tliai Friday niirht'*. Our Hani is off
tn i« start and personally, I
think we're Koin^ places this year.
I wish to take this opportunity >
thank th«- Hand Mothers and l\ T. A.
in behalf of Mr. Hart, the band, and
thi- entire school for their coopera-
tion in helping up build up a good
band. They have bouirht us five new
instruments this year which wert
very badly needed— two French
Horns, an Oboe, a Baritone, and a
Sou*aphont'. Without the P. T. A.
an! Hand Mothers, we would hardly
have ;> Band worth mentioning.
.Monday, the lKth, we elected ou
officers for the Band and Bun'"
Corps. I,oyce Eskew wag chosen pre-
sident; Virginia Dodson, vice-presi.
dent: At.n Morris, secretary; Elsie
Pf terson, treasurer; and yours truly
is of rours< the reporter. The lib-
rarian will lie chosen later from
those who piny school-owned inst ru-
in t nt< and wish to pay their rent on
them iiy serving as librarian.
