1 Band If you should hear birds chirping, bears growl- ing, and a sudden blast from a Mississippi boat whistle all coming from the fourth floor some noon - don't get excited- -it's only the indis- pensable Junior College Band, preparing for one of their numerous concerts. This organization, which meets every Monday, Wednesday, and Fri- day noon consists of approximately fifty men and three women. It not only adds color and enthusi- asm to the football games - executing intricate formations at each - but also plays for basketball games and assemblies. V This year the Band made a' two-day tour of northern Michigan, staying overnight in Luding- ton. A few major catastrophies occurred during the tour such as split reeds, and some flat notes, but it can safely be said that the band upheld the fine reputation that it has earned throughout the past year. One of the major events sponsored by the Band was their dance, The Tuba Toot,' on March four- teenth. Junior College can really be proud of this outstanding organization which does so much to promote and further the ideals of the College. . g .,... f'fLuc,L-5 . Q 5-..-uc. C. y y p,,uJ -LJ V W Llama!

That good music is improved by a good choir has been proved by the versatile top-flight performances given by our organization this season. In the Fall the Choir sang over the radio, giv- ing a half hour of good music including some spe- cial numbers by the boys' sextet, and three solos. Also in the first semester the Choir had the pleas- ure of t being invited to give a concert at East Congregational Chulech which was highly praised by all those who heard it. President . . . .

Besides the choir group there are two sextets formed within it, a boys' and a girls'. Miss Eliza- beth Gounos, expert pianist, has, throughout the year, played for both the Choir and sextets, and for the continual and excellent work she has done the School is greatly indebted to her. The high spot of the year and climax of the Choir's program for the year was the production of the c4Mikado by Gilbert and Sullivan put on and staged by Mr. Wing and Mr. Cunningham. It surpassed the hopes of the directors and added greatly to the reputation of both the choir and the School.

Bu iness Administration lub The business world of today is not the simple, incomplex structure that it was a few decades ago. To become better acquainted with this new world has become the purpose of the Business Adminis- tration Club. To further this purpose experts on distribution, merchandising, manufacturing, and tourist business, have given talks to the club throughout the year. Aside from the practical aspects of the club's calendar, there was a picnic at Fallasburg Park President . . Martha Erickson Vice-President . Jess Ramaker Secretary . Dorothy Morris Treasurer . . Robert Bonswor Now the Law of Marginal Utility states . . where everyone stuffed themselves and seemed to forget all about ubusinessf' The most successful function of the year, according to the Club mem- bers was the annual Bus. Ad. Banquet which if possible was more successful this year than ever before. Mr. Kremble, the club adviser, should be con- gratulated on the fine efficiency and record of the Club during the past year.
