The Boys' Glee Club was practicing again. These fellows, as you will see by the grins in the picture above, all enjoy singing. They sang for the Fair, the Operetta, and the Junior Play. Miss Brown, their conductor, entered our musical fellows in the District Music Contest which was held in Watseka, Saturday, April fourteenth. They took second place in this event which entitles them to compete in the state contest at Normal, May nineteenth. At the time of going to press the contest has not yet taken place. th irty-six

Cissna Park Community High School, May 3, 1928. Dear General Public: We want to tell you just how much joy and benefit we have derived from our Orchestra this year. Here is the picture we had taken of it. As you see it is quite well balanced as to instrumentation. There are two saxophones, four clarinets, one cornet, four violins, one cello and a drum. The otier cornetist, Delbert Pendergast, was not here the day the picture was ta en. Our Orchestra has learned about fifteen selections this year. We practice every Thursday afternoon. We members of the Orchestra learn to be independent while playing, but yet to play with others in a way which blend all parts together with none predominant. Our Orchestra played several selections for the Fair early in the fall and a combination of Christmas Songs for the Christmas program. For the Senior play they presented The Old Clock, Flower Song by Sange, Santa Lucia and America the Beautiful. We also played for the Inter- Society Contest and Commencement. We were one of six Orchestras en- tered in the Whippet Six Contest and of the District Contest. The pieces used in competing in these contests were Pilgrim's Chorus from Tann- hauser and The Old Clock. Besides this, the hours of Orchestra practice have been some of the jolliest we had throughout the school year and they will bring many happy memories. Sincerely yours, THE ORCHESTRA. zhirty-live
