The annual banquet and bust
ness meeting of the Sank Centre
Community Club was held in the
Club rooms Thursday evening, Jan.
26, beginning promptly at $50
o'clock.
The Sank Centre Boys Band,
under the able dictatorship of DR..
P. w. Hanson, were guests of
honor at the banquet. Preceding
the feed they assembled with their
instruments and rendered several
enjoyable and rather difficult Sc
lections, considering, the COMPARE
lively short time they have been
organized.
Six months ago the boys were
collected together for the first
time; raw material as far as music
was concerned, and under the I'M
firing efforts of Mr.. Hanson, have
progressed very rapidly. In their
short informal concert Thursday
evening they rendered beautiful
selections, which would be credit
to many an adult band.
When the call for dinner was
sounded the men were requested
by President w. M. Parker to
take each Band Boy under his
wing to be his guest at the table.
This was done to scatter the boys
among the business men. A boun-
tiful and delicious dinner was serv-
ed by the ladies of the Episcopal
church.
Subsequent to the dinner VIM.
Parker, president of the Commun-
ity, Club, welcomed the gathering
and commented on the large at
tendance and success of the occas-
ion thus far. At the close Mr..
Parker introduced as the first
speaker DIR. P. w. Hanson, director
of the band. Mr.. Hanson gave a
short comprehensive talk on the
significance of music to the boys.
He expressed his nearly thanks to
the citizens of Sank Centre and to
the Community Club for their
ready cooperation in the interest of
the band. Music, he said, is
great asset to the lads of today,
and the youths, who take up music
instead of becoming derelicts on
the sea of life become ornaments
to society. .,.-
H. "A. Falk, chairman of the
Boys Band Committee, was called
upon to give a brief regime of
band activities since the inception
of the organization. His report be-
gan with the initial move, toward
organization, which was the secur-
ing of a permit from the City Coun-
Gil to form. a Boys Band. With
no opposition met at any notice
able angle the movement was
launched and underway, and at
the present time we have a band
comprising upward of 46 men,
bers, which is capable of making
public appearances in their own
city at least and within the next
few months, considering progress
made in the past. will be one of
the best Boys Bands in the State
of Minnesota. Mr.. Falk also took
the opportunity to thank the Black
Cat organization for their initiative
and effort in starting and carry

ing funds to buy uniforms for
the boys.
At this time mr.. Parker laid
very important matter before the
club for deliberation to be acted
upon in the business session to
follow. 1t was the question of a
band stand. The old band stand in
the park has deteriorated and is
beyond repair. It needs new
flooring, new paint and must be
screened. A suggestion was pre-
sented to Mr.. Parker recently, he
said, by citizen, who had very
distinct plan in mind In which the

the Main street bridge could be
