Band Benefit
.Pr0Ues Success

The high school band benefit, given
at the Al Ringing theater last
evening, was most successful and
drew a large and appreciative aud
fence. Through the efforts of the
students and teachers, practically
every seat in the house was filled
and an exceptionally entertaining
program was given.
The program was divided into two
parts, the first being by the Smith
Spring Holmes orchestral quintet.
Several members of this company
are well-known in Baraboo, having
appeared here previously, and G.. Z.
Holmes was, and says he still is,
Baraboo boy. The quintet consists
of Messrs Holmes and Smith, The
Misses Coyla and Lotus Spring, and
Miss Pomeroy. All are talented
musicians and the numbers given by
the ensemble were exceptionally
beautiful. In addition, there were
solos on the different instruments
and several readings by Miss Coyla
Spring, which were most delightful.
In introducing the band, Superin-
tendent Kingsford spoke in an appre-
ciative manner of the work of f. r.
Morey in taking up this service and
of the benefit derived from, and the
necessity of, a High school band. Al
though but six months old, this organ
iZation has made remarkable pro-
gress under the leadership of Mr..
Morey and the five numbers given
elected hearty applause from the
audience. Thirty-five names appear
OF the roster and the majority of the
boys were unable to play any instru-
ment at the time the band was or
ganized. While the numbers were on
the most part simple, they were rem
dered with an enthusiasm and finish
quite remarkable.
The proceeds from the concert will
help to meet the indebtedness for
instruments and music, incurred dur
ing the year.
