THE JUNIOR ORCHESTRA HE instruments that compose the East High School Junior Orchestra are: thirteen first violins, ten second violins, one viola, two 'cellos, one bass, one oboe, four clarinets, four cornets, one saxophone, one trombone, two mellophones, drums and a piano. This orchestra organized in September, holds its rehearsals in the music room every Friday after school. Much time is spent in giving pupils the proper routine of orchestra playing. The director, Mr. Surdo, always willing and patient, explains all the details of bowing, phrasing, and expression and helps and cheers the girls and boys when they are discouraged. This body of young musicians goes over the more difficult passages many times, both to perfect the music for public performance and also to acquire enough proficiency to be promoted to the advanced orchestra. Every year many new members enter this organization and promotions are made from it, so that the personnel is never the same. The Junior Orchestra has not as yet made a public appearance, but is planning to do so in the near future. Last year in June, however, it played with the advanced orchestra several numbers at a public concert. . May this organization fiourish as the years go by, so that from it there will come skilled players for the advanced orchestra, of which we are so proud. HELEN SLONE, '21.

THE SENIOR QUARTET HE Senior Quartet is the smallest musical organization of the school,.and probably the least prominent. Its purpose is primarily practice in male quartet music with lots of pure enjoyment and fun thrown in. The members delight in singing folk-songs and southern plantation melodies, which everyone can enjoy. Singers who are interested are hard to find, and as a result the personnel of the quartet has varied quite appreciably during the first half of the school year. This, of course, made public performances impossible but, nevertheless, those who have remained feel fully repaid in real pleasure for their time and effort. They practiced in the big white club room on Wednesday afternoons, when Ernie Was busily engaged in criticizing the Work of the quartet as he played the accompaniment. Though the quartet has never performed in public, it has been slated for the school concert on June third and for several other engagements around the city. EDMUND REELY, '21.
