X Q We are not accustomed to the language of eulogy but we say that if all that has ever been said by poets and orators in praise of philanthropy be applied to Mr. Paul H. Andree it would not do him justice. He is a spendthrift in energy and devotedness in his instruction to this beginners band. Only six months ago the WBeginners Bandn, as it was then called, contained only 15 members! After three months, immedi ately following, there was a slight increase in the enrollment of the band. Through Mr. Andree's untiring efforts he raised the enrollment to 23 members and by passing the test they were promoted to the advanced band. The first performance was a beginners band concertg then in the R E N League and district music festivals with the advanced band. :ata
