Orchestra The orchestra has varied little in the past year still suffering from the lack of numbers. The music varied from the modern to the old classi- cal. Some of the boys offered to play in the symphony orchestra after school hours. As usual, Mr. Whitehouse was on hand to give his valuable instruction to the new members. The members were: Charles Edgerly, Clarinet, Allen Friend, Piano, Saul Medoff, Clarinetg George Kelleher, Violing Walter Johnson, Bassg Robert Kral, Trum- pet, John Picard, Trumpetg Thomas Picard, Saxo- phone, Robert VVilliams, Drums. Senior Play dy Donald Jfimebzice Once again both Dorchester High Schools have upheld their dramatic tradition in their latest annual presentation of Stage Doorf by Edna Ferber. The cast was under the direction of Mrs. Ruth S. Coran who had similar success in the plays of the past three years. It was presented at the Dorchester High School for Boys Auditorium on the nights of April 28, and 29. The Cast and Mrs. Coran put in many hours of hard work after school to make this play the big success that it was. Near-capacity houses greeted the thespians on both nights. The hil- arious nature of the comedy provided good enter- tainment for the receptive audiences. Hats off to Mrs. Coran and the Cast for a job well done.
