Band This year the school band, in its second year of existence, was greatly strengthened in each section by the entrance of the grade sevens. Under the capable direction of Mr. White, all members worked diligently. They gave the public a chance to see their performing ' at the school ' s Christmas Concert and also at a concert at the Y.M.C.A. In mid-March the uniforms for the band arrived. These smart professional-looking outfits of blue and white gave the musicians a look of class. A blue and silver flag with the letters E.P.J.H. surrounding a four flamed torch was designed especially as the band ' s emblem. In May, our musicians went to Moose Jaw to compete against bands from all over the country. Here they gave a very successful performance. From the achievements of the band this year, we can see that it has become an essential part of the school ' s activities.
