SING YOUR OWN SONG Dept. And let us not forget the musicians who made this song a classic, The Tiger Band. This dedicated group of instrumentalists put their own personal touch into each note to fill the air with melodious harmony. The group, led by Captain August Trollman, would gather together and play before the eager ears of the awaiting crowd. When this group of musicians broke into the Star Spangled Banner grown men were seen to weep. Captain S N rJ X x xx ll 1 f 9 KA? '1 f Kitty Miers practices on Tiger Rag . E Trollman, known as the Lawrence Welk of Ark City, was determined that this band would represent the institution well. To this end, his goals were accomplished. ln these troubled times it's good to know that we still have the joy of music to bring happiness into our lives. Ah yes, those melodic tones which bring joy to our hearts and a tear to our eyes can be found in that old inspirational tune, which we all know and love, Tiger Rag. Yes, friends, Tiger Rag is one of those tunes that we hear from time to time. It brings back fond memories of those 'good old days' when life was carefree and each day was filled with sunshine. Yes, that blessed tune Tiger Rag moves us to higher deeds and stirs our uncontrollable emotions! From the pages of Pure Gold , ever resounding notes of joyful praise feed our soul with resurgent spiritual uplifting. Band members find time to play for all home games throughout the season.

These partlee always were cancelled, though, due to the fact that no member evergotmarrled. At last, Bob made lt outslde the bulldlng and stopped. Some of the members were pals wlth one another, but Bob dldn't have any frlends at all except Mrs. Mass at the l-lome. and Sublime Domlno, who had flrst lnvlted hlm to loin the Mad Gobllns Lonely Hearts Society.
