Senior llrchestra The members ot the Senior Orchestra make up one of the oldest musical organiza- tions at Academy Organized shortly after Academy was constructed, the director at that time was Mr. R. Rastatter. Later, Mr. William Owens took charge, and he remained as conductor until 1940. At that time, Mrs. Dolce was appointed directress, and under her able . leadership, the orchestra has been making great strides in playing ability and general musicianship. During the semester, the members of this organization gain valuable experience in group playing, and learn much about the individual instruments. lt has long been the policy ot the school to lend the students some of the instruments tor private practice, thus furthering their interest and ability. Each year, in conjunction with the Band, the Orchestra presents a concert ot both classical and modern music. In the spring, the group makes a tour to some point of interest in the musical World, an opera at Cleveland or perhaps a visit to the Eastman School of Music at Rochester. The officers this year were: loan Lans- berry, Presidentg Betty Mix, Vice President, Geraldine Snow, Treasurer, and William Horn, Secretary. llrum and Bugle Dnrps One of the show pieces ot Academy High, the Girls' Drum and Bugle Corps, is to be seen at all Academy football games, and all civic events. Under the direction ot Miss Edith Meyette, drill mistress, and Mrs. Louise Dolce, musical instructress, the Corps plays in all city parades, and at all holiday celebrations. As a result ot these activities, they lose many ot their vacations and evenings. They take annual trips with the football team, hold a yearly banquet, and sponsor several skating parties and dances.

uluniur Band The lunior Band was organized to provide a kind of proving ground for junior musicians before they are admitted to the Senior Band. Here the students meet the problems of group playing, something not found in the usual beginning instrumental classes. They have, by the time they are promoted to the older group, received a rich experience which makes them better musicians, and consequently, the backbone of a better band for Academy. This will be evident in the years to come. Officers for this past year were: Donald Rettger, President, William Bronston, Vice President, and Constance lohnson, Secretary-Treasurer. Row IAC. York, I.

It has functioned successfully ever since. This year, Roberta Martin, President, Robert Holmes, Vice President, Mary Mueller, Secretary-Treasurer, and Mr. Peterson, director, have continued to carry out the usual schedule for the orchestra. The first purpose of the lunior Orchestra is to provide a rich experience in the playing of fine or- chestral music. ln addition to this, there are other influences in pleasant social contacts and in a balancing of the student's personality through his activity in a cultural subject.
