It was decided by the executive' of the Richmond Hill Police Boys Band Association that the school- work percentage limit which has been previously reported, was too high. After checking with Principal F. W. Morrow of the Richmond Hill High School on the average percentages earned by students. the board came up with the following regulation: each member of the band, major- ette corps, drill team and color party, must have at least a pass- ing grade (50%) to be a member of the organization, and must have at least 70% to become an olficer. When these figures are reviewed at certain times during the year, these regulations may be waived if a boy or girl has shown evidence of hard work and an attempt to improve in school. It goes without saying that should any boy or girl in the group have trouble at home, at school or with the police. they are automatically dropped from the ranks.
