Practice in preparation for the concerts was held in the Chapel at seven o'cl0ck in the evening at more or less regular intervals, beginning in September. The first program was presented before the student body on the Friday evening preceding the Christmas vacation, and the arrangement of eight selections, two of which were solos by Filbert Hitch, was much enjoyed by all. The February Prom was the joyous occasion for the next presentation of the Club. This performance, together with two plays given by the Dramatic Club and the pieces played by the orchestra, was rendered for the entertainment of the students and their guests prior to the formal dance. The Glee Club's program, which consisted of a pleas- ing combination of college Glees, negro ballads, popular and classical numbers, was enthusiastically received. Undoubtedly the best performance of the concert was the solo singing of Hoagland. At the time THE TRAIL goes to press preparations are under way for the concerts at Martha Washington Seminary and the june Prom. These appear- ances will undoubtedly add still more to the prestige of the Club. Eigbly-nine

The 1929 TRAIL cw ' Y' Y, ,, ,Jfvggr , , V ,ff-Y Y , , Z ,,,,,g,, , gf, 4 si' tl s L57 5 Orchestra HIS YE.-xR's ORCHESTRA, under the leadership of jim Barron, was one of the best ever turned out by the school. The orchestra this year was not only larger than the usual aggregation, but was also capable of playing a great many more popular numbers. Jim Barron and his two understudies, Shorty Pease and Ken White, performed admir- ably on the saxaphones. The presence cf Sig james and his sousaphone helped con- siderably, and gave the orchestra a greater volume than it has ever before been possible to have. jack Brewer's excellent playing at the piano has been excelled by none in the last few years. Ted Law's work at the drums was good, while Dellert displayed an excellent knowledge of the trumpet. The orchestra suffered somewhat from the lack of stringed instruments, but, nevertheless, proved to the student body that it could produce syncopation of a high quality. The music makers played a number of times before the school, but as yet no trips have been arranged. The concert given at the Mid-Winter Prom was rendered well and received with the hearty approval of a large audience. Ninety-one
