Description

The UVM ROTC Band in front of the Waterman building, with director Dr. Joseph Lechnyr (d. 1959) in the front row, center. Because of World War II, presumably, women were needed to fill positions in the band left vacant by male musicians. The band became known from then on as the "Co-ed Band." A similar photo was published in the 1945 Ariel, the UVM student yearbook, on p. 83. Photo #2.
