The U. r. H. S. band, 80 strong, jour
neyed by motor to Two Rivers last
Thursday, where they were entered in
class B with 16 other state bands in
the tournament held in that city on
Friday and Saturday of last week. Two
Rivers was most hospitable to the Wis
itors gathered in their midst. Private
homes were opened free Of charge for
the entertainment of band members
and they were given all their meals
while there for the contest.
The Wilmot band was one of eleven
in class B, bands organized under two
years. They played four cohtesting
numbers, directed by Clarence Wright,
teacher. The Wilmot band made an
excellent showing and was credit to
our local school and director. The
members Of our band, on the whole,
were the youngest entered and they
had more girl members to their credit
than all the other bands in the contest.
Thursday evening our band played
with the massed bands in concert. At
least 600 of the players were on the
platform and the attraction of the
evening was easily little Donald
Schmalfeldt, our youngest and smallest
player. Two men lifted him on their
shoulders so the ten thousand people
massed about the stands could see him.
With his back to the director and the
other band members, he accompanied
them faultlessly through several selec-
tons on the cymbals. Don is third
grade pupil and 8 years of age. AS
rule, he playes the drum and there
were many compliments for him on
his ability in this regard
Friday morning our band was one of
the twelve entered in the marching
contest. The contesting bands were
kept reasonable distance apart and
each had its turn at playing. Friday
was devoted to class A bands, but in
the afternoon the Wilmot band gave
concert in the residential district for
the people who had so kindly opened
their homes TO the people from here
in attendance.
Wilmot's standing in the contests has
not as yet been learned, but will be
announced at later date.
Most of the band members from Will
mot went in a group of cars piloted by
Charles Curtis Of Trevor. They fol-
lowed route II out of Milwaukee and
aside from collision between car
driven by Bert Neal with the Stensel
machine, there was no further trouble.
A farmer north Of Milwaukee, however,
will long remember them as he made
1T very unpleasant for our people, OBJ
jecting to their lunching on the road
side near his alfalfa field. Some of
our farmer boys promised to forward
him the few whisps Of alfalfa that
were demolished and all was we'll.

lists in the party were: Mrs. Getting,
Mr.. and Mrs. H. McDougall, Mr.. and
Mrs. Clarence Wright, Irma Burritt,

cher, Mrs. W. Stensel, Fred Seminal
feldt, Elmer 10th, Principal and Mrs.
