Free- man, gloried in their music at all Belmont ' s foot- ball games; from the Maynard tussle to the climactic Watertown fray. An added attraction this year was a four man color guard which also made its a])i)earance at the rugby games.

Directed by a student conductor, the hand entertained the physical educators from all sections of the state who congregated at the High School for their conference in March. Concluding their playing at Mr. Stone’s annual concert, the hand consummated its season by play- ing for the Memorial Day parade and the Senior graduation. [ 12 ]
