In the above picture band director William D. Revelli, assistant director Harold Ferguson and staff, map out a robin formation which may represent the month of May.

OFF FOR CHICAGO: Michigan's "Fighting Hundred" bandsmen apparently were in good spirits yesterday afternoon as they boarded a Michigan Central train for Chicago to attend the Michigan-Chicago game today.

This trio of baton swingers is planning to do some sprightly stepping for Michigan's "fighting hundred" band at football games this year. The little fellow in the middle is Jack Sherrill, York, Pa., University senior who is six feet, seven inches tall. He is Michigan's drum major of the year. Sherrill is flanked by C. Gane Sherry, on the left, a junior student from Hammond, Ind., and by Raymond H. Opland, a sophomore from Pontiac. Sherry and Opland will be the band's twirlers.
