Thursday night will always hold a special place in the memories of at least thirty Kanty students. As for the rest, they will probably remember the not always dulcet melo- dies of band practice penetrating their study periods, It might not be apparent at first, but the members of the band work just as hard as any athletic team in pre- paring their program. The experienced guidance of the conductor, Professor Ignatius Chojnacki, counts not a little, either. For most of the members, he is the first music instruc- tor they have ever had. It's not very easy to take a group of boys with nothing but ambition and train them to put on a good show in a few months' time, but the professor has never failed yet. At every social, the band has always made up an important part of the program. By the time one of the most important events of the year for the band rolls around, the Memorial Day Parade, there is hardly an amateur among them, Dressed in their red and white uniforms, and marching up State Street, they arouse the admiration of all who hear and see them. By some critics they have even been called one of the best high school bands in Erie, equaling the performances of bands twice and three times their size. Beyond a doubt, they have earned their place in this book. . 1- l
