Uxxivzusiry or PITTSBURGH The Music Department The music department of Somerset High School has continued to grow until it is now a most interesting and diversified one. Perhaps the most outstanding organization under this department is the band. Two years ago the members worked hard to earn the uniforms which they now proudly wear. By practicing faithfully an hour every morning before school they have obtained regular high school credit, and, more important, have im- proved remarkably. In 1930 the band participated in the state-Wide con- test with class B bands and was awarded first place. -msg 18
