BA D GIVES WINTER The band members and conductor Mr. Elder Memorial Day services This year the band was always busy. The year started out by going to Northwestern to march. Then the band sold fruit- cakes, had a Winter and Spring concert, played at all home basketball games and went to contest. As a reward the band was allowed to take a trip to tour a factory. This year was one of the most successful years the band has ever had. The band has been lead by our director, Mr. Elder.
