THE SCHOOL BAND The Kief f man Music Company formed our first band in September, 1928. This band con- sisted of 23 instruments which were bought by tl e school board at a total cost of SI,790.00. The band instrumentation is at present well bal- anced and consists of the following instruments: 15 clarinets, 8 saxophones, 10 cornets, 2 mclio- phones, 5 trombones, 3 basses, 3 baritones, 3 snare drums and 1 bass drum. Last spring our band purchased attractive maroon and gold capes which improved the looks of Ihe band a great deal. The direction of the band has been under the following leaders: Mr. Clive Cleary, 1929- 1930; Mr. Julius Bankman, 1930-1932: and Mr. Theodore Haugland, 1932-1937. Enrollments have increased as follows: 11 members in 1930; 23 in 1931: 28 in 1932: 38 in 1933: 40 in 1934; 37 in 1935; 45 in 1936 and fifty at the present time. The band has played an important part in all school activities, besides giving concerts dur- ing the summer months. They have also par- ticipated in many events, some of which are: Memorial Day Parade: July Fourth: Baseball games at Lexington Park; Legion Convention at Stillwater: Kolackr Day at Montgomery; and a band contest at the Minnesota State Fair, at which they placed seventh in fifteen bands of various classifications. The officers of the band are: Merton Mel- bostad. president: Katherine Tolzman, vice pres- ident; Marjorie Taylor, secretary and treasurer: Ailccn Kuefler, custodian of the uniforms and 11a Mac Anderson and Ronald Hilken. librarians. These nine years of band work have been a great credit to the school and it is expected that this organization will continue to grow in size, importance and success as it has in the past. Agriculture Classes Make Many Trips A feature of the New Agriculture Classes which appeals to all of the students is the pro- vision for making trips by school busses to places of interest. Many local trips are made during regular class periods to judge Livestock, identify weeds, select seed corn, dig seed pota- toes and prune orchards. The three oustanding trips of the year are: to the Junior Livestock Show at South St. Paul, where outstanding 4-H Club members show their livestock and poultry and where a trip is made through the Swift packing plant: to Farm and Home Week at the University Farm: and to the annual High School Agricultural Congress at the University Farm where high school judging teams compete in judging livestock, poultry and crops. Last June our livestock judges placed as follows: Ray Tolzvnan, Theodore Heisler and Gail Burbeck, ninth place for livestock teams in judging beef- cattle, with Ray Tolzman placing second among individual judges; Theodore Heisler, third place individual swine judge; Maurice Boehm, Kermit Carlson. George Johnson and Paul Shelander, tenth place, dairy teams; Kermit Grajiberg, tenth place in judging Holsteins, Eighty-one high schools compete ! in this contest.
