Economy Orchestra THE first time the Orchestra played in pubHc was in 1916, when the Young People ' s Department gave the play, Church Bazaar at Mulberry ' s Corner. There were five members — piano, Carol Weldy ; violins, Harry Parker, Carrie Cranor ; cornets, Willard Jordan, and Ralph Kennedy. The first pieces learned and used that night were Melody in F and Love ' s Old Sweet Song. Soon the members began to increase in number, then followed playing for Sunday School, Church and Epworth League meeting at Modoc, and a patriotic meeting at Williamsburg. In the fall of 1917 we were organized with the fol- lowing officers : President, Mary Ballenger : Treasurer, Kenneth Cain ; Secretary, Carrie Cranor. In the school year of 1917-1918, High School credit was given for Orchestra work. During the latter part of the year. Professor C. L. Walger was Director. We played for the Commencement in 1918 with Mary Ballenger presiding as Director. In July, 1918, with fifteen members, we engaged IMr. E. W. Garrett as Di- rector, adopted the Constitution and By-Lav ' s for an Orchestra, and organized under the name of Economy Orchestra with officers who are still in office : President — ] I. rv Pi.xllenger J ' ice-Prcsidcut — Willard Jordan, 19 Treasurer — Kenneth Cain, ' 19 Scerctary — Carrie Cranor, ' 19 Librarian — Juanita Atkinson, ' 19 Board of Control — Mary Weldy, Juanita Atkinson Members Piano — Rena Manning Violins — Kenneth Cain, Carrie Cranor, Margaret Loop, Ruth Weldy, Ruth Jackson,, Mary B. llenger Cello — Carol Weldy Cornets — Willard Jord. n, R. lpii Kennedy, Mary Weldy.

There were also many articles knitted and sent through our branch, including four sweaters, five helmets, seventeen pairs sox, thirty-six wash cloths, nine medicine covers and thirty afghan blocks.
