iisir Among the extra-curricular activities the Jefferson High School Band is the most prominent. It was started in 1923 under the direction of Mr. Kluck. At this time it consisted of thirty-nine members, who were very eager to build the organization up. Mr. Kluck taught the band for one year when Mr. Rodat, in 1924. took charge. He was the first who had the band enter a state band tournament at Lake Geneva in 1924. On February 1, 1926, Mr. Anhalt became the teacher, and we were extremely fortunate in retaining as able and persistent a leader. One and one-half days were set aside for Mr. Anhalt to come to Jefferson. Eight years later instead of the regular one and one-half days a week, two days were set aside. In 1937 it was arranged for Mr. Anhalt to come for two and one-half days a week. Mr. Lee, who in 1935 became the Business Manager, has endeavored to create some really splendid work. We owe the wonderful band rank formation to him. He has practiced with the group three times a week making definite progress, as you all must have observed if you attended any football games. Mr. Lee has also cultivated some wonderful techniques in the drumming section and many boys are proud to have them. Every year the band has attended some tournament and at this present date is planning to attend either the Lake Geneva or Madison tournaments in the middle of May. November 19th, the band played over W.I.B.U. and on Dec. 14th, held its usual semi-annual concert. Year after year this organization has grown, until at present sixty-two participate. We are always glad to have ncw-comers join, for they, and only they, will make up our future band. The orchestra originated in 1914. under the direction of Killiam Worrell, the manual arts instructor. Mr. Werrell was a lover of music and was very instrumental in organizing the orchestra which played mostly for pleasure as well as for special school programs. In 1920, Miss Richardson, who was interested, became their instructor. It has gradually increased in size and now has twentv-seven members. It furnishes the music for the class play and every fall and spring contributes its bit to the concerts. We hope they shall continue their good work. As early as 1926 the Junior Band developed. It has greatly increased in size. also, as you have probably noted. This is the body of young boys and girls that wc should be interested in. for they are our future musicians. Give all you have to music, little members, and you will never regret it. Orchestra SEPTEMBER 9. 1936 The first day of orchestra was given over to the electing of officers. Betty Jungkuntz was chosen president and Rosella Ganser. secretary-treasurer. Due to the carelessness of the members in forgetting their instruments, we were entertained the rest of the period by solos played by Mr. Anhalt. NOVEMBER 20. 1936 This evening the members of the junior class called upon the orchestra to furnish the music. They played from 8:00 to 8:15 then between each act and concluded with two very good numbers. People always enjoy the music furnished by the orchestra on such occasions. DECEMBER 4, 1936 One of the organizations which helped to make the fall concert a success was the orchestra. It opened the program with “The Patriot March.” Several other pieces were played, followed by a violin solo by Barbara Brayton and a trombone solo by Maynard Sell. An overture concluded the program. The audience showed their appreciation by the large encore given the orchestra, which truly they deserved. MARCH 8, 1937 Once again the Boy Scout Committee asked the orchestra to play several pieces for an introduction of their program, and in the middle to play a soft melody. The orchestra certainly comes in handy. I Adi; TWENTY-SIX

The audience was spell-bound, when six drummers paraded down the center aisle, beating out the introduction to Semper Fidelis. Throughout the entire piece they played their parts in a diamond formation in front of the band. After this, overtures. Carnival, and Panora, a march. Imperial and a selection from Korsakov were played. Still another amazing piece followed, called Jolly Coppersmith, during which a group of band members sang. The concert was concluded with the Star-Spangled Banner. Thus a very happy and appreciative audience stood gazing upon the splendor of the J.H.S. Band, as the last strains of the Star-Spangled Banner faded away. PACE TWET.NY SEVE.N
