Under the able direction of Mr. iolayne Ellsworth the band is one of the moet important features of M. u. o. From various campaigns it has raised enough money to complete the uniforms with gray slacks, which formerly consisted of red jacket~ ~nd caps. During the second semester they attended the festival at Canistota and on April 14, they attended the music contest in Madison. Congratulations to Mr. Ellsworth for his fine superY1s1on and to the members for their splendid cooperation.

The 1949 football season opened with five letter men returning. Four of these were seniors Bob Wheeler, Pat Tennyson, Leonard Severtson, and Lorry Bell. Not h~ng sufficient experience Montrose was not ~y success ful and they came up with only one fair marker which was a tie with the Freeman Flyers. Prospects for the 1950 season are very hopeful with seven letter men returning Jerry Bies, Irl Oaks, Bill Kruse, Gene Garry, Dan Wheeler, Joe Cleveland, and Kenny Odell. The basketball season began in Mid-November with twenty four boys re porting for practise. Returning lettermen were Lorry Bell, Dick Raabe, Leonard Severtson, Bob Odell, and Bob Wheeler. We drew Spencer in the dis trict tournament and after a hard fought game tre Irish went down 35 to 32. The teams were coached by John Rathbun.
