed about art decorations.

Later on, 9 members of the band will play in a wood wind ensemble. Mrs. Sullivan Comments Mrs. Bernadine Sullivan, ad viser to tne CHHS Student Council and a member of the SCA planning committee, said that she thought the Congress was a very good idea. It would allow student council represent atives from different schools to become acquainted, and thus draw their student councils closer together. CHHS is an excellent place to have the con vention because it is centrally located and has never had it be fore. She said, “CHHS is very for tunate to have the SCA Con gress here this year. We will benefit from it if the students show more participation. Be cause of our limited facilities, this is a challenge to all CHHS- Raine Remsburg . . . President Subir Roy . . .
