THE COLLEGE BAND The hand, in recent years, has expanded and im- proved its musical selections. Name a function and you will find the hand participating: from the jam sessions at the dorms to Anchors Aweigh from the superstructure deck of the Empire State as she slips her moorings for places over there. Morning and Admiraiis Inspec- tions, ibasicetiinaii games, concerts, and infantry Drill would not ine compiete without it. Also it is the first Schuyler organization to entertain at the Veteran Hospitals. Une of the highlights of the year is the annual hand concert given every spring. Thanks to Mr. Hoverter, hand advisorg Band- master P. Lucci, lfc, Ass't Bandmaster R. Downs, lfc, P. G. D. Kenyon, lfc and the inoys behind the noise,the hand grows iaetter as time passes.
