K 1 . Lf rum, ORCHESTRA Many obstacles hindered the progress of the orchestra at the beginning of the year, but through earnest practice we overcame them. During the past term, the din-vtorship has changed hands three times. Neveriht-less, we have performed for P.T.A., assemblies, and the annual Spring Concert. All during the year we have been playing the music of China, Mexico, and South America. Playing this music has helped us to understand more thoroughly the culture of other countries with which we shall be more closely connected after the war. The personnel includes: Piano - Dorothea Frischmann, Flutes - Ruth Virden, Claire Speicher, Violins - Betty Hatfield, John Crisi, William Blasberg, jr., Donald Struckman, Dorothy Wheeler, George DeGuisto, Cello - Mary D'Angelo, Clarinets - William Bagge, George Keehan, Robert Ullrich, joseph Murray, Charles DeGuisto, Saxophones - William Kee- han, Frank Conover, Horn - Joseph Frisch- mann, Trombone - John Hackett, Trumpets - Ernest johnson, George Bagge, Drums - Louisa Behlen, joseph Palermo, Ronald Paulson. Qlyglilvll Q f Sv BAND The band organized as usual in September Instrumentation is as f under the direction of Mr. Harry Taylor. We Trumpet found that last june's graduation had taken more than its usual heavy toll of experienced players. Early in the term, Mr. Taylor, who had been our director for two years, accepted another position in the South. The directorship was then assumed by Mr. Arthur Murphy, who in January went to California. Miss Gertrude Lauterwasser now has charge. New music has been added to our repertoire, junior members have been added, and we are looking forward to bigger and better things to come.

HONOR SOCIETY The Third Degree consists of ten members who in the opin- ion of the faculty and Honor Society members are capable of leading the organization. At our First Degree Initiation held on December 3, thirty new members were received. At that time, the Honorable Walter G. Seely gave his customary address to the candidates. In addition, the Second Degree Initiation was held in the spring, and the Third Degree Initiation in june at which time new members were elected to take the place of those who had graduated. The Third Degree has assisted Mr. Silliman in his work with the Service News Supplement by obtaining pictures of the Alumni in the service, and by addressing envelopes. Today, the characteristics that the Honor Society strives to instill in us-leadership, good conduct, and service--are of more importance than ever before. The key word of this organization, cooperation, is helping those former members, now in the armed forces, to fight more earnestly for ultimate victory and a lasting peace which we know shall be ours. In the World of Tomorrow, it is such qualities that will determine the kind of world we shall live in. To accomplish all this and to stir up that vital spirit of unity in us, there could be no better organization than our own Honor Society. To our adviser, Miss Robbie, we should like to extend our most sincere thanks and appreciation for her unceasing efforts and kind assistance. 1,1 .4 Og STUDENT COUNCIL a high privilege.
