CBand UNDER the leadership of Frank W. Asper, the band has had one of the best years in is entire history. Nine trumpets, ten Clarinets, one tenor saxaphone, two bass horns, two baritone horns, two drums, one cymbal, three trombones, one bass clarinet, one flute, eight alto horns, one oboe, and one piccolo, made up the personnel. While they have had but one period a day in which to practice, the members have memo- rized many exceptional pieces and much excellent talent has been developed. On Founders' Day the band headed the parade, assisted by the one from Pleasant Grove High School. The smart uniform, consisting of a blue and gold cap on which the letters UL. D. S. were sewed, a dark blue sweater with the same letters in gold across the front, and white duck pants, gave the group a colorful and distinctive showing as they marched down Main Street With the gold and blue balloons tied to their instruments. Although the band did not play for the state basketball tournament, it played in all of the city tty-outs; and it was largely due to the peppy music on its part that the Saint hoopsters came through as the division runners-up for a place in the state tourney. It also furnished the music for nearly all the football games in Which L. D. S. played against the other city high schools. Since the school owns a number of exceptional instruments, many boys have been given the opportunity of playing them. A great deal of credit must be given Mr. Asper for the untiring effort be put forth in turnIng out one of the best bands ever to represent the Saint institution. 431 109 lew-

The Ore hestra HE L. D. S. has need to be proud of such an organization as its orchestra, which has been very prominent this year in school activities and won a high place on its own merit. Among other things it has played for numer- ous devotionals and assemblies. Its personnel is made up of twelve violins, two Violas, three cellos, two basses, one piano, one flute, one oboe, three Clarinets, one bassoon, three trumpets, one trombone, two altos, and one tympani, making up a complete instrumentation. This year we had a new innovation Which proved to be a great triumph for the orchestra when they were invited to broadcast over KSL and gave an excel- lent program. It started out With the entire orchestra playing HBallet Music from URosamunde by Shubert, and Mozartis iiSerenade. This was followed by two numbers, 'iAria by Auber, and HMinuet by Hayden, from the string quartet, which was made up of June Glade and Amelia Stevenson, Violins, David Brinton, viola, and John Fetzer, cello. The entire orchestra then played Brahm's UHun- garian Dance No. 5W Raymond Allred, Henry Engh, Arthur Ridd, and Gerald Ericksen, Who made up the brass quartet, gave Mozartis HSpring Song and Nien- delssohnis UEvening. HSpanish Dance', by Moskowski was given as finale by the entire ensemble. One of their finest bits of artistic achievement was the playing for the school opera, Vlctor Herbertis iiPrincess Pat at the West High when they covered them- selves with new laurels for their splendid work. Too much praise cannot be given Mr. Frank W. Aspen who, as leader, was an inspiration to his students. The school should feel very happy to have secured his services in keeping and ever building higher the musical standard which has been maintained by this school.

MARGARET CALDWELL School Play l RIDAY, the thirteenth of December, proved to be a lucky day for those L. D. S. stu- dents who were wise enough to attend the annual school play, HNew Brooms, which was presented at the Hippodrome Theater. How could it have been otherwise, having been directed by Margaret Caldwell and managed by N. D. Thatcher? The plot was developed around the manu- facture of brooms. Arthur Visick played the part of Thomas Bates, the manufacturer, well known for his disagreeable temper. His son, Thomas Bates, Jr., played by Larry James, made a wager with him that he could take all the responsibilities of his father for an entire year without losing the courtesy, tact, and cheerfulneSS that he thinks his father should possess. At the end of the year he admitted defeat and willingly turned over the business to his father, thoroughly convinced that the latterls disagreeable temper was justifiable. The play was refreshing and entertaining from start to finish. To all the members of the cast, to Margaret Caldwell, and to others who helped with this line presentation, we owe our sincere gratitude. Garff James Fotheringham Dibble Lindsay Woody ml 110 Bew-
