The Band was rated superior in the State Band Contest held at Eugene, and attended the major Football and Basketball games of the year adding materially to the spirit of the rooting section by combining their numbers with the yells and songs. The Orchestra furnished music for the Student Body play, Junior and Senior plays, and Baccalaureate, They also held many concerts during music week which were well attended.
