f N ONTARIO HIGH SCHOOL BAND By Fern Brundige With the passing of another year we find the Ontario High School Band still going strong. Younger students have taken the plaee of those who have left either by graduation or other eauses and we find the regulars out. for praetiee and ready for ealls to play. The sehool band has developed into one of the most ac-tive, best known, and admired activities of the sehool. The band has provided pep and enthusiasm at basketball games several times this winter and when there is any marehing to be done, to be without the band would be like a ship without a sail. Speeial oeeasions when the ba.nd has given a good aeeount of itself have been at the Ontario l'llI'0TTl01l 's Field Days, August 21. 23, 1931, and the Cherry Blossom Festival held at Sodus Fruit Farm May 21, 1932. 'We have heard that Music hath eharms To sooth the troubled mindi' and we know' that the Ontario Band has eontributed liberally for entertainment and pleasure in Ontario.
