Our piano | player, Charles Lord, is the only charter member of the group. “Young Man with a Horn” Stan- ley Aymong is our trumpet player, and the newest member of the group. Stephen Trevor, who ‘blows |a fine horn,” plays first alto saxo- phone. Our “tenor man,” yours truly Jay West, holds down the har- mony parts as second tenor sax. Our “beat” comes from ‘‘BeBop” | Bill Neblett, who plays string bass ‘and the clavos and marracas for our Latin numbers, and our hep drummer, Walter Walftrson, who at times can be persuaded to “go |mad” on a drum solo Very few musicians who have | played in this group have failed to Garden Club Officers Installed Edward Bayly, secretary; Mrs. J.
