ORCH ESTRA Small but mighty is a description of our ad- mirable orchestra. Under the direction of Mr. Marlin Morette, the orchestra provides fine music for the enjoyment of all. The outstanding appearances of the orches- tra this year were for the school play, com- mencement exercises and class night. The orchestra presents a splendid opportun- ity for those students who wish to develop their technique and appreciation for classical music. BAND Lending inspiration at the football games, assemblies, and various gatherings is the East High band, a group of hard-working musicians. The one who spurs them on is Mr. Marlin Morette, the likeable director, who is new with the band this semester. We heartily extend our thanks to you for the wonderful way you have contributed toward the spirit of East High. We, the students, are proud of you.

A CAPPELLA CHOIR The A Cappella choir, under the direction of Miss Sigrid Greenhill, is the most advanced and active vocal music organization of East High. As in past years, the choir has been in de- mand for assemblies and special programs. The outstanding program given by the choir this semester was the Christmas Nativity. Other appearances were before the East Des Moines club and the Rotary club. Also a re- cording was made by the choir which was later transcribed over KRNT. BOYS' QUARTET David Ward, Ivan Brown, Stanley McClintock, Eddie Norem SPECIAL GROUPS With only one former member the girls' sextet had the task ot learning to blend well together. They have appeared on the Nativity program and before the city P.T.A. The boys' quartet this semester has two ot its old members back. Their prominent pro- grams were tor the state P.T.A. convention and the students ot North High, besides the many times they have sung for programs here. We thank both of these groups for their splendid singing. ' GIRLS' SEXTET Barbara Mullin, JoAnn Hartle, Marilyn Patterson, Vera Gleason Shirley Mason, Shirley Mendenhall
