At the oratorical contest the orchestra played some charming numbers. Altogether the standard of the orchestra is higher than ever before. There is a larger enrollment, the musi- cians are more experienced in orchestral work and the music used has been of a higher class. We justly take pride in our orchestra.

The concert is going to be a feast of good music. Among the numbers to be played are 11Sweethearts by Victor Herbert Firefly by F111rn1,ttVIarch VIilitaire by Schur bert. The Oichestra has generously decided to appropriate the 111oceeds of the conce1t to the C01 umbia College Annual fund. This is surely appreciated by the student body. Thirty-nine
