Band Byron's band under the direction of Mr. Daane was a greatly improved group this year both in size and ability. With thirty-two members now playing and a great number in grade school busily learning, the school should be able to look forward to an outstanding musical group in a few years. This year a Band Parents Club was organized and the group was successful in acquir- ing new uniforms for the whole band. Membership is still increasing. This whole-hearted interest of the community is greatly appreciated. The band was active this year playing at football games, basketball games, the senior play, and at concerts.

MUSIC DIRECTOR Calvin Daane, Byron's new music director, has done much to enlarge and improve our band and choruses. He came to us directly from the Teachers' College, Columbia University, where he received his Master of Arts degree. Mr. Daane graduated from Mission House Academy at Plymouth, Wisconsin; attended the University of Wis- consin; served with the Infantry in Germany; played in a dance band in Germany, also in Nebraska and Kansas. He graduated from the State Teachers' College in Mil- waukee before he attended Columbia University. Since his coming to Byron, he has proven himself as a teacher and musician. — 28 —
