Benson Tech Band Revived and Prospect Promising. Musical Organisation Among Boys at Tradea .school Urana Interest Thla Term Debating and Dra matic faocletlea la Mart Work. BY RAYMOND HILL. THE girls of the February, '17, class entertained the, boy.-' of that cIkss at the girls" school Friday night. The reception was lit-ld In the gymna sium, which was decorated with maple leaves and ferns. Light refreshments were served, after which the students proceeded to dance. W. Oteinger and Mrs. G. Graham were chaperones of the evening. a a a Perhaps the thing mat Is causing the most comment In t)i school at present is the Benson Polytechnic Band, which organized last Tuesday. In March. 1914, someone conceived the Idea of start ing a musical organization In the school. C. S. Brereton, a well-known musician on Its faculty, gladly consented to take charge of the recruits. A meeting was held and when the roll was called It was found that the bnnd had 13 mem bers. No, as this was considered an unlucky number and also as a group of students who were "raw material," as the boys had never played an In strument, prospect were not bright. This was the depressing condition Mr. Brereton had to face. Band practice was held twice a week In th assembly hall and the sounds Issuing from It were not pleasing to the ear. but In a couple of weeks' time the boys were running the scales and variations !n perfect tune, and by June the boys were so lar advanced that ar. Brereton decided to let them march in the industrial parade of the Hose Fes tival, 1914. Here is the most remark able thing about the band. In the three months It had been organized the mem bers had so far advanced themselves that when they escorted the float In the parade they took first prize of their division. This caused a great amount ofH-omment. and much pi-ae was show ered on this musical organization. The following s-'eptetnber the band re organized with a membership of ".'K. Sys tematic practice was carried on, and In May, 1915. this organization gave a concert af tho Lincoln High auditorium, which was a great success. During this year It filled many important engage ments, playing at the laying of the cornerstone of the new Shattuck School, before the Portland Ad Club In the blue room at the Multnomah Hotel, and many other places of special Interest. When prepi rat ions were being made for the Rose Festival last June the band was much honored by being asked by tke officials in charge of the Festival to march in two of the parades. The Benson Tech Band, then known as the Trades Band, held the position of honor In the children's parade and also In the electric parade. During the graduation exercises of June, "15, the band played an important part, but after last term tnings looneo, pretty blue for the hand, as 11 of the members graduated with the June, '15. class. However, prospects began to boom with the beginning of last week, when Mr. Brereton agreed to take cht.rge of the band.
