Band NEW UNIFORMS llou frienJs, for your ruppor£ Dreamers say that dreams come true, and Harmony is enjoying the dream of having a band that is dressed in uniforms as a reality. But the acquiring of these uniforms included much work instead of only dreaming. It required the assistance of people who are not directly connected with the band. Saying thank you, friends, is certainly inadequate and we hope that our appreciation will be best expressed in the ability and entertainment provided by our band. Not only has this desire for a well dressed band resulted in brilliant red and white uniforms, but it also initiated the organization of our Band Mothers’ Club. They contributed their efforts and time in raising funds by sponsoring refreshment sales and luncheons. They have not considered this an end in itself, but they are going to continue their Club activities to maintain necessary funds for the upkeep of the uniforms. To the Band Mothers’ Club we say “Hats Off To Thee”! Best of luck and fun in the future! Our band has enjoyed this big improvement, but above all it has helped to improve its general music morale which has added much to the appreciation of the band. As they portray the story of the three bears, the snap of marching marines, the sweetness and catchy rhythm of other tunes, and the patriotic thrill of “The Star Spangled Banner”, we feel and hear an improvement in a young organization that demands our compliments. Behind all of this color in cloth and beauty in music is the patient, friendly, persistent, and forward directing of Mr. Mikelson, our director. We all wish him the best of happiness and success, and we only hope that our continued improvement will be as definite, vigorous, and enjoyable as his work with us has been.

By our songs we not only convey our feelings to the people of the present, but these songs will live on and on to tell the generations to come of a freedom of generations gone by. Our mixed choruses should be a means of spreading cheerfulness and good-will. Our bi-weekly practices mean more to us than a mere routine of singing. The third week in September found about I 20 students making their voices do sky rockets and nose-dives. We were practicing for those very important tryouts. Fifty students joined the Junior mixed chorus, and sixty students were accepted for the Senior chorus. After three months filled with many hours of long, hard, diligent practice, we made our debut at the Christmas Pageant, “O Holy Night,” on December 18, 1941. Under the capable direction of our new instructor, Miss Elaine Truwe, the Junior chorus sang “Tribute Bring” by Overby. The Senior chorus also directed by Miss Truwe sang three numbers by Christiansen — “Today There Is Ringing,” “Vigil,” and “Lullaby on Christmas Eve.” After the Christmas Holidays we spent our time preparing for the music contest and music festival. Our competition in the contest provided new acquaintanceships and the pleasure of singing with neighboring choral groups. This year, a better than average rating was a satisfying result and a good encouragement for a bigger and better chorus when the notes of tryouts w'ill again pierce the silence of our school.
