MJLC lllusic was chosen as the theme of the 1945 Santa Lucia for a very good reason. The Music department is the best it has been for a very long time. The orchestra has played several times this year, at such occasions as the district meeting of the P.-T.A., and the Fashion'Showg they also provided the music for the Senior Play. The string section has been very noticeably improved, one of the im- provements being that they all bow together, producing a well-rounded tone. Another section which deserves praise is the percussion section with Roberta Cameron at the Tympani. The Girls' Glee Club sang for the P.-T.A., the VVoman's Club, the King's Daughters, they made a big hit at the Fashion Show, and were very impressive at graduation. For V-E Day assembly at the high school auditorium, they sang the Navy Hymn. The German Band raised the roof at the initiation and on several other occasions during the year. A new addition to the Music department this year has been the Swingerettes, a sextette organized by a group of several Senior girls and one Sophomore. During the school year, they sang for two school dances, the two P.-T.A. meetings, and the Girls' League Formal. Roberta Faes and Barbara Pigott did the arranging of the popular songs, and Mr. Jenkins accompanied the girls. The band has been the busiest organization in the lVIusic department this year. They began by providing the music for the football games in the fall, and for the school assemblies. As for patriotic appearances, they played for the Sixth War Loan Bond Rally, the first raising of the Minuteman flag, and the assembly in honor o-f V-E Day. They really made a name for themselves at the Fashion Show with their playing of the Victory Garden Suite, consisting of Carrot Capers, Boogie- Woogie Broccoli, and a trumpet duet, The Pals, played by Lawrence Curneen and Jack Estrada. Soon after the Fashion Show, the band went to the Northern California Music Festival at San Jose, where they played Pilgrim's March and Olympia Overture. The criticisms sent back were all quite favorable, saying the band had excellent pitch and intonation and played their numbers with exceptional ease. The more critical ob- servations were weakness in the clarinet section and considerable foot tapping. The last major appearance the band made this year was at graduation, when they played Olympia Overture, Pilgrim's March, Pomp and Circumstance, and Star-Spangled Banner.
