u s c Of the musical organizations active on the campus, two are outstanding — the seventy- three piece concert and marching band, under the direction of Dwight G. Davis, and the A Capella Choir, composed of fifty-five voices, and led by Walter S. Mason. In his first year with the Demon band, Director Davis has made many obvious improvements. While playing for sporting events on and off the campus, the band flashed an organization resplendent in new uniforms, with their maneu- vers on the field and numbers from their seats adding color and enjoyment to the events at which they appeared. Ju st now closing out its concert season, the band has received many compliments, which might justly be turned in Director Davis ' direc- tion, regarding its improvement. The new lead- er has devoted his full energy toward developing a well-balanced, well-trained organization which seems destined to be regarded as among the best in the history of normal bands and one of the best to be heard at this time in this territory. With the activities of the Choir curtailed somewhat — in comparison to last year ' s organi- zation — it has remained for Director Mason, also new on the campus, to partially satisfy the de- mands of many persons with a season of short appearances and concerts. Given a bit more time to become accustomed to the new leader, the choristers should enjoy even more wide- spread fame as an A Capella Choir — already distinguished by being one of the first of this type in the state.
