THE P1140 T ya- Pipe Organ Redondo Union High School is one of the fortunate public schools in California to possess a three manual pipe organ. This instrument was installed in 1915, and it has been in constant use during the entire school year. It offers great opportunity to a student in securing the fundamentals of organ playing, especially if he intends to follow up this line of work after leaving high school. The organ is used in combination with the orchestra, There is ample op- portunity for students to play at assemblies and other entertainments held at the school. Two recitals are given yearly. This year the advanced students, under the di- rection of their instructor, lwiss Alice Carey, were presented in a recital on January 16, and the entire class of fourteen students appeared in recital on lVIay 24. The type of work done in the classes this year shows a marked improvement over former years, and every student taking this work feels that it is not only Worth While but also adds much to his enjoyment and equipment in musical education.
