Our new gymnasium, added two years ago, shifted several departments in the main building. Our beautiful library and our spacious lunch room were made possible by the removal to the new Wing of our physical training work. Before that time one by one the ends of the short halls were boarded off and given over to class rooms. The experiment room next the physics labora- tory was taken over, the botany room, the modeling room, and the large bookkeeping room were each divided. The long hall in the fourth floor was changed to make three new recitation rooms. The big mechanical drawing room was cut into three, the old wood shop became two mechanical drawing rooms. The three locker rooms in the basement became four class rooms. In the twenty-two years of our life in what we used to call the new school we have added twenty-five additional rooms. Is it not as true now as then to sing: And now we have that school, boys, and deep down in our hearts, We feel the joy of being true to dear Mechanic Arts. --MABEL A. COLTER. Page Fifteen ?

W V N Q I-. 1 THE BAND In the fall of 1927 the Band was organized with the idea of being an aid to greater enthusiasm at athletic assemblies and games. It numbered about thirty boys and one lone girl, who played a saxaphone, and its repertoire con- sisted of marches and school songs. Growing rapidly, it soon undertook the study and performance of more serious music, and the last few years, numbering approximately eighty members, it has performed only the highest type of con- cert music. The band has represented St. Paul at the State lyfusic Contest at the Uni- versity of Minnesota every year since 1928, the only band to so represent the city. It annually gives a series of concerts at Como ,Park on Sunday evenings in May and June, and takes part in many civic and patriotic parades and assemblies. It won first place in the Santa Claus parade in December. It is the aim of the band to be as big a help as it can to sp-read goodwill for the school throughout the city and to add its bit to the enjoyment and to the musical education ofthe school it so proudly represents. -EMMETT A.
