,J T. W. Thorson he director raises his baton, the students are hushed. The 1937-1938 musical year and its problems begin. Given: An outstanding musi- cal director and one hundred seventy-five music students. l'roblem: To cooperate in following a hard path toward the one vanishing goal, perfect music. Solution: l'racticc and more practice. Re- ward: The joy of working under Mr. Thorson's guidance, the development of our musical abili- ties, and the participation in contests and in school and comnuinity activities. livery Tuesday morning at eight we see students of all sizes and shapes streaming toward the high school auditorium. It is the band members hurrying to attend the weekly rehearsal hour alloted to them. This group has a large in- clarinets, forty-five strumentation of three fiutes, eighteen eight saxophones, two oboes, two bassoons, six cornefs, six horns, four baritones, five trombones, five basses, two bass viols, and six percussion. The hand is not only one of the most popular music groups, but also the most self-supporting. lt won first place and seventy-five dollars as well as a medal at the Grand Forks State Fair and tirst place and twenty-hve dollars at the Ninth District .'Xllll'l'lC!tl1 Legion Convention at Thief River Falls. ln addition, the band appeared in local parades: such as, the Fourth of .luly Celebration. the Firemen's Convention, and opened the summer series of baud concerts in Central l'ark. The major portion of this unit played for the annual physical education demon- stration. .fX distinction which the band holds and which is unlike that of any other band in the valley is that the President of the United States remained at attention while they played the Sim' Sjnlliglefi lfuzzzzer. The blare of trumpets and the roll of the drum introduce us to the pep band. This organi- zation, a selected membership of the high school One, Two, Three bf MARIAN OLSON EVELYN HOWARD band, turned out with flying colors and stirring music to play at all football and basketball games and at pep meetings. The highlight of the season was the trip that the band made to the basketball tournament at liast Grand Forks. The most dignified organization is the concert orchestra, which appears in full dress. The full orchestra played at the XVinter Musical and at an evening performance for the Red River Valley Shows. A portion of the orchestra referred to as the pit orchestra performed during the year at various programs. Among these were the grade operetta, the junior and senior class plays, the Arinistice Day program, and the program for essay awards, as well as the traditional perform- ance at the baccalaureate and commencement ex- ercises. The instrumentation of the concert or- chestra, six first violins, eight second violins, four violas, seven cellos, two cornets, two oboes, In Appreciation During the seven years that Xlr. Tliorsou has been in charge of the music department in Central music has risen from a pastime to a project of ma- jor importance. No longer is a program, a football or basketball game, or even a meeting complete without Nr. Thorson and his music. Music has helped greatly to raise thc standards of the school. No student guilty of smoking or dissipation is al- lowed to continue as a member of any music group. Grades must also be kept up to par in order to par- ticipate. Many is the student whose wandering in- terests have been caught and held by music. Their grades were low: but because they desired to re- main in music participation, they brought them up to par, Not only the school and its students, but also the community and its citizens owe much to Mr. Thorson. The services that he has rendered them for the betterment of future citizens is invaluable. E601
