HARMQNICA BAND 1. Lavone Staehli, Dolores Gaddis, Evelyn Ruth Storm, Mae Kull, Fern Reel. It happened on a cloudy day in January. I remember it very distinctly, because it was very cold and there was snow on the ground. At the end of Latin class, Mr. Jackson, our music teacher called five Sophomore girls into the office and announced that he wanted to start a harmonica band. The first song that we played was Home Sweet Home. We progressed rapidly and made our first appearance April 7 at a joint program with the school orchestra and dramatic club. We play popular, old time, and cowboy tunes. We played The Music Goes 'Round and 'Round on the Major Bowes Amateur Hour program at the Parent Teacher's Program and didn't get the ug.0ug,.u Harmonica Band P1120 13 THE REMINISCENCEIV' rr, iw,-1' in li' I t ,ill 'il 1. ii N ,fsq N3 W li M yi, H ii r H slf AWN 18' ll ill . 1 Y1-1' i FS: M, l ll Q08
