The Mirandy column by Franklin Maas be- comes a definite feature of the column and a half width editorial page. Cries of anguish and even threats of lawsuits are often heard from the students subjected to Mirandyls sarcasm, but the column lives on.

Ever growing in popular- ity with the students as well as members of the faculty, the column tells everyone and anyone just what is expected.

BAND Marching to Glory ALANCEiwnnt size'is the chief concern of the college band this year. Under the direc- tion of Mr. V. C. Graham, Who replaces Mr. S. Meat, the musicians faithfully practice to attain this end. In order to display their musicianship, the band presents its annual concert for the student body on Thursday, January 25. Rex Mack renders a trombone solo, hLassus Trombonefi with band accompaniment; and Edna Scbunk plays a cor- net solo, iiPremietre Polka? The training school is entertained by a similar concert on VVednesday, February 7, at which time Marion Bellman displays her talent on an unusual instrumcntithe bassoon. A Sunday after- noon program is planned, at which time the entire public is accommodated. About eighty members constitute this fine group which rehearses 0n the auditorium stage every Wednesday at 1 oieloek. Miss Edith Bisbee, the only faculty member in the organization, is ever-faithful toithe practices. To improve the instrumentation 0f the band, new kettle-drums, sousaphones, and French horns are added to produce a fuller and more rounded effect. The students also cooperate by putting in extra hours to accomplish the task of perfecting new music. Harlin Helgesen, solo clarinetest, sometimes leads the band during rehearsals; mean- while, the librarian, Eleanore Daugherty, effici- ently keeps the music in order. PART from their indoor activities, the band A takes part in the athletic contests. Not to be outdone, the group matches to the depot to welcome the Milwaukeeans for the big game of the year. Always on the go, this musical group is asked to participate in the homecoming parade, the gathering at the bonfire, 21nd at the homecoming game. Drum major IVayne Hinkle, is assisted by Raymond IOming and Gemld Muir; Marjm'ie illatbiww competently twirls the baton. The marching band is the newest musical organization on the campus. 20
