BAND .np as , As we sit in the bleachers at Heise field just before the game, we hear in the distance the roll of drums. As we listen, it becomes louder until the monoton- ous beat of the drum breaksg there is a roll, and seventy instruments blast forth in unison, Stand Up and Cheern. So we rise to our feet as the crowd sings the strains of that familiar song. Today we sit in the auditorium for our Thursday assembly. The curtain is drawn and the music begins softly, hardly audible, then becomes louder until the climax is reached, and we are left up there to drift down to sweeter strains. Is it possible that this change is made in the band since last fall? From loud peppy music to that of the concert! This, the flexible Gallon band has done in a very praise-worthy manner. The achievements of Walter Von Brock and the band will stand forever in the archives of the High School. The band received a rating of two in the district contest at Lorain, and a rating of three at the state contest at Columbus. These are the laurels won by the band this year.

F007Bflll Galion High's Orange Hashes blew the lid off their 1939 football season Fri- day, September 15, with a promising victory over their weaker neighbor, Mt. Gilead. The score was 42 to 6. An almost capacity crowd turned out to get a look at a new, fast, but inexperienced Galion aggregation. This game also marked the dedication of the new field house. The Orangemen engaged and lost two other games before starting league competition. The first was to Crestline 19 to 6 and second was to Carey, 13 to 0. Galion entered her league schedule with hopes high, but was seemingly em- bedded in a losing streak and lost a poorly played game to Mt. Vernon 24 to O. However the following week at Ashland the Orangemen made their best show- ing of the year, outplaying and holding scoreless a strong Hilltopper eleven. The struggle, which ended in a scoreless tie, was regarded as a moral victory for the home team. This game was followed with a none too impressive victory over one of the weakest Bucyrus teams in her history, Galion winning in the final quartet 13 to 6. Coaches Burnison and Mackey drilled their inexperienced procligees end- lessly the weeks preceding the Marion and Shelby tilts but their effort seemingly was in vain as the Orangemen were hopelessly outclassed by the League Champion Harding team and lost by the overwhelming score of 54 to 6. The Shelby game a week later was a repetition of the Mt. Vernon game where- by Galion played as a second-half team. The Orangemen, who have never won a victory on Skiles field at Shelby, kept this record intact, going down to defeat by the score of Z4 to 6. VARSITY SEASON September 15 ..... ...... Galion 42-Mt.
