QQEE A large, but little publicized section of our music department is the glee club, under the direction of Milton Kwate. It has grown to forty voices of whom only ten are former members. Mr. Kwate states: 1 can honestly say, in spite of the lack of experience, this is the best Glee Club I have ever conducted. The students are to be congratulated on their fine work and good spirit. ' At the beginning of the year, a program featuring the glee club was presented to the student body. They also presented the greatest part of the annual Christmas program. They sang at various clubs, such as the Junior Women's Club and the P.T.A. At the music festival they earned an A rating when they sang Old Ark's A-moverin , If I Loved You , and Pava.ne . They concluded a good year by singing for the Baccalaureatte services. .La - 5, FIRST ROW, left to right: Wilda Barclay, Clarice Knecht, Joyce Leach, Everett Button, Richard Nichols, Eddie Lewis, Wayne Gravelle, Walter Hicks, Daryl Gleason, Kemieth Warren, Bill Arnold, Mary Louise'Thomas, Genevieve Holt, Tressie Hibdon.

Orland has long been known for its excellent high school band. This year the seventy-two members, under the able leadership of Mr. Kwate, have lived up to their predecessors. To quote Mr. Kwate: The band is asked to play every time a cat crosses the street. This statement might not be exactly true, but nearly every community program did include the band. Some of these activities were the Glenn County Fair parades, the Hallowe'en and Christmas parties, the Memorial Day program, all the local football games, and the baccalaureatte and graduation exercises. For several years the band has been in need of good uniforms. This year something was done about this need. Four hundred dollars was made at the parking concession that the band maintained during the county fair. On February 25, a benefit dance added about seven hundred dollars to the fund. The Senior Class also offered a gift of 5300. Finally, in April, a snappy looking blue and white uniform was purchased. Now the band had both the appearance and playing ability that is very hard to beat.
