Installation of the members was held at an assembly under the sponsorship of Mrs. Vivian Greene and Mr. E. R. Ward. The members are Mary Virginia With- ers, Robbie Hawkins, Rose Jane Frazer, Helen Hooe, Geneva Bruce, Kathrine Risinger, Mary Rose Eskind, Jean Ethridge, Isabel McDowell, Dorothy Howard, Bailey Anderson, Charles Franklin, Gene Bruce, Farris Stevens, and Delbert Gold.

Thomp- son, not only reorganized the advanced band but also organized a new begin- ners' band of sixty pieces. Hardly any of the new members had previously studied music but at the end of two months, the band presented an assembly program which showed that the beginners were progressing rapidly. Besides this program the band presented two concerts, one in Providence and one in Dixon, and played for two basketball games. The beginners' band took part in the district music contest in Madisonville, Kentucky. The advanced band carried on its usual activities in playing for football and for basketball games. This year the two bands acted as separate organizations. However, next year the beginners, band and the advanced band will be consolidated into one large band. 50
