Vioti l Ittlv Both the Arion and the Allegro clubs follow the same program of study. At the end of each six weeks period contests are held in each club to determine the best soprano. alto. tenor and baritone. Competition between advanced and begin- ning students is especially keen and arouses the interests of the individual student. Last year suggestions were given for furthering the interests of class study. Among those accepted was the idea of having all seniors sing a solo that he or she had prepared during the course of the school year. These solos were taken from operas and other classical selections. The boys' quartette. consisting of John Booheri first tenor: Rudolpho Aros. sec- ond tenorg Henry Hubbard. first baritoneg and Frank Freeman. second baritone. displayed unusually fine work this year when they appeared for many different civic organizations and private clubs. The two quartettes. girls' and boys'. when joined together form a double mixed quartette. which also has proved very popular. The Sigma Alpha Iota. musical sorority. of which Miss Utterback is a mem- ber. was very fortunate in having severil programs contributed by the A Cap- pella Choir. lt has now become a regular tradit on tor the music department of the Tuc' son Senior High School to open music week.

The club consists of more than one hundred girls divided into two classes, advanced and beginning. Each year three different lines of music are pursued - individual voice training. music appreciation, and ensemble singing. A new feature in the appreciation course is the giving of credit for listening to approved concerts of classical music. which come over the radio each week. Both the Columbia and the National Broadcasting systems generously contributed their lists of weekly concerts which were approved by Miss Utterback and given to the students. Through the courtesy and consideration of the Allegro Club the civic organ- izations of the city of Tucson have a wealth of talent from which to select their programs. April third of this year brought about the annual Southern Arizona Music Fes- tival. Of the seven schools that were represented Tucson High School was brought to the attention of the musical public by two outstanding vocalists. John Booher and Henry Hubbard and by the A Cappella Choir, Four girls who have shown great promise were chosen as the girls' quartette. These were Janet Gill, first soprano: Jeanne Tetreau. second soprano: Alice Flac- cus, first altog and Wanda Henderson, second alto. Officers chosen by the club this year are as follows: president. Beverly Fair- grieveg vice-president, Priscilla Sanders: secretary-treasurer ffirst hourl. Mary Margaret Waughg secretary-treasurer fsecond hourl, Edith Carrigan.

CUVL'ilL'Sl Fil The Tucson Senior High School Orchestra has been kept active this past year playing for the many requests throughout the season. The Santa Rita Hotel was one of its first patrons and the Masonic Temple soon followed. One of the honors which the students in the orchestra have looked forward to is the front row seats which are always reserved for them during all the plays. Besides playing for the many requests and for the school plays. a concert was given at the Temple of Music at the end of the first semester. A violin duet was played by Peggy Paddock and Patricia Hall at the lVIusical Festival and the Orchestra played The Egyptian Ballet by Luigini. A quartet of strings consisting of Marjorie McGrath. Mary Sue Wafford. Audry Cox. and Fran- cine Ellis played at the second concert at the Temple of Music and the Orchestra played both movements of the Unfinished Symphonyu by Schubert. The officers of the Orchestra of 'IST were: president. Betty Lou Murdock: secre- tary. Helen Omar: director. Bill Sites. and concert master. Patricia Hall. Altogether the year 1937 has been an outstanding and colorful one for this organization. MURDOCK OMER
