'L 'ZCL The orchestra has progressed quite rapidly this year under the leadership of our new music director, Mr. Yoder. This group consisting of thirty-three members, has appeared in public several times and performed remark- ably well each time. The orchestra participated in the Howard-Longton concert, presented at both Howard and Longton and also went to the Southwestern Music Contest at Winfield 'in April. Paul Wisner and Ward Wright from this group at- tended the Southern Kansas Music Festival at Wichita in February. The better numbers of the year's work are: Mari- tana, Adagio from Sonato Pathetiquef' Invitation to the Dance,'1 and Procession of the Sardar. The orchestra forms a background of culture which can not be obtained from other branches of education. Evelyn Calvert. CVM The band was organized in September, 1934, by Mr. Signer with only ten members, but the group was very enthusiastic and within two weeks there were twenty com- ing to practice. Each year the band has increased in num- ber and developed new talent and technique. The band began the fall of 1938 with twenty-nine en- rolled under the guidance of a new instructor, Mr, Yoder. During the year this organization participated in many outside functions, mainly: marching and playing at foot- ball games. Howard-Longton concert, and leading parades during carnival week in October. The band has been an inspiration to the school and an aspiration to the students. it is an organization we can well be proud of. Evelyn Calvert. 33
