JUNIGR BAND The Junior Band, made up entirely of beginners, has proved itself a worthy little brother organization to the Senior Band. Its members are now securing the training by which they will some day graduate into full band membership, truly rep' resenting O. T. H. S. on the platform and in the field. Several, by reason of their rapid development, have already made this change, and are playing with the Senior Band. In concerts, the junior Band has consistently given a good account of itself. On December 5, this organization appeared at the annual concert and was received with compliments. As an organization of present value, and particularly as a hope for the future, we are proud of this band. I g C K Page Thirty-nine
