Organized in l922, iT sTruggled along wiThouT a direcTor unfil The Tollowing year when ProT. Ewer oT The vocal deparTmenT was persuaded To Take iT over. The TirsT ap- pearance oT The band was made when abouT a dozen Tellows swung a iam session aT Two TooTball games. For The pasT Two years The alumni oT The college have been heading a drive Tor The purpose oT buying new uniTorms Tor The band. The ScoTch lcilTies were chosen. Due To lack OT Tunds The uniTorms were noT purchased lasT Tall as planned. buT iT is believed ThaT when The musicians reTurn nexT year They will be greeTed wiTh The garb oT The highlanders. The plaid ThaT has been chosen is copied aTTer ThaT worn by The Macpher- son clan. The Band is sTricTly exTra-curricular and pracTices one nighT a weelc. Prior To The depression iT Took a Tour ThroughouT The sTaTe each spring, buT because oT The ex- pense involved These Trips have been cancelled. lTs sole TuncTion now is playing Tor TooTball and basl4eTball games. Edward L. HeTh, sTudenT direcTor, has proved an invaluable asseT To The band. l-le has wriTTen some oT Their selecTions, and he is consTanTly re-arranging pieces. Through his eTTorTs The band has been revived and appears To be on The way back as one oT The raTed organizaTions on The campus.
