If' . lnshfmfnental Wlusu: The Classen Orchestra has made first division for the last five years. This year, the contest was cancelled because of the war situ- ation. The instrumental music department has won the grand cham- pion award offered alternately at A. and M. and O. U. during the entire time Mr. Oakley Pittman has been director here. The Classen Concert Band was selected at the state clinic in Stillwater as the outstanding state band. Combined with the orches- tra, it has won the state sweepstakes the past Hve years. The Pep Band is frequehtly called upon, both for school occa- sions and for civic groups, to exucle peppery inspiration. Perhaps their most important activity this year has been to play for trains of departing soldiers. Page 27 Leland Harrison, handsome red-haired drum major of the band, shakes a wicked shake.
