Description |
Berne City Band - This photo shows a group of young men, all wearing white shirts and dark ties, except for the one young man seated in the front row on the left with a small drum in front of him. This is Leonard Whitehurst. He appears to be wearing a letter sweater, light colored with 4 dark stripes on his left sleeve and a letter "B" on the front. Another young man standing in the back row on the far right holding a tuba, Edgar Clauser, appears to be wearing the same sweater. A man standing in the back row on the far left, wearing a suit, glasses and holding a trombone, may be the band director. Lores Michaud, the boy siting in the front holding the clarinet, has been identified, as well as, Leo Gilliom who sits behind Lores' left shoulder. Leo was born in 1905 and Lores in 1906, and they appear to be about 13 years old, but they are actually 16. The big drum on the right has "BERNE" printed on it in big, white letters. Underneath, in dark letters hard to make out is, "City Band". This picture can be seen in the 1922 "Our Yesterdays" Berne High School yearbook. The boys are identified as Solo Cornet: Lester Lehman; First Cornet: Paul Lehman; Second Cornet: Leo Gilliom; Solo Clarinet: Lores Michaud; First Clarinet: Howard Lehman; Saxaphone: Walter Hilty; Mellophone: Herman Ellenberger; Trombone: Merlin Ellenberger; Baritone: Carl Luginbill; Tuba: Edgar Clauser; Bass Drum: Dale Eley; Snare Drum: Leonard Whitehurst; Director H.B. Hoffman (trombone). |
