School Board Will Buy The Band Uniforms The Board of Education Wednesday night authorized the purchase of 10 and one-half 1 band uniforms to increase the number to 7U Authorization came following the request of Music Director Ward Pscherer.

The one-half uniform, as explained by Pscherer, result- ed when one pair of slacks did not fit and a new Pair vvere or' dered. "ic umiuum m t-an- mated at $600. Tne other 59 12 uniforms were of no cost to the school board however. They were provided by band parents, who put out more than $3,200 for them. Since the Band Parents have pur- chasprt mnsirnl instrumpnts to , the tune of $500. the board read- , ily granted the uniform request. Pscherer also requested that the board, if possible, obtain a part-time music teacher to re lieve some of his load. Unable to give proper supervision to soloists and small groups, be cause of the heavy time demand, he suggested that a part-time teacher be obtained to super vise elementary music and jun ior high vocal. Board members then instruct ed Superintendent Friest to in quire for a part-time music and elementary grade school teach er. The general thinking is, that i a teacher be obtained to teach half day in one of the lower grades.
