Musicians Before the Public Like the minstrels that went about enter- taining the people of the Viking Age so has Creston's band under the direction of Mr. joel Lowe, entertained us during this past year. New uniforms made it one of the best- dressed bands in the city. These uniforms were displayed at every city football game and at the final basketball game. Other activities with which the band was occupied during the past year in addition to athletic contests were parades and concerts. It took part in a parade for the benefit of the Community fund and was also viewed by many people in the annual Santa Claus parade. At another time the band marched to the Creston business district and played Christmas hymns for the benefit of the community. This splendid organization, made up as it is of students from every grade, is a fine example of musical talent at Creston. fl9
