BAND PARENTS PARENT- TEACHERS ASSOCIATION The annual band contest Is the highest test of the band's achievement. During eoch year, every member has his part to play showing his year’s ac- complishment. The Band Parents Association has financed the band's trips and purchased new instruments. Money is raised by the annual Tag Day. the card party and three concerts. The Association is made up of parents of band members, who constantly strive to make band work more interesting to its members. The theme used this year by the Parent-Teachers Association is Youth Moves On to New Horizons. In this study, they group the problems facing the American youth of today who are the people of tomorrow. As a part of this year's program, they again sponsored tuberculosis tests, and made a donation to the county tuberculosis fund. Other of their projects which deserve a hearty vote of thanks were the raising of money for needy students and the final payments on the box set for the stage. A subject of particular interest this year to the people of Downers Grove has been the purchase of six of Mr. Lane K. Newberry's paintings, known throughout the United States and exhibited at both world fairs. BAND PARENTS Mr. Vogde. Mrs. Hortzlcr. Mr. Noramore. Mrs. Smous.
