LA SBNORITH55 TROUBADOURS A musical club which provides for the annual Christmas Festival has been for many years a part of the Marlborough School. lt has, however, existed under many different namesg for the past two years it has been known as the Trouba- dours, a fitting name since the members dress as English troubadours for the Festival. This year the club members have had another opportunity to offer their services, this time to the California Fiesta. It has been the custom of the group to have an instructor, and this year meetings were twice weekly under the able leadership of Miss Durkee. With mandolins, guitars, ukuleles, violins, and flute, they made a group very like the old minstrels, offering freely and gladlywhenever their music was desired.

LA SENORITHQ l THE GLEE CLUB With Mrs. Williams for adviser the Glee Club has completed an unusually successful year. lt is headed by Allene Pelton, presidentg Dorothy Bailie, vice- presidentg Adele Stroup, secretary and treasurerg and Mary Swartz and Grace Ruddock, librarians. The club took a prominent part in the Christmas festivities, and provided several girls, known as the Clee Club Troubadours, who sang to the accompani- ment ot the Troubadours. The girls of the club spent the greater part of the second semester rehearsing for the spring Fiesta, and the Glee Club Troubadours again contributed materially to the atmosphere of the occasion. As usual this group will entertain as part of Commencement Week. The Senior members will leave regretfully but with best wishes for continued success in the future. 2, : -1- it 5, .iii fm. sa sz

A SENORITH onu. l TH E ORCH ESTRA This year the orchestra has been having practices twice a week under the direction of Mr. Kilbourne, formerly orchestra director at the University of Ore- gon. It was through the efforts of Miss Blake that this advantage was given us, and we take this opportunity to express our gratitude and appreciation. Although the group is constantly seeking new members, a great deal has been accomplished with the limited number. The orchestra consists of: Betty Mae Philp, fluteg Virginia Cray, violing Edith Gibbs, cornetg Dorothy Stevens, cellog Priscilla Riter, pianog and lennie Bevis, traps, The orchestra furnished the music at the Christmas Festival, rendering such selections as The Bohemian Girl , lv1aritana , many old English carols, and other numbers from its repertoire. The last of the year was principally spent in rehearsing the music of early California in preparation for the Pageant. The orchestra is looking forward to a year of greater development through the opportunity of skilled leadership which is offered to it. 1 : 'f' .. -. 54 .-
