' 704en 0m Ofzeiedha ' As the dictionary defines it: The orchestra is a group of players on various instru- ments which are divided into 4 groups: strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussiong the strings being the backbone of this group. Needless to say, before we can begin building an orchestra, we must build a strong backbone. Because the string instrument is the most difficult to learn, those students selected to study a string should be only those with the most musical ability. Students interested in playing a string instrument can start in the fifth grade. They may choose violin, viola, cello, or string bass. If the student shows interest, ability, and progress, he may continue his lessons straight through high school, at no cost to him. The Senior Orchestra is composed of those students who have developed musician- ship, technique, the ability to play in tune, the ability to read music well, and the ability to make themselves a dependable part of a well-working unit. The orchestra is under the direction of Miss Judith Hewitt. She and the students of senior orchestra have worked hard to make the group excel in quality thus making up for what they lack in quantity. This is the first time that three string players from the senior orchestra have partici- pated in NYSSMA's section All-State. 3I

Also the teachers probably enjoyed it, because for one day of the year they could sit back and leave the responsibilities of teaching to the student teachers. The purpose of Student Teacher Day is to give the students the opportunity to decide whether or not they would like to go into the teaching profession. Student teachers are Juniors or Seniors who maintain a satisfactory average and are qualified to teach a given subject. Those participating were Dewitt Niles.
