THAT’S T. H. S. FOE YOU
The Value Ot
Being In The Band
There are many people who
criticize the school for its em-
phasis on outside activities, but
as a member of the band. J
would like tr. fell them the prac-
tical value of this particular out-
side activity.
From the band you learn a
great many things: how to co-
operate and work togetner. You
learn that at times you have to
depend on ihe other fellow, a.ftd
that he also has to depend out)
you. There is resf*m»ibiUry in-
volved in which you take care Of
your own equipment. You also
lew* the value of teamwork, ft*
without each one’s doing irauvf-
dual part, the band would b®
nothing. - - t-—< -■ -
In later life the influence at
the band will help you a great
dee! You will be a better cltfi
zen and more considerate tof other
people Teamwork will appear t#
the job you lake or the home yotl
build — especially the tonne Wf#i
There will also be res pons iVsiity
in everything you do. The peopl*
who are cirtical do tick under-
stand, or do not realty stop to
think, that there are some very
outstanding things io learn from
being in a high school band —

i Senior Salesmen
On The Prowl
On Thursday, October 22, the
senior class of Taft High School
w*nt “all out” to make some
money tot their sensor trip selling
vacUite rilatk pepper. After
school the members of the class
v:ot into different cars sad each
car was as,siynt?I certain streets
to cover. From house to house
! they went with their little sales-
the
ings of the afternoon, some of
which were very humorous.
Lots of people probably
when they saw the seniors coming
but as amateurs I think they
made pretty good salesmen. A
nice profit was made that after-
ri-onn, U anyone still want* some
vanilla or black pepper, just con-
tact ?! senior who will he glad to
bring some to the door.
