WEST SALEM BAND The West Salem Band of 1945-46 was under the capable leadership of Mrs. Lena Brown Harpst until March 4 and of Mr. Ralph 0. Jibben the rest of the year. They were faithful in playing for the basketball games during the season. The school songs that they gave added much pep and zest to the games. The band also took part in the musical program given by the Grade and High School at the gymnasium at the end of the first semester. The climax of the band year was the Spring Concert, given for the public at the gymnasium.
