THE ADVANCED ORCHESTRA From harmony, from heavenly harmony This universal frame began. , N SEPTEMBER 19, 1920, the members of the East High School Advanced Orchestra, numbering almost forty, met for their first rehearsal in the music room. Since then they have worked assiduously after school every Tuesday, practicing and perfecting their repertoire. Many discords have been heard and mistakes made, but harmony has always been promptly restored. The instruments in this organization are: five first violins, eight second violins, two violas, one 'cello, two basses, two flutes, four clarinets, four cornets, two trombones, two French horns, percussion instruments, and a piano. The director, Mr. Surdo, has always impressed upon his young musicians that there is a time for work and a time for play. He helps them to understand and feel the beauty of music. A great deal of talent has been discovered among the members, who have been so well trained that they are beginning to play with feeling and expression. Traumerei, Tannhauser, Poet and Peas- ant, Amorita, and Schubert's Serenade, are some of the selections which have proved their skill. In time, this experience and training should make them better men and women. Mr. Surdo and the members of the orchestra have always been ready to supply good music for school and other programs. Several times the orchestra has played for the school assemblies and also has accompanied the Euterpean Club. It has added to its lauils by playing for a number of Community Center entertainments. Some of the members have assisted in churches also. In October, a children's chorus singing the Lincoln Ode was accompanied by the stringed instruments of our orchestra at Music Hall. The whole orchestra also gave a concert of unusual merit for the Southwestern Ohio Teachers' Association at Emery Auditorium. May this organization ever be a credit and an honor to our beloved East High School, and through the efforts of its members add more beauty and harmony to the every-day life of our city.
