Northwestern High School Band

The Northwestern High School Little Ranger Band was organized for the first time this year under the supervision of William F. Deusinger, College Band Director. It has developed into a creditable playing organization. Mr. B. F. Johnson, Superintendent of the Northwestern High School and Mrs. Maizie Shirey, Principal, have been enthusiastic supporters of the band and have been helpful in solving the many difficult problems attendant with the beginnings of such an organization.

With the cooperation of President Brown arrangements were made for purchase of necessary band instruments and music. A plan now is in successful operation, which makes it possible for high school and grade school students to rent instruments at a very nominal fee.

Much credit is due the band and its instructors, Messrs. LeRoy Austin, J. L. Reed, and Edward Leighton, college bandsmen, for the splendid progress by the band, achieved in the period of a few months. When originally organized over fifty per cent of the present membership numbering forty-two had never played a note on any instrument. The Northwestern Little Ranger Band made its premier appearance on Thursday Morning, March 25, (1937) in Herod Hall Auditorium. Northwestern High School students and faculty may well be proud of the accomplishments of its new band.

At a recent election of officers the following were chosen: President, Jimmie Kingston; Vice-president, Dorothy Scripsick; Secretary & Librarian, Estell Smith; Business Manager, Velma Keck.
