SCHOOL BANDS STARTIN THIS MORNING | The sounds may have been slightly discordant, but to the ears of A. B. Phillips, superintendent of schools, and others of the Ju- neau school, no sweeter music could have been heard this morning. The tootings and thumpings were | the inharmoffious tunings up of the beginners’ band of the Juneau | schools. And at noon today, more {tootings and blowings marked the tuning up of the Juneau High School band. The reason this music was so sweet to the ears of Mr, Phillips, if not to others in the immediate vicinity, was the fact that for some time, it was highly doubtful whe- ther or not there would be any bands for Juneau schools this year, because no teacher seemed avail- | able. Just before the opening date, | however, Arthur Uggen, experienced | Juneau bandmaster and musician, | signed up with the schools to take over the position for this year.
