1- BLUE EM . BIRD-. -5 M H. H. S. Band The H. H. S. band, during the last year, has been making remarkable progress. Under the leadership of Prof. Willer the band has worked very nard, until now it is spoken of by the many other towns. Prof. Willer has Dy his untiring efforts been able to put the band on a basis where it can compete with other bands in this vicinity. The band boys have been show- ing their appreciation by coming to band practice and being ready to play wnen they are called upon. Many of the boys are taking individual lcssons. On practice nights Prof. Willer takes the separate divisions and goes tnrough a piece with them. In this way the boys learn more of the rythm and time of the piece. He also points out the different signs. The band this year played at all of the football games here at home, and played at two games away from home. All the band boys have a uniform, and this helps the appearance. The band intends to give several concerts this year. The public will tnen have a chance to see the progress the boys are making. Prof. Willer is to be congratulated on the way he has Worked with the band so that it is capable of playing before the public. - PERSONNEL PICCALO- TRUMPETS- K Clarence Heusi Ernest Prellitt Max SIUSIICI' Albert Meinershag-en Q69 J0nf?S Edward Linebach Earl Meutelfshagen Junior Limerick iilfen Phllhps Townsend Hader 1 y Oney Phillip Simpson Edward Johnson William Thieman Croft Bruening Keith Collins Oliver Schindler SAXOPHONE- John Truesdale George K.
