Stillwater High School Band

The 1939 Stillwater Pioneer yearbook OCR describes a 91-member band under Glen M. Varnum, with woodwind, brass and percussion sections, 27 first-semester uniformed appearances, a KTUL broadcast and contest activity. The exact printed page and several individual event dates still require recovery.

What remains uncertain

Earlier school-band organization and later continuity unresolved

High for identity, Stillwater school affiliation, conductor, 91-member size, wind/brass/percussion instrumentation and multiple activities from the primary 1939 yearbook OCR; medium for exact printed page and event dates because page indexing is not exposed in the full-volume OCR.
