This accomplishment has been due to the sheer musical skill and organizing ability of the leader of the group, Thor Johnson. At present the organization provides opportunity for expression on the part of its leader and other serious young musicians of the student body. During this year the group has played campus concerts, at Playmaker productions, and at other University events, and is fast securing the appreciation it deserves. Two Hundred Sixty-four
