lnstrumental groups perform school and community functions The orchestra and the band compose our instrumental music department. The orchestra, which provided music at the school plays, also performed in chapel and for the iunior high school. Several of its members - George Bukes, Walt Comin, Norman Steen, Fred Strom, and Diane Thomas-qualified to play in the Pittsburgh Symphony Junior. Marching at football games and band festi- vals and providing music for pep meetings were the fall activities of the Wilkinsburg Tiger Band. Concert season, highlighted by the mid-winter concert, followed, and March found Wilkinsburg as host to the annual All- State Band. Participating were 200 high school musicians from T91 schools in Pennsylvania, this number included twelve of our own students. In its second year of existence the dance band played for social events at Baldwin, Scott, and other schools.

Every Wilkinsburg student is familiar with the a cappella choir. He will always remember the prayer response by the choir during the daily chapel exercises and the vesper service and the carols in the halls just before Christmas. The choir will not forget the hard work and fun which went into the preparations for the public appearances nor the concerts them- selves---'especially the highlight of the year, Musicians contribute skill the Winter Concert. The ioy of this per- formance soon gave way to sad feeling at Commencement when the seniors sang For You, High for the last time as a class. Officers were Ed Guerdan, president, Ann Stone, vice president, Patsy Barosh, secretary, Carol McCartney, librarian, Dave Macnab, wardrobe master, and Sandra Havelin, ward- robe mistress. Led by Dale Hedding and Bruce But Ier, choir carols at Christmas,
