was the anniversary Of the tin we'd
ding of Mr.. and Mrs. Anton Vandro-
vec so to celebrate the occasion the
three sisters and brother of Anton
made up party and dropped in at the
home as a surprise party-and is was
some surprise the wireless says. A
big dinner was served, then they took
a rest until their clothes fitted more
comfortably again then they had an
other big feed at supper time and
after that they thought they would
play a few games and then the lights
went out and the party had to dis
band and 'go home. Many presents
were given Mr.. and Mrs. Vandrovec
and the happy occasion will no doubt
be long remembered, but we guess the
next wedding anniversary that comes
along will find Anton with his lamps
trimmed and burning.

TOLD HISTORY OF
PERSHlNC'S BAND

Thursdays chapel period was taken
by Mr.. J. B. Meyer, Head of the De-
partment of Mathematics, in which
he outlined the story of the organl-
cation, of the Grand Headquarters
Band or more commonly known
among the A. E. F. as Pershing's
Band. To effect it's organization Cen
eral Pershing called Walter Dam
rosch. According to orders the per
sonnet of the band was made up Of
the best: artists and the best musical
Instruments to be found in all the
bands of the A. E. F.
Mr.. Meyer explained the qualities
necessary and desirable in drum
major and to this post was appointed
a Mr.. Ross. Lewis Fisher of Balti
more was the director of the band.
One month was spent in practicing
before these boys attempted to play
in public. A chief purpose Of this
band was to playNfor the installation
of officers which was to take place
every twenty-four hours. In spite of
the fact that they practiced one
month before playing in public, they
spent two and three hours every day
after their public appearance in dill
igent practice of the music for the
next appearance.
The type Of music which was play
ed on all occasions was of the highest
classical order. Even the more COM
mon selections were played with such
precision and Interpretation that the
rendition may be said to rank as clas-
sic production. The best band Of the
French Army at the disposal of Cen
eral Foch and General Pershing's
Band were then contrasted by Mr..
Meyer in his telling of a certain &C.
casion when the two had an oppor-
tunity to play. When asked why
Pershing's Band played some of the
same selections the French band
played, Mr.. Fisher replied, "To show
the difference" 1t is hardly need
less to say that the American band
excelled the French band.
. Mr.. Meyer concluded his talk with
the singing of a French song, the
"Drum Major. For his encore he
sang "a Negro Sermon"
