N lr KN Q With the school year but one day old, the Varsity Qrchestra was already actively en- gaged at its regular work. Several days before the opening of school, the members had been notified by newspaper announcement of their first rehearsal. They met with Mr. Paul B. Lewis, director, who has had charge of this unit for four years. This meeting was given over to acquainting new members, who had been transferred from the Reserve and Freshman orchestras, with the more difficult music of the Varsity repertoire. Thus the Varsity Orches- tra began another year of service to the school, its twenty-sixth. The Varsity Orchestra supplies music for many entertainments. At the Senior Play, the audience is greeted by one of its overtures, entertained by miscellaneous numbers between the FIRST HOW' fl.Pfl lo liightl: Fl'uIu'z's Wl1'Conllf'Il. Chrisiinn- fQo1'ril1g4'r.

When minstrel time comes, the orchestra plays popular numbers with equal gusto. Whether it be opera, minstrel, or every day chapel music, these musicians are never lacking in enthus- iasm and ability. The officers are: president, Murray Edelman, secretary-treasurer, Mary Dzurusg student leader, Robert Mosley, assistant student leader, John Brislin. ' The first pep meeting, which accompanied the opening of the football season, was held on Thursday, September 17. With a group of seven cheerleaders, the student body re- hearsed cheers. The cheerleaders were: Robert Boyle, Thomas Cavan, David Johnson, Albert Baloga, Theodore Evans, Jack Walsh, and Ralph Brass. GH

The second in importance of Coughlin's three orchestras is the Reserve. This group is made up of students who have served their apprenticeship in both the grade school and Freshman orchestras. Their director is Mr. Herbert Frey. The Reserve Orchestra meets for rehearsals every Thursday. Being beyond the stage of playing pieces of simple rhythm, the members practice more intricate numbers. At times, when a particularly difficult passage withstands solution at their regular meetings, these ambitious individuals return after school to finish their uncompleted work. ln this way, they build up both the persistence and ability necessary if they are later to form a 'successful Varsity Or- chestra. l lllS'l' ROW limi! lu llighll: l'urk1- Hmvrli.

Some other duties include the furnishing of music for the annual commencement exercises of the night school, playing at various events during Music Week, and assisting at functions of sev- eral grade schools. The officers are: president, Harold Mitchellg vice-president, Pearl Hirtensteing student leader, Eleanore Goeringerg SeCretary-treasurer, Mildred Petrog Journal reporter, Parke Brown. Mr. Super recently announced new plans for chapel programs. He has arranged with the School Assembly Association, which in past years has supplied the school with many interest- ing entertainments, to send six speakers this year. Instead of making the usual five-cent col- lection from time to time to take care of the incurred expenses, teachers will sell tickets for ten cents. This price will cover the six lectures. Elm 1 n
