BAND NE of the pioneer organizations of South Side is the band. Starting out in 1922 with but six members, it appeared a forlorn hope, but with the preserverence of its mem' bers and its leader, Mr. Schafer, it has progressed to be one of the best high school bands in the state. XVithout uniforms, the little group played at all the football games the first year and was the base of much mirth, but the players endured it the best they could, little dreaming what a great success it would develop into. The second year its membership was increased to twelve and it was supplied with green and white sweatshirts by the athletic department. These, worn with white trousers, composed the uniforms the second year. At this time the student body started to realize that a band was in existence and the organization was inf creased to thirtyffive members. The school board allotted live hundred dollars for the purchase of instruments for the band. This aroused more interest and many new members were seen this year. The band plays at many of the pep meetings and at nearly all of the athletic events, including the tournaments. Aside from this, however, the band has proved its worth in outside activities. The ParentfTeacher Club included its selecf tions in numerous meetings during the year. During the latter part of May the Kiwanis Club I g asked the band to furnish the music at one of their noon-day luncheons. The success of the Pageant, given May 27, 23 and 29, was due partly to the good band music. F WS The band is regulated very well.
