llN lHIlHll wfvafki, Although the members ot the band had to become accustomed to a new style of directing this year, it didn't keep them from turning out some very sharp concerts. Mr. Heron's popularity with his musicians enabled band and director to work together in the kind ot close harmony that spells enjoyment for all who listen. One of the band's hardest tasks was the Thanksgiving Parade when they marched in near- blizzard weather and were slightly handicapped by instruments which were frozen stiff and solid, The highlight of the year was, of course, the spring con- cert. Everyone loved the crashing overtures and poignant show tunes. We are all proud to look upon the Murray Band and call it ours, Q . ,uf . -4 ,- 'I-vu A ver r a y to direct the b d 0 e leader, Mr. Alexond H

Accompanied by the stirring call of trum- pets, the thunder of the basses, and the pip- ing of the flutes, the Murray Band marched splendidly through the season attired in trim new uniforms. All through the fall, teachers plaintively complained of the din of the band trudging back and forth in front of the building, and students glanced frequently out of the windows. These glances at best were hardly reassuring. The marchers seemed to be wandering about looking completely lost. No one ever quite figured out how, on the night of the game, that group of cold and bewildered practicers was transformed into a straight-ranked, compact marching band able to execute complicated manoeuvers. Through every pep assembly and game this gallant outfit proudly supported our cham- pionship team.
