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. Below is the complete list of the full orchestra: Violins Concert Masters: Orville Dahl Lewis Brown Sylvia Fundberg Susan Gardiner Audrey Johnson Marlin Hunter Lawrence Lockhart Emmett Carlson Virginia Nevius Marguerite Bethel Alvin Sonnenberg Lucius Caswell Arling Tennant Allan Berg Howard Bartley Jack O'Connor Clair Armstrong Panaiotes Kosmas Dallas Kudrud Marjorie Rector Mary Louise Loomis Elder Klein Dorothy Broderick Clifford Aldrich Gordon Campbell Vincent Orfield Dannie Jeffries Arnold Nordstrom Ruth Courtney Dale Jeffries George Sol berg Leonard Johnson Raymond Burlingame Kenneth Anderson Vincent Nylin Gordon Michalson Jacqueline Carlton Clyde Wesc he Leslie Knudtson Lucian Vorpahl Curt s Chute Domld Crocker Starby Stafford Gordon Ekstrom Stanley Boyer Max Moulton Alvin Monson Jcanc’t: Miller Louis Klass Duane Barton Kenneth Bradt Arnold Kjolaas Milton Halvin Ford Pearson Jerome Margulies George Wilson Edmund Ferris Nick Soteroplos Harold Ohlsson Ethel Townsend Johanna Koupis Roy Jordan ’Cellos Eugene Klass Concert Master Theodore Erck Mary Sanford Irving Du Four Robert Dahl Eunice Simpson Georgia Keyes Cornets Concert Masters: Harold McIntyre Glen ’ab Johnson Willard Green Conrad Olson Clirton Smith Donald L sor CrVb” Epb-noks Milton Ransdcll Fred Unger French Korn Willard Green Baritone Harold Jcppcsen Saxophones C Melody Harold Parks James Palmer B Flat Roderick Fraser E Flat Alto Frank Hubbard Arne ’I horsen Lawrence Johnson George Hinyt ke Louise Allison Clarinets Arthur Sanford Concert Master Walter Anderson Herbert Taylor Donald Weeks Mario Gonnclla John Hendrickson Robert Stewart
