Page Twenty-eight 015132 Zlrsenal Qfannnn Tech's Band During the past semester the band at Tech has progressed rapidly. Most high school bands are shy on bass and baritone, because boys buy a clarinet or cornet, but the bass section was unusually good this year, The School Board supported the band very Well, and its purch- ase of a number of instruments insured a better balanced instrumentation. The band organized and practiced in such a way that it was able to play on parade or at concert any moment. Its work at the games was heartily appreciated by the rooters. The band next year will continue its program of playing in public and it will welcome many new members. Those who desire to be in this organization should mention it on their study slips so that the office can arrange their sche- dule. ooeeo january Senior News During the past semester the january 722 class carried on a scholarship contest between the three roll rooms, 65A, 6513, and 65C to boost the scholarship standard. The contest was based on the average number of honor points in each roll room, all the contestants wore a badge designating their respective roll rooms, 65A's being designed by Russel Stewart, 65B's by Helen Ludemann and 65C's by George Patong The three little air-planes-the work- manship of Russel Stewart- hanging on their wires in 65 marked the progress of the campaign in which everyone was interested and in which competition was unusually keen. QQQQQ The Opera Club Mr. Percival has received so many inquiries about joining the Opera Club, that he Wishes to take this means of informing all who are interested. There will be a try-out for membership, one day only, some day of the first week next September. All who are interested should watch the bulletin for a more definite announce- ment, as it is quite likely that the membership will be filled at the first try-out. The opera to be given will be the Princess Bonnie, or The Maid and the Middyf' It will be given in the Murat Theater the first week in December, with special scenery and costumes, and accompanied by selected mem- bers of the orchestra. As the Opera Club is now an established organization, we may look for a brilliant performance. Drum Corps Twenty-two boys, twenty-one of them novi- ces, enrolled at the beginning of the semester, in the Tech Drum Corps. 'lhey began to re- hearse immediately, under Mr. Percival, at the sixth period, Mondays and Fridays. During the term they have learned to beat the drum and toot the bugle, and have com- mitted to memory two marches, Paris, and '4Kansas.H While their repertoire is not so very large, at the same time they have advanced enough in the work to be able to appear on parade. It is guaranteed that they can make as much noise as any drum corps of the same size. The members not only appear in a body, but play in the different periods to assist the cadets to march- The Drum Corps is a useful organization be- cause its music is military, and lills a long felt want in military maneuvers. 004960- The Tech Cglartette That burst of harmony in the second act of the Senior play was accomplished by the Tech quartette composed of Parker Burns, Kenneth Thorne, Arnold Schultz, and Yale Raymond. These boys,under the capable leader- ship of Miss Kaltz have done much to elevate Tech on the musical side. The quartette was organized in September and sang a number of selections during auditorium and especially in Pinaforef' This semester they have devoted a great deal of their time to singing in outside localities. Recently the quartette went to Acton, Indiana, to sing for the high school play, and left a gooi impression of Tech talent. We wish them hearty prospects for the future. +0044 The Vocal Culture Class Many of the larger high schools of the country have added and are organizing classes in voice culture. The purpose is to develop talent along special lines in voice work. It is an aid in doing this just as the glee club is an aid in discovering talent. Mr. Percival has started one here at Tech, and it would be wise for all pupils who are in- terested to bear it in mind when they fill out their study slips. It is a half credit subject. At the national convention of music supervis- ors, held in Saint joseph, Missouri, last April, the subject of voice culture was given quite a little attention and Tech was recognized as one of the larger schools having this in the curri- culum.

Page Thirty The Qtsenal Qliannun The Orchestra The orchestra has just finished one of its most successful semesters. It is a self-govern- ing organization using Roberts, Rules of Order for its guide. The director has the power of ratification and veto. The officers elected were Carroll Bonnell, president, Anna Boles, vice- president, Gertrude Free, secretary, John Berry, sergeant-at-arms, lVIildred Goens, libra- rian. The Woodruff Club was made the head- quarters for all rehearsals all this semester. Business meetings were held every Thursday. At one of the meetings an interesting bit of legislation was enacted. It consisted of the adoption of a pin, the design of which affords space for the indication of the number of semesters a student has been a member. An inexpensive pearl is inserted for each semester of his membership. Carroll Bonnell, a post- graduate, is entitled to the most pearls, since he has been a member ever since he was a freshman. The members of the orchestra are among Techis most loyal students. They are very de- pendable. Not one member has failed to at- tend a public performance given by the orches- tra. Such loyalty and fine school spirit cannot be surpassed. Think of the comfort and joy such a dependable group must be to its director. This year all the music at the Class Play, the Arbor Day exercises, and Class Day exercises was furnished by the orchestra. A splash of ceremony was added to commencement by the appropriate overture and the stately pro- cessional march which the orchestra contributed othet program.
