The Boyst Glee Club EFORE a large organ, in a mansion of extreme bunny, were grouped four B young men one evening. As the organ played and the voices rang clear in rich harmony, I marveled at the joy they Were lending to others and to themselves. I knew them, for they had spent four years with 1110 in East High School, four 3' iars in its Boysl Glee Club. They led their hearers into the world of romance, through joy, happiness, youth. How well I remember some of their selections, which I had sung with them. I too, had taken advantage of the help given them by Mr. Surdo. Four years of happy work, coupled with unlirin:j effort hzul enabled them to render this social performance and to receive most hearty applause. I r ialized how beneficial my Monday afternoons had been to 1110. Many have within them this fiii't of music, which needs only the touch of a magician in notes and harmuny like Mr. Surdo to develop into something very worth while. These boys have found their lriasure, and were spending it, so as to bring happiness to others. Have you found yeurs? GEORGE P. S'l'I-IXVARD.

The Advanced Orchestra I-IIC Advanced Orchestra has been in existence four years; and, though T its program this year is more pretentious than last, it hopes to duplicate in June the success of last year. When one hears the finished rendition of a composition, he little reaiizes how much work lies hack of it. The orchestra rehearses twice a week before and after school, and, though often these rehiarsals are strenuous, the players, about thirty in number, still ustay 0n the job? Through the tireless efforts of Mr. Surdo, practice has resulted in progress for the individual workers and in increased success of the orchestra as a whole. The selections for the June concert are very difiieult, and include The Un- finished Symphnny', tSecond anementt, and ttThe Dance, of the HOlll'S,, tPonchiellU. FLORENCE LEDIEE. 120
