I Le Conte Bands VVe are very proud of our junior and Senior Bands which are under the inspiring direction of Joseph Jean Gilbert. VVe sometimes enter the Audi- torium to the strains of a spirited march played by our bands, and when they play the exit march we are always loath to leave. The combined bands played for the Teachers' Institute and our teachers reported that they were very proud of our musicians and lVIr. Gilbert. The bands, when in full dress, are costumed in white except for blue and gold ties and blue and gold bands across their caps. When we see them marching in full regalia we think they are the best band in the city. The members of the Senior Band include the following: clarinets, James McNIillan, Warren Carroll, Clifford Hutchison, Floyd Christensen, cornets, Wells Ruby, Fred Comstock, Lee Morris, Vaughan Denny, Leslie Hoagland, Robert Vande Griftg saxophones, Donald Webster, Fred Jackman, Frank Mc- Donald, George Buntong trombones, Philip Tilden, Cash Shockeyg tubas, Bartley Hunt, Donald Beckwith, drums, David Stevenson, William Condon, Bobby Gordong drum major, Harry lllohr. These are the members of the junior Band: cornets, Almeron Carroll, Paul Biesemeyer, Alex Tarbetg altos, Garner Hamm, Alfred Riddleg baritone, Carl Alsop, saxophones, Bob Cavinee, Richard Dickermang drum, Willard Munson. i 74 l

junior Orchestra The Junior Orchestra is another group of very promising musicians, which is also under the leadership of Joseph Jean Gilbert. Because of the very large number of musicians in our school, it has been necessary to organize the junior Orchestra in addition to the Senior Orchestra. The junior Orchestra is composed of the younger musicians of Le Conte who receive the preliminary training necessary to obtain a place in the Senior Orchestra. They have rend- ered very pleasing selections at several programs in the Auditorium during the semester, and we predict that many of them will join the senior group next year. The personnel of the Junior Orchestra is as follows: first violin, Gordon Prinz, Brook McFaul, Tuella Fuestino, June Harrison, Saretta Fraut, Lila Mae Jeffries, Elaine Coulter, Austin Menzies, Mieren Oswell, Robert Cur- rang second violin, Gertrude Rendell, Florence Dunn, Edith lVIcConnell, Max Schlackter, Milton Zaradneck, Alvine Singerman, Grant McNeil, Jane Chaseg Hutes, Nlarshall Lewis, Helen Coulterg clarinets, Warren Carroll, Bob Brun- dageg saxaphone, Bob Cavinee, piano, Margaret Kirchhoffer, Evelyn Morrillg drums, Roger Parishg string bass, Merle Nevitt. Those who belong to this orchestra consider it a great privilege to receive such valuable instruction as well as the benefit derived from public appearances. l73l
