20 JUNIOR LIFE BRYANT SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA Minneapolis has a public school with a complete symphony orchestra. The Bryant Junior High has just added enough new instruments to make a complete symphony balance in its stringed section, thus leading all junior orchestras in the northwest—and now it reports each day in sections, having grown so that it is impossible to drill the whole ensemble at once. Ninety per cent of the players, furthermore, own their own insiruments. and these include eight violas, six cellos, five bass viols and a French horn. Thirty members play at least two instruments, and 35 have regular work after school, helping pay for their own lessons. Allen Berg. Marlin Hunter and Fred Unger have complete charge of stage, lighting, and distribution of music. Vincent Harris and William Sears lead the group in scholarship, and 50 of these pupils received A in their gymnasium class during the past six weeks. The members are well represented in Boy and Girl Scout and Camp Fire work. Several arc interested in outside hobbies, particularly swimming and stamp collecting. Panics Palmer loves to mend all of the boys' bicycles. William Sears is a crossword puzzle fan. Willard Green spends his spare time caring for 12 hives of bees. Marguerite Bethel and Orville Dahl are short story writers, the latter also having put much time on floriculture. There are several small orchestras formed from the large one. besides quartets and trios, and many other lines of work which hold the attention of the pupils outside of school time.
