Tl-lEI936BARNARDBRIC r ca he e e rswsvwei e as e r m The Orchestra W -g yiiei IT a recent meeting of the members of the Barnard Orchestra, called for the lb tl 'l t h ' fls 35 f 'll b ltt 1 purposc y ie presicen, t e season or 235- 1 was orma y rougi o 1 close. This year, the orchestra, as during the several preceding years, was under the direction of Mr. Lacy Coe, who contributed materially to the 'NWN-TW success of the orchestra by his experience and skillful leadership. The members of the orchestra took the opportunity to express to Mr. Coe their deep appre- ciation of his assistance and advice in his capacity as orchestra leader. Although the membership of the orchestra was smaller this year than for several seasons past, all of the members were boys who had played with the orchestra for several years and who were consequently well experienced along musical lines. Four of the orchestra members were Seniors who will graduate this year. The orchestra will miss them but is hoping to make up for their loss by the boys who will enter the High School next Fall from the Middle School. The orchestra played at practically all of the school functions during the year and acquitted itself commendably, the members at all times showing their willingness to cooperate with any group that was planning a school affair. Plans were made at the last meeting for the continuance of the orchestra next season and for the addition of new members. The olhcers for the year then handed in their resignations and the meet- ing was closed by the president. The Seniors who will leave the orchestra this year are: Howard Powell, Presidentg Granville Rogers, Vice-Presidentg Robert McKelvey, and Lawrence Evans.

This group is S 4 I li i , . 4- . ' under the supervision of Dr. Hazen, who is an ex othcio member. Prac- tically all of the disciplinary problems of the school come under the juris- diction of the Student Council, which has often proved its ability to cope with the questions it is called upon to settle. In spite of its rather stern duties, the Student Council has won the respect and admiration of the student body and the trust of the faculty, the members of which refer many of their disciplinary problems to the Council. It is through its wise and ethcient treatment of the many difficult problems presented to it for treatment, that the Student Council has become one of the leading school organizations.
