The Algonquin Canton High School The Orchestra The orchestra is an organization which was started this year. Last year, Miss Dominy organized a String Ensemble. In June, she gathered together a few bass and wind instruments, put them with the string', group and they played for the Grammar School graduation. In September, more strings were admitted to the organi- zation and it has been steadily growing ever since they played at the one-act play for the iirst time as a real orchestra. They entered the annual Regional Contest in April. Here's to their good luck. We hope that the orchestra will continue to do its best, which is the most any one or any organization can do. Good luck, members. Mary McGraw. lo Madrigal Choir and Girls' Chorus A chosen g1'0up of grammar school and high school pupils have organized a mad- rigal choir.
