Dear Diary: What an exciting football game this afternoon. The main attraction at the game was our band. During the half they came marching down the football field with their white, orange, and black uniforms. Their instruments, glistened brightly in the sun. They all marched down in perfect rhythmic order. Leading our band was John Gaughran. who came strutting down the field twirling his baton. He seems to be an expert at it. As they came in front of the Westville grandstand, they formed the W, and we sang as they played our Loyalty Song. We are very proud of our band. It has been increased this year. Our band has played at all the football and basketball games. It has also competed in an invitational contest at Hoopeston. Our band is formed into three parts. We have the first, second and third bands. The second band and third band were formed to give the members the spirit of cooperation and they prepare for the first band. From the result of the second band, we expect to have a larger band next year. Mr. Matthes, the instructor of the Westville Band, came here two years ago to take over the task of directing our band. Under his supervision Mr. Matthes plans to have a bigger band next year. He expects to have at least 48 members. He has done a good job in this year’s band. Under his guidance they have formed a drum rolling march. Mr. Matthes spends a great deal of time after school with our band and they have shown remarkable progress. Page Twenty six
