Simpkins. Seven of our present members started with the first few. We struggled along that year and were able to play a few easy pieces. In the school year of 1925-1926 we accomplished a great deal more. More members came in and with much hard work we won the first prize in the Class B bands of the county under the leadership of Mr. Lawrence E. Rice. The next year we joined the Class A bands and won third prize. We received our first uniforms during this year. By this time we had about 20 members and were playing a better class of music. D The following year we won another first prize by winning the Labor Day Band Contest held in Warren. During this year we gave a number of concerts and with the help of the people in the community were able to purchase new uniforms, which were a splendid better- ment to our band. We now have only 24 members but there are a number of beginners working hard to join us. We are now playing many selections written by Victor Herbert, F rimc, Strauss, and many other noted composers. There are many members of our band who have shown great musical talent which would probably not have been discovered had not Trumbull County made such a great effort to forward the band and orchestra movement among the pupils of the schools. During 1925, 1926, and 1927 the County organized district bands and in 1926 and 1927 an All County Band was organized under the leadership of Mr. Frank A. Simpkins. Twelve of our members received district diplomas and fifteen received All County Band diplomas.

Captain Warren lead the team in points scored with 276 while Ruth Bradley, her running mate, was second with 225 points. Giddings, Ennis, Young. and Peterson divided the remaining points between them. A big share of the team's success was due to the stone wall, defense put up by McElroy, Mack, Ennis, and Smida. These guards not only prevented their opponents from scoring bur also developed a clever passing attack. BASKETBALL RECORD FOR 1928-1929 Date Opp. VVhere Opp. B.
