Show H January 31, 1963 THE SPRINGVILLE (UTAH) HERALD Page Three ' jCetter to llie Editor Reasons given for absence of marching band support it, (3) a school which will do more than merely put it in the schedule, and (4) a director who will consistantly provide the leadership. We must discover what the prob-lem is, and then proceed to solve it. The first half of the new uniforms (hats, trousers and ties) was purchased in the fall of 1960 and uesed at the BYU Band Show that year. Partial funds for the remaining part (coat and plumes) were raised by the students and are still available. Funds set aside by the school to match that raised by the students for uniforms were diverted in 1961-6- 2 into another activity. At the time money was being raised, var-ious business organizations, clubs and civic groups were invited to make contributions. One construction company, a PTA organization and three women's clubs responded out of forty-tw- o organizations con-tacted. Other responses ranged between indifference and bel-ligerence. Dear Editor: I have read with interest your recent letters from citi-zens regrding the Springville High School Band.. I feel in-clined to make public my as-sessments o fthe situation. The current impression seems to be that the band is a thing of the past. Springville High School has a concert band at the present time which is a credit to both the school and the community. You have only to attend their next program to see and hear for yourself. It is unfortunate that the band is not engaged in march- - ing activities at the present. However, to lose sight of fair-ly recent records the band has made in this activity is not fair to the director and the fine students who participated during those years. The band received fine ratings at Reg-ional Marching Festivals in 1955, 1956, 1957 and 1960. Utah County communities (including Springville) enjoyed a Spring-ville High marching band for summer celebrations in 1954, 1955 and 1956. Our band par-ticipated in the Band Days The music program in our schools is not to be out-don- e by any community in the state. Let's not down-grad- e our many outstanding students and their fine past accomplishments for a deficiency in one particular area at the present. We must decide if we are helping to solve the problem or if we are actually a part of the prob-lem. Sincerely, ' GEORGE C. PUCKETT. show at B.Y.U. in the fall of 1960. One of only two First Division ratings in the Region was won by Springville High Band in Spring of 1957. We must give credit for past accomplishments and then at-tempt to find reasons for and solutions to present problems. The band has had four dif-ferent directors during the last ten years. Some directors have been more inclined to-ward marching than others. It takes years to build the tradi-tion necessary to excell in this particular activity. This tradi-tion cannot follow such rapid changes in directors. A suc-cessful high school marching band is possible only when we have the following: (1) students who are willing, (2) a community willing to really ' Mapleton Hews By Mrs. Lyle W.

We read where they've been studying the sleeping ha- - mrms-'v- ' bits of ba-- 1 Sb. , bies. It seems If"; , ' ! j that newborn g- - ' j infants don't if ' sleep as long i; v in a day as egxt . i some people thought. Any I g& , , new father! " t could have! s' , told us that I ' f without do- - I f ing research. On the first day the average baby sleeps seventeen hours. By the third day, it's down to six-teen. In the beginning, the long-est they'll sleep is about four hours. They re like primitive ani-mals during this stage, who have short periods of sleep rather than one long one. Babies sleep both longer at a stretch and fewer hours a day as they get older, and higher brain areas take over. By the seventh or eighth month babies can sleep hours at a time . . as long as they don't get hun-gry or hear a noise. In other words, it takes intelligence to sleep long hours ... or to stay awake. So next time someone complains about you sleeping in too late, you can point out that it takes brains to do it . . .
