Mary Jam- Low is not on picture. Oakes City Schools organized the first band in the history of the school during 'the school year l93944O. ln this first band 42 students signed up to play. It was a well balanced group and, before the end of the year had played for convocations, Junior play, basketball games, and the Dickey-Lalvloure Association Band Festival. This festival was sponsored by the local band, and a group of some l4O musicians from l.aMoure, Edgeley, Ellendale and Oakes participated. The festival was directed by Professor J. A. Holvik of Concordia College, Moorhead, Minn. During the present year, although the group was hard hit by graduation, it has grown into a more competent group, having gained in size and experience. There are now 46 musicians in the group, and the type of music is much in advance of that used a year ago. Concentration on pep tunes, popular songs, and novelty tunes has been the main thing on reheasals for the year, as the group plans to appear at all basketball games again with a completely new program from that used in the previous year. Mr. David M. Washburn, band leader, is the organizer and director of the group. He has been with it from the start and has done an excellent job with many beginners, giving freely of his time after school hours for private lessons free of charge to these boys and girls who otherwise would be denied this fine training. Mr. Washburn has also directed the Oakes City Band during the past year. E291
