Band HE Band started out last tall as a rather inexperienced group of about fifty. none too well organized. They played at the football games and steadily improved. However. the appearance of the group was a big drawback. Half of the boys were entirely without uniforms. and those who did have them. were not properly fitted. As a whole the boys looked badly on the held. They are to be commended for playing at all under these circumstances. Mr. Switzer secured sailor trousers and caps which helped considerably for temporary uniforms. An order has been placed for new uniforms for next fall. These are to be the best-looking and most up-to-date uniforms in the state. we are assured. Despite this handicap, the Band has improved so greatly during the year that Mr. Wec'ker has decided to enter it in the State Contest at Kalamazoo May l 1 and 15. Mr. Karl Wecker, director, and the fellows of the Band all deserve a great deal of credit for their hard work during the year. Many members will graduate in June and so many places will be vacated. Mr. Wec'ker hopes that many more people will be interested and willing to help the band grow next year. One Hundred One
