Band Benefit Program Sidelined by Weather and Mud
A large town crowd gathered at the school gym for the Inter-Club Council Band Benefit but the wind weather and muddy roads prevented Director Wilbur Brand from arriving with the music. The band could not perform fully and several numbers were canceled while others continued for an hour of music. The ensemble includes the Moravia Nite Hawks and various soloists and a booster talk by J. B. Sneed. The band plans a free rescheduled program soon.
