30 TRUE BLUE ORCHESTRA Under the leadership of Miss Miller, the orchestra has had a very successful year. The officers for this year are: president, Paul M. Anderson; secretary and treasurer, Harold Olson. Eleven members are en- rolled, a great increase over last year’s organization. Violins Clarence Lee Frances Heasman Katherine Arnquist Reba Offerdahl Constance Blegan Detlof Johnson Charles Holden Mandolins Paul Anderson, president Cornet Harold Olson, secretary and treasurer Drum Oscar Hoglund Piano Doris Johnson The orchestra has played for ten school activities, including the class play and the commencement exercises. Next year the orchestra will lose the services of Doris Johnson, Paul Anderson, and Clarence Lee, all of the class of ’17. However, there is a possibility of securing several new violinists, a cometist, and a clarinetist . Some new selections were played at the class play and the commencement exer- cises: “The Birds of Spring,” “Goblins Frolics,” and “Star Spangled Banner.” The orchestra also accompanied the glee club and the double quartette at these ex- ercises. Thanks are due Mr. Howard, who furn- ished the orchestra with several pieces of music this winter. H. D. O., T8. THALIAN LITERARY SOCIETY

The membership has remained practically the same, and each member has shown her en- thusiasm in the work. Among the various activities at which they sang are: parents’ and teachers’ meetings, the debate, the ora- torical and declamatory contests, and vari- ous high school programs. At the athletic association entertainment the following se- lections were sung: “The Maybells and Flowers,” “Voice of the Western Wind,” and “The Shower.” The double quartet sang the following at both the boys’ and girls’ district contests at the armory, May 4: “In the Gloaming”— Wilson; “From the Land of the Sky Blue W ater’ ’—Cadman. Then completing the program for the school year, all of the members, accom- panied by the high school orchestra, sang the following at the commencement ex- ercises, Thursday, May 24: “Voices of the Woods,” and “Arrangement of Melody in F” —Rubinstein.
