cruiting Drive
Starts For Band
Members In CITY

"A campaign is under way in the
Music Department of the London
Public Schools to recruit students
for the school band. Students from
the fifth through the ninth grades
are needed to start instruction on a
band instrument to mainain a we'll
balanced band in the future, ac-
cording to w. Ray Creighton, di-
rector.
"All parents desire their children
to play some musical instruments,
and the schools offer the best OPP
portunity for them to do so. IN
fortunately, every child is not nat
urally adapted to playing a musical
instrument.
''In order to determine those best
suited to participate, scientific
tests have been given to determine
the inherent musical ability of the
children. Arrangements will be
made whereby instruments may be
rented for three months to make
sure the children will succeed be-
fore further investment is made.
Parents whose children successful
ly pass the test will be notified" I"

At 7::35 Chalmers Hixson, an of
ficial in the Central Ohio Officials
Association will present fifteen
to twenty minute talk on rules and
regulations for basketball. During
the talk he will use players to
demonstrate his points.
Coach Chadwell will introduce
the players at 7:55 and the warm
up session will get started for both
teams at 8:05. The scrimmage
game will begin at 800 with Chal
mers Hixon and Jay Truitt as Off
Gals.
Coach Chadwell emphasized that
there is no charge for the game,
and that all people interested in
the school and basketball are re-
quested to attend The reaction to
the first meet-the-team night will
determine whether or not it is to
become an annual affair.
BY game time Saturday the Gag
ers of London High School will
have had two other scrimmage ses-
sions, and will be ready to show
pretty well how they will play the
rest of the season. The starting
lineup should be fairly well estab-
lished by that time, and players
should be in the habit of working
with their teammates.
Letterman Dick Meade who play
ed center last year, the tallest man
on the Red Raider team, is expect
ed to be back in that position this
season. Of course, since the game
is a scrimmage session, Coach
Chadwell may easily transfer play
ers from position to position and
from bench to position to see the
reaction with opposition.
Although London's team will not
be the tallest in the area, they are
expected to play good brand of
ball, with resulting victories.
