Any pupil will agree that the orchestra has made every assembly more enjoyable. During the Christmas season, the orchestra plays a vital part in the Christmas show. But that is only the beginning because with the co-operation of the chorus the members bring cheer to all by playing Christmas music through the halls. The orchestra is active during the spring term also. The Annual Spring Concert is fast becoming a tradition. Mr. Wilhelm
