H . Band In 1920, Mr. Walter Lehman, director of music at M. H. S., organized a band consisting of nine members. When our present leader came four years later, there were twenty-four pieces in the band. Each year since then has brought an increased membership, until today it has a total of fifty-five. Surely this healthy growth in numbers is something to be proud of. Then too, many individuals who got their start in the M. H. S. band have gone out and made good in other bands. It would be too much here to enumerate them. This year's band, besides being the largest, is the best band M. H. S. has ever had. The many, who go out at graduation, will always remember the good times had while playing at the football and basketball games, and the thrill that came when Mr. Copp and the band were asked to meet the Dean Of Bandmasters, John Philip Sousa, at the depot and to be conducted by him in his great march, The Stars and Stripes Forever. As the band escorted him to the hotel on March 14, 1930, it played the marches of the famous bandmaster. This was a most fitting climax to a most successful year.
