jjnAtnurnmtaiJ Depantment «TOURING the first half of this school year, the instrumental division of the music department was under the direction of David Dahl. However, he was called early in January to train for one year with the National Guards at Camp Haan, Cali- fornia. Mr. Dahl has been director of the band and orchestra for eleven years. He has at- tended the Universities of Chicago and Minnesota, and River Falls State Teachers College. Before he began his work at Hud- son, he was director of several bands at schools in St. Paul, Minnesota. After Mr. Dahl had left. Marvin Nel- son was selected to fill his position. He had formerly been employed in the Arcadia High School music department. He was born in Milwaukee, Wiscon- sin, and began his education at the 18th street grade school. He graduated from the West Division High School and went on, taking a music course in the Milwaukee State Teachers Co lege. Mr. Nelson’s first position was in Trempealeau, Wisconsin, where he taught for two years before receiving an offer for advancement from the Arcadia high school. He was instructor there for two and one- half years. During his y ars of teaching Mr. Nel- son has been director of such organizations as band, orchestra, mixed chorus, and girls' glee club. He also has taught grade school music. In his private life he enjoys as a par- ticipant the sports of swimming and tennis, while basketball and boxing afford him pleasure as spectator sports. His favorite food is ice cream, and he has shown a spe- cial liking for the cello and baritone, as fa- vorite instruments.
