Le Conte Band The Le Conte Band is an organization of about thirty members under the able supervision of joseph Jean Gilbert. The band has represented Le Conte on several occasions this spring. The music rendered at the General Hospital and at the Vine Street School was most enthusiastically received. If you have the blues and need to be cheered up, just listen to our band for a few minutes some day when it marches up the street to the strains of a lively march, and all your cares will disappear. The instruction received by the members of our Le Conte band is so thor- ough that many of them are asked to join the Hollywood High School band when they enter senior high school. This is an honor worth striving for, as the Hollywood band is one of the school's most popular organizations.
