The J unior Orchestra HE Junior Orchestra has had but few Opportunities, which the Senior division and other clubs have had, to display its accomplishments before the school. Still this little-thought-of organization has helped considerably in the interpretation of several numbers rendered in the June concert. Under the inspirational guidance of Mr. Surdo, many pupils who have studied music only a short time are given a splendid chance to receive some elementary orchestra training. This is of great value, whether such work is to be their vocation or not, and brings much profit and pleasure to those who are practically beginners. RUTH BROCK. 121

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
