Violin Clarinet icontinuedj ORCHESTRA The Caernarvon school Orchestra, under the direction oi Mr. Robert Zwally, has more than doubled in size during the past year. From time to time changes have been made to permit the most capable musicians to be members of this growing organization. They have been very active in playing for school activities, such as assemblies, plays, the Christmas Program, Spring Concert, and Commencement. They have also furnished music for such other affairs as the Morgantown Fire Company banquet,Campbell Soup Com- pany's banquet, the Tri-County Dairymen's Association banquet, and the Elverson Hobby Show. Regular practices are held twice each week in the fire hall. Although most of the instruments are owned by the students themselves, a few are the property of the school and are loaned to students showing the best ability for playing them.

STRING GROUP 'Ewa Mr. Robert Zwally, Warren O'Neill, Henry Stoltzfus, Elmeda Riehl, Dawn Abbott, Louella Beiler, George Mountz, Earl Moore. Glenn Beiler, Sadie Kurtz, Ralph Stoltzfus, Rachel Stoltzfus, Ruth Pike, Esther Stoltzfus, Gladys Beiler, Pearl Beiler. The String Group is a new musical organization formed this year by Mr. Robert Zwally,Caernarvon music teacher. It consists of string instruments only, such as Hawaiian guitars, Spanish guitars, mandollns, and banjos. Mr. Zwally gives private lessons to these students from both the elementary and high schools. Because so few of them have played these instruments before the group has not ad- vanced to the point where they have made a public appearance, however, another year will probably bring this degree of perfection.
