T11 Whenever you hear music or sing- ing pouring forth into the halls of Eastern, you can be sure that it is either the Music Club, Orchestra, or Special Chorus. These three musical bodies are all under the very expert supervision of Mr. See. The Orchestra is composed of the talented musicians of Easterntown. They give up many hours for prac- tice. It is they who play at gradua- tion, the assembly programs, and many other school functions. There are players for almost every type of instrument, and the combined effort is really superb. In the Special Chorus are the songbirds of Eastern Town. All the members have above average sing- ing ability and can be depended upon to make any program a suc- cess. The Special Chorus meets in room 218 with the full approval of both the teachers and students in the adjoining rooms who find the singing quite satisfactory. Following in order is the Music Club. The purpose of this club is to further the musical interests of llasternites. At their weekly meet- ings they enjoy classical and semi- classical records. The members very often arrange musical programs for their meetings. Many of the mem- bers of the club are also members of the orchestra. e sooia an Easferzfzfown S nfoafges, 7'
