A ORCHESTRA A visit to 224, the orchestra room, finds exciting re- hearsals going on at all times under Mr. Berg's capable direction. Perhaps the A and B orchestra is busily re- hearsing for a coming concert: or the ensemble club is preparing to play at one of it's many appearances, or maybe they are planning an exchange program with another high school, or practising for the anxiously awaited Music Festival. Friday, the lst of December, was the date of the first highlight in the orchestra's busy year. lt was a concert held at East, with both orchestras, the seventh, and the ninth ensembles all participating. Etta Gillelland, accom- panied by her sister, played a cello solo and a novelty number, The Cat and the Fiddle narrated by Tom John- son were the highlights of the program. Another concert was held on April 29, which featured Mary Wilson at the harp, Lynette Olson, who sang a solo, and Elizabeth Alspach, a cellist. There was a wide variety of music ranging from Haydn to Tschaikawsky. The Music Festival, held every May in the Armory, is an annual program sponsored by the Minnesota High School Music League in which all Duluth Senior and Junior High Schools participate. East's orchestra always does a good iob and this year did exceptionally well. All in all, the orchestras have had an unusually busy year with a lot of fun and experience too.

ENSEMBLE CLUB The Ensemble Club of East has achieved city-wide fame this year through thirty-two outstanding entertain- ment performances for leading civic organizations. These included performances for the Community Fund Drive, church suppers, school assemblies, plays and programs, as well as the school operetta and the May Music Festival, where the Ensemble excelled in competition. At these performances, the string group presented light classical and musical comedy selections, many of which are favorites with music lovers. Under the splendid guidance of Mr. Clifford Berg, orchestra director, this string ensemble has progressed rapidly, receiving recognition for advanced musical ability and artistic performance as an entertainment group. Although only seven years old, the number of requests for the Ensemble Club's musical presentations gives evi- dence of its popularity. There are twenty-one members in the group this year, all of them being selected from the string section of the orchestra. The president is Margery Kimball, and the secretary-treasurer, Leilla Lonn. Ensemble: President, Mariorie Kimball, Secretary-Treasurer, Leilla Lonn, Advisor, Mr. Berge. I7
