unior Band HE junior Band has had a very successful year, with the boys showing up for rehearsals and co-operating in every way with Mr. Charles Stokes, their conductor and instructor. The turnout for this year's band was very encouraging. The junior band is made up entirely of boys who have had no training in ensemble playing. Most of the members have not played an instrument before this year. Mr. Stokes conducts regular classes for the boys who are interested in learning to play an instrument. He also gives further instructions in ensemble playing at the weekly rehearsals of the band. The progress of these beginners is so rapid that many of them will be able to fill the places in the senior band of the boys graduating this year. The band is now preparing for the concert which they are to give in the Junior Auditorium session May 14th in co-operation with the junior orchestra. The band will play the following numbers: Blue Bells Of Scotland, Stars Of Summer Night by Woodbury, Waltz by Roeder, Santa Lucia and Italian Boat Song, Sweet And Low by Banby, Theres Music In The Air by Root and When johnny Comes Marching Home by Lambert.

The Senior Band ARANTA rah! taranta rah! The musical blare of trumpets issuing from the solid ranks of Maroon and Cream drives the student body to its feet. Even in the midst of defeat, the cheers resound, for this is the one Vlfestern Hills organization which has never left the contested held without victory. Never is a summons rejected by the band. In the midst of a driving rain, the boys marched the full thirty-five hundred feet of the new Western Hills Viaduct. The golden shears that cut the ribbon opening the viaduct were pre- sented to the Vifestern Hills High School solely because of the efforts of the band. Every auditorium session is brightened by the presence of the band. Even the opening day of school finds the boys in their places in the orchestra pit, ready to begin. The athletic banquet finds the band in full uniform prepared to add to the festivities. As it is an established precedent for the Choral Club to produce a grand opera every year, let us hope that in the future it will also become a precedent for Western Hills to produce a hrst-class band. -DONALD L.
