HOY.Eh HIGH SCHOOL BAUD The High School Band was organized in nineteen hundred thlrtysix, with twenty eight members, under the direction of Mr. Conway Peters, director of the Albion College Band and Orchestra, and Miss Joan Weimer. The Band meets every Tuesday and Thursday, with Mr. Peters coming here every Tuesday. The band has improved in several different ways over last year: not only in the tone and sound, but also in the increase of membership. At the beginning of the year the members were given emblems by the American Legion. These are worn on the left sleeve of their orange sweaters. The uniform consists of white sleeks, orange sweaters, and white, and orange bend caps. The Band has made several appearances, including the football and basketball games, the Parents Instutite and the Annual Concert, which was given on the fourteenth of April. The proceeds of this concert are to be used for more equipment for the band. Since we are losing several members by graduation, the other members are now starting a campaign to bring mere members into the band next year. The membership goad has been set at fifty.
