The success of the orchestra dates back farther than high vSC3l'l'OOl, to the time when Miss Phyllis Harnden chose a group of boys and girls who had never before played together and planted the seeds which resulted in the orchestra of which we are so proud today. The orchestra played at the drama, one evening at speaking, and on several occa- sions at school. agp T or KDE XY! i
