A With its ranks swelled to thirteen members, this year's orchestra set- tled down to earnest work under the baton of Mr. David Lepard, music director for the Pomona city schools. Under his guidance, the musty archives of Heifitz Hall were catalogued in quest of new music. These and Mr. Lepard's own re- sources supplied the orchestra with appropriate tunes. Although the fif- teen-piece ensemble did not loin the choir at the Christmas Program, the members determined to face the music, and gave a most successful performance one evening at dinner. The orchestra also played at Parent's Day and Commencement, while the brass ensemble, a new division, lent its pleasing strains to the dedication of Jameson Hall and to the Chapel. Although perhaps no philharmonic, the orchestra certainly offered en- ioyment and challenge to all its members.

T' NJ 5 ,if - 'Xu ip-, Wm g vu. H: S l ' A I ,Q -4' The shop, with Mr. Iversen as fac- ulty advisor and Mr. Charles Savage at the controls, has attracted many of the more manually oriented Webbites. On a good day, the quonset is a hive of activity: the buzz of the saws, the roar of the drill, the cacophony of sounds em- anating from the shop announce to the campus that boys are working . . . discovering the power which comes from labor, from creativity. Often before one of the home dances the scream and whine of the power saws could be heard trans- forming a pile of lumber into the island of Alcatraz, or some equally incredible creation. From Pomona College's floats to hydroplanes, from pseudo-Polynesian sculpture to lacerated and blistered hands . . . the shop was equipped and avail- able to help Webb School students build, and to build better.

Few clubs in past years had the vol- ume or tone control or well-blended mixture of tenors and basses that this year's Glee Club boasted. All classes, even the Eighth Grade, were well represented and participated willingly and happily in the Christ- mas Program Iwith girlsl and even in Chapel on Sunday Iwith more girlsl. Director McMillin and the elected officers-President Gaynor, Vice-President Reynolds, Secretary- Treasurer J. Smith and Sergeant-at Arms Geremia -- disciplined and drilled the group in precision march- ing and singing, To facilitate seat- ing in the over-crowded Chapel, the Choir sat each morning in front and led the student body singing. When not practicing for special programs, the Choir indulged in a recording of Christmas Candle and starring performances at the Jameson Dor- mitory dedication, Parents Day, and Commencement.
