This year has marked a new high for Cathedrals Band. Everyone is proud of the success attained by the boys, but none more so than the Band s director, Mr. Bernard L. Miller. The Mothers Club has fallen for the Professor ' s boys in a big way. On Mothers ' Day, May 11, the Band made its first appearance donned in the classy new uniforms of blue and gold recently purchased by the Mothers ' Club. Cathedral had a band of which the school and the city of Belleville can be justly proud. The Band ranks amongst the best in Illinois. Seven members of the Band, Edward Heman, Theodore Gundlach, Joseph Gund ' lach, Richard Wuller, Robert Miller, Robert Huber, and Calvin Truttmann, are grad ' uating this year and their places will be difficult to fill. But each year the grade school bands of the city furnish us with a goodly number of very capable musicians, so it is hoped the vacancies caused by graduation will be ably filled. Page Twcnty ' onc
