while lt can. Band Finishing off with flying colors, the school band made a flne impression on the stu- dents and faculty members. Being the first Leilehua band organized in slx years, it was not expected to be able to play for football games and other occasions. It surprised 'every- one when it was on hand to play for the first pep rally of the year. With 43 members enrolled, the players are looking forward to an equally successful second year. Miss Helen Brown is the instructor and Philson Owen, senior, is the bandmaster. This year, only a few members are able to play regular band pieces. Next year, however, more than forty members are expected to enroll. If possible, the band will give a concert next year to prove their ability. Public ap- pearances for this year have been few, but the improvement has been enormous. With con- dltlons as they are now, there may be a large band at Lellehua soon.
