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.

,,kmx s sw e ffct X A Dream Come True For several years the school library consisted of a narrow space at the rear of the assembly hall, with barely room enough for four tables, a dozen chairs, and a few book cases against the wall. But we were happy to have this toe-hold fit was too small to be called a foot-holdj and every year the state Fire Nlarshall solemnly told me it was a great fire hazard and contrary to all law. However, visions and dreams were a-stir in our heads, and all our plans were prefaced by when we get a new libraryf, At last things began to happen. The new gym was a-buildingg the old gym was seething with new paraphernalia from the enlarged lunch-roomg and what had been the old running track was working itself into the new library. Then, moving-day came, and the books were carried in jubilant proces- sion into the new quarters where new books and new equipment were awaiting them. The new day for the school library had dawnedl But students today know what a spacious, altogether delightful place it is. Our friends and old Gradsw must visit us to see for themselves. This picture shows but one busy group which is truly typical of every period of the day. 'NETTIE L. DUGAS. Page Nineteen
