Shoot me if I'm wrong -- I took Basic Electricity & Electronics at NAS Memphis 47 years ago -- but the silver stripe indicates the Positive side of the Diode's polarity.

I have always looked at it like this: The point of the arrow on a diode is the direction where you want to power to go. The band stops it from coming back.
