CONCERT BAND THAT music hath charms is undisputed. The helpless child or the strongest general is captivated by its magic powers. Alexander the Great was never conquered by man: yet he was overcome by the wonderful influence of music. lt could draw tears of iron down Pluto's cheek. The year of l938 marked an epoch in the band history of Alma College. Our alumni, sporting their Scotch blood, gave out and outfitted our worthy Alma College band with Scotch Kilties in theltoyal McPherson Tartan and now Alma claims the title of one of the two college bands in the United States, uniformed in complete Scotch kilts. Accompanying every student at the halves of our foot- ball games, parades, and numerous college functions, was a quickening of his purse, a returning of a forgotten gleam in his eyes, and a lift to his heart as he watched the Kilties, led by Hugh Flying Stick Garrison, and supplemented by the whining shirl of the pipes of lack Bryce, march on the turf. And again the Alma College band has given several concerts and have been acclaimed for their interpretations of overtures and marches at many occasions. lt is a rare opportunity that the band men have in the privilege that they enjoy working under a person of such ability in music as that which is possessed by the instructor, Prof. less W. Ewer. 81 Top.Row, left to right: lack San- ders, Harold Teak, Mark Todd, Eve- lyn Wellwood, Iames Emms, Walter Ruthig, William Morrison, Anna lean Sherman, Ralph Brown, Carl Wahlsten.

ALMANIAN EDITED by Margaret Arnold, Traverse City Iunior, the Al- manian has completed another year of news reporting and commentating. This official news organ of Alma College has appeared weekly except vacations the entire year, never having missed a publication date. Perhaps the two big stories of the year were the address by Colonel Frank Knox, Alma's most distinguished alumnus, and the advent of Religious Emphasis week with speeches by Rev. Benjamin Bush, Presbyterian pastor of Detroit, both of which the Almanian took in stride in addition to the numerous stories on and about the campus. Registering the temper of the student mind on our campus, the Almanian has proved itself not afraid to take its stand for some worthy object or against some unworthy act. Chief columnists this year have been Douglas Clack, Consulting Editorg Bill Wright, and Herb Spendlove who de- voted much time and energy for the paper. Some of the main features included the new type headlines, and the roto- gravure Collegiate Digest. Standing out in the point of service to the Almanian are Business Manager, Kenneth Hathaway, and Circulation Manager, Mary Allen. 80

SINCE its founding in 1930 by Professor I. W. Ewer, the A Cappella Choir has held its own among the various student organizations until today it stands head and shoulders above the other campus groups, both in accomplishments and membership. The group was started with a merger of the boys' and girls' glee clubs and at its start ran into many difficulties. ln the nine years that have followed its birth the Choir today ranks as the fastest growing group on the campus, so much so, that a limit has been extended to the membership, fifty voices composing the personnel. Out of the A Cappella Choir grew the small or Chapel Choir which also enjoys a fine reputation among the musical organiza- tions of the state of Michigan. A CAPPELLA CHOIR Top ROW, left to right: M.
