ElllL'S GLEE EL B EU SISTS The Star-Spangled Banner, Oh, long may it wave, O'er the land of the free, And the home of the brave. As the closing strains of our stirring National Anthem ring out, it is easy to understand one part music has in National Defense. For defense, it is imperative that the people feel a deep loyalty to their countryg a strong patriotic desire to aid. And music is one of the paramount meth- ods by Which this feeling may be inspired. At Central, the Girls' Glee Club, instructed by Miss Beulah M. Ben- nett, provides a primary part in the program for self-realization. The Glee Club is composed of forty-seven specially chosen voices, which must be suitable for ensemble work and true to pitch. Since it meets every day, it is a full credit class.

UHEHESTHA EU PHISED Ulf FIFTY-Pl E PIECES Among the first in the line of defense activities is the Orchestra. This year with the baton in the hand of Mr. Worth Blair, our new and compe- tent director, the Orchestra, comprised of fifty-five pieces, has provided music for all of our assemblies. It has also played for such special programs as the All-School Play, the St. Joseph's Little Theater plays, and Sunday Vesper services. The Orchestra has undoubtedly maintained the goal set for it by Central's previous orchestras. A great deal of praise for the Orchestra has been voiced by the community. A few of the outstanding students were given training in conducting. The concert masters for this year Were: Bob McReynolds, Walter Martie, and Alice Hendrickson. ax!! .7 X3--Lx t fe .
