BAND The band has had a full ye?r of activities, beginning in the fall with the football games. Noontime found the band raemoers drilling on the football field and marching down the streets, in preparation for the marching exhioitions which they gave for the football games. Within three weeks after school began, the band gave its first concert. This was in connection with a Community Bond Drive,and was the first chance to do our part for patriotism. They led the Community Hallowe'en parade, and soon afterwards, began training for music for the basketball season. At one of the games, they gave an effective patriotic demonstration, leading the student body in the national anthem. The band will take an active part in the Bone Auction, and will present its annual Spring Concert in May.
