l if l A rd AJ fofv-4 J., I ,v,p1.1,,f .ca lk .NV Band X W., f X. Tkjfkj sql 1918. ie!William Penn College Band of 1939- has probably been the most outstanding in the history of the school. Under the direction of Murray Baylor ably assisted by Orley Anderson, a Marching Band was organized composed of twenty- four students. They gave a most remarkable performance at the Central-Penn football game when they exhibited their formations at the half to the large crowd of Homecomers. lt was not at all surprising that they won the Hrst prize in the Homecoming parade, but those practices on a dusty lawn sometimes in exceedingly chilly weather more than merited this recognition.

The regular band played for several basketball games and accompanied commun- ity singing. ln February they gave a most entertaining chapel program including, in addition to group selections, one number with Ben Shepherd as solo singer. The German Band has been very popular this year at pep meetings and basketball games away from Oskaloosa where the regular band was unable to go. Much credit is due the freshmen for the talent they have furnished, and it is to be hoped that next years class will assist in building up an even more remarkable band. The three drum majors, Dolores Shauger, Beverly Briggs and Orley Anderson, are all freshmen.
