THE BAND The Hand, which we believe to be the most popular musical organization, has a large fol- lowing by the student body. This, no doubt, is due to the fact that it appeals to music lovers because of its bouvant, catching refrains, brought into effect by the ever popular brass instruments. In 1922 through the untiring efforts of Mr. Layton, our former principal, the Hand was organized, but had only a few members. Then Mr. Schlabaugh took up the work and with keen zest hunted out the cream of all the musical talent. He soon had forty members enrolled in the Hand. He so enthused every- one with the progress of the Hand that, in 1925, money, which amounted to well over a thousand dollars, was appropriated for uni- forms for the hoys; money was also appropri- ated for added instruments, which expendi- ture also totaled over a thousand dollars. Mr. Schlabaugh left us in the fall of 1926 and Mr. Cruikshank has taken his place. 'file Hand is met with favor at all functions and with this status we sincerely hope it will expand in name and firmness in the years to come with the good name of CUYAHOGA FALLS HIGH SCHOOL.

THE ORCHESTRA Mr. Layton organized the Orchestra in 1920, and from a personnel of a few, this or- ganization has increased until at the present time there are about thirty members. Their first appearance was at the Trolley League Oratorical Contest in April, 1921. 1 he Orchestra, like the band! has appeared in semi-annual concerts. During last winter the Orchestra, assisted by the other three mu- sical organizations, gave free Sunday afternoon concerts, which were much appreciated by the community. It has been quite an advantage to the pupils who have belonged to this organization, be- cause it has given them inestimable experience and instruction. After two years of service each member is presented with a pin, showing the school’s appreciation for their efforts. The Boys’ Glee Club and the Orchestra were enjoyed by an audience at the Springfield Sanitarium last year. 1'his musical organization, at the present time under the leadership of Mr. Cruikshank, should be supported and encouraged by every- one.
