Qlihe 38511111 'l'he band has had a big year, for not only is it the best musical organization ever in the school, but also, for one reason or another, it has had 1110l'C opportunities to show itself to the public and earn the appro- bation it deserves than have fallen to bands of former years, XfVith its interlocking organizations, the orchestra and the jazz band, it has been in-demand through the year and now, as rllllli SIIRAPNEL goes to press, all three are as busy as bees when a small boy-has stirred up their nest. The orchestra made its tirst hit at the Red Cross Bazaar, when it accompanied the performers in the Cabaret which was such a success. and its work for the dancing class was more than satisfactory. The band has appeared in parades in'Newburgh, Chester, Cornwall, and XVashing- tonville. The jazz band, under the direction of its leader, Gage, has played for the Red Cross Dances in Chester, Middletown and Cornwall. The bandmen had a great time in Chester where they were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence, parents of Hill Lawrence, captain of the 1916 band, and now in the service. If one judges by the amount of mail coming through the post office and postmarked Chester some, at least. of the talented musicians must have made a hit with the Chester girls,-1 or perhaps it was the other way around.
