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 .-

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 QENQRITH535 i i -, ., W l THE SCRATCH ER'S CLUB The newest organization at Marlborough is really an outgrowth of an old one whose activities ended several years ago. The former Serendipity Club is now experiencing new life and vigor as The Scratcher's Club. For such a new club the Scratchers have enjoyed an unusually full and inter- esting program. Under the able guidance of their sponsor, Miss Dickinson, they have dabbled in book binding and the art of paper craft. The chief contribution to the school has been the publication of the SERENDIPITY, the school paper. The club was also responsible for the first Marlborough Anthology and hopes that it may continue such a collection every year. The members have written a great deal, specializing in nonsense verse, chil- dren's stories and verses, humorous tales and playlets. The light humorous vein seems to be the favorite. In the future the members hope to write even more, to have famous writers come to speak to them, and to carry out any literary program which seems to meet the needs of the school. 2 1 s - 55 E+..-
