Till' Ship Tl I K OKH'I 1 KSrrUA TIip High school orchestra was organized the first week of school last September for the school year of 1909-10. It was a success from the beginning, having had more engagements the first half of the year than the last. We started out by practicing one night a week. Besides the regular practice the orchestra played in chapel three times a week. This helped considerably in the uniformity of the playing. We are proud of the success attained in this manner as we believe we are one of the very few high school orchestras that play for chapel services. At the present time the orchestra is not as large as it was at the beginning of school. A number of the members have dropped school and a few left town. Consequently their absence has been much felt. Among those leaving the orchestra for various reasons are Camille Nolle and Freddie Funk, two tine first violinists. Mr. Rucliman, cornetist. and Day Cunningham, French horn player. We have been assured of Day's presence in the orchestra next year and have strong hopes of Camille's being with us. In spite of hardships we still claim that we h ive the h st hign school orchestra in Nebraska. From present indications, next year will be a banner year for the Alliance High school in musical circles. We will undoubtedly have an orchestra that will eclipse any we ever had and will in all probability be the best, without exception, of any orchestra in Western Nebraska. Following is a list of the members: Naomi Nelson. Paul Thomas,'first violin; Harold Thomas, Mabel Worley, second violin; William Damon. Clark Taylor. Merritt Chaffee, cornet; Charles Damon. Charles Spacht. clarinet; Herbert Nelson, Carl Thomas, ‘cello; Ralph Thomas, Norman McCorkle, Hester Tink ham. trombone; Beulah Smith, piano; (I. H. Williams, leader and trombone. The success of the orchestra has been largely due to the able leadership of Prof. G. H. Williams. The Alliance High school is indeed fortunate in having such a competent leader for its orchestra. Under his able leadership the success of the orchestra for next year is already assured. if)
