As the Blue and Gold banner came into view, a lamiliar Figure, Nick Mayer, could be discerned marching at its head. A burst of applause issued from the spectators, and, at that moment, St. Mary's Band was a success. The activities of the Band throughout the year have been numerous. Its contributions to the school activities were centered about the football season. Its cooperation during the games en- Iivened the drooping spirits ot the players and spectators alilce. Besides these appearances, the Band has given concerts in the school hall and has made another public appearance at the theater. The distinguishing feature which will ever remain in the memoryyoi the Seniors, was the re- marlcable participation of the Band during the last football game of the season. Casting oFf its formal airs, this organization entered wholeheartedly into the spirit of the team, and led the Victory March from the Field to the school. The Band has been the pride OI St. Mary's School and has brilliant future ahead. I page thirty-four I
