Orchestra The Concert Orchestra has given many successful concerts. Many of the students who have played in the orchestras of past years are well known musicians now. There are now about eighty members in the orchestra. Two concerts were given this year, one on February 2, and one on May twenty-fifth; Bob Kaplar was the student director as well as the violin soloist at the concert; Keith Fink was the trumpet soloist. On September 9, 1944, the members of the Emerson Concert Band elected officers to leid them proving that democracy rules even in the band room. Each officer is allowed one day in the week to direct a few selections in order of his rank. On December 17, 1944, the officers planned a Christmas party for the band and 22 dozens of doughnuts and 12 gallons of chocolate milk were devoured in the six hours. The 1945 crop of officers proved to be as efficient as ever for the work their respective offices demand.
