James Hart was elected leader and
Walter Vroman as president, sccrc
tary and treasurer. This action
on the part of the boys is a good
idea, as the original band had

certainly able to support a good
band and ought to have one. The

be in excellent shape. It is hoped
that they will soon be in shape to
furnish the band concerts which is
such a pleasant feature during the
summer.
