x GERMAN ORCHESTRA In this picture are: Kausrud, Chiaro, leader, Ekstrom, Woi- cick, Fraser, Sizoo, Biegal, Sternberg, Gabel, Peterson, Todd, Tharp, Morrill, Schmidt, Wilner, Boomker, Balabon, Fried- sam, Ellis, Sanasa, Swanson, Ver Hook. .J ,. a l ' AN ORCHESTRA The German orchestra will play only German musicv stated Miss Korten who is the faculty adviser. Originated for students who are inter- ested in German folk songs, marches, and other familiar German selections. The forming of a German orchestra was Miss Korten's splendid idea. A person need not think he has to be German to be in this orchestra for anyone who likes German music may belong. Norman Gable, the orchestra,s manager, is very busy managing the affairs of the orchestra. With his characteristic unselfish devotion to music of the school, Mr. Neil Trimble consented to direct the work of this orchestra of which William Chiaro, the city's famous trombone player, is the student director. This organization was formed this semester and hopes to have enough members next semester to continue its work in the music of Germany. We hope to hear more of this orchestra, so come out and practice. ' ADVANCED ORCHESTRA Harmonious strai-ns of music issue forth when the advanced orchestra commences to play one of Bach's, Mendelssohn's, or Beethoven's selections. An able instructor, Mr. Trimble has developed quite a number of musicians, some of whom bega-n not knowing a note. If you think that an orchestra director,s job is a snap, just drop around to room 206 and watch the proceedings. He presented members of the advanced orchestra, who served in the orchestra for two consecutive semesters without receiving credits, with harps made of chenille to wear on their sweaters. An assembly was presented on March 24, giv- ing the orchestra members practice in facing an audience in preparation for the Chicago High School Solo Contest, in which they participated. L'Arlisienne Suite by Bizet and the Magic Flutei' by Mozart were the numbers rendered at the assembly, the former of which was chosen for the contest. Before this contest selection, the orchestra played what is called a warm up number in musical terms. Hours and hours of hard work were spent practicing for the contest. In charge of all affairs we find Joe Biegel, who is the secretary of the orchestra as Well as its musical librarian. He is also in charge of the distribution and collection of all sheet music. Probably next semester some other eificient person of Fengeris population may steo into his shoes and carry on the excellent work.

PLECTRUM CLUB Plectrum! What does that mean? some may ask. Well, it is the pick that the students use to strum such instruments as a guitar or ukulele. The bass violin, banjo, and instruments of this sort are the type used. This organization of talented artists as mem- bers, were under the supervision of a student, namely, Bert McNally. Bert is a fellow who is liked by all for his wonderful personality as well as efficiency. For speed in playing a fast selection Ted Koziocas and Bert McNally fulfill the qualifi- cations, for their fingers fairly fly over the frets. Only this semester was this organization formed, of students who wished to belong to an orchestra of a different type. With fifteen mem- bers, the club came through with flying colors and hope to gain more popularity next semester. PLECTRUM CLUB In this picture are: Starego, Goranson, Loughborough, Mad- sen, Nebersiek, Toth, Vallenari, Lionberg, Dorisemrick, Adams, Lenzen, Chambers, McNally, Lofstrand, Fauser, Bohr, Zerebniak. Director--Mr. Trimble. IUNIOR ORCHESTRA Good students, good music, and a good instruc- tor! No wonder the junior orchestra has ad- vanced so rapidly. The orchestra members are the kind of people who want to get ahead, there- fore they accomplish much in the limited time they have of one period a day for practice. Along with a few others, Ray Morrison, who plays in this orchestra, has developed his knowl- edge of music to where he participated in the contest as a member of the advanced orchestra. JUNIOR ORCHESTRA T011 Rour-Balabon,I.oughborough, Lionberg, Lenzen, Cham- bers, Toth, McNally, Janecek, Gilden, McDuffey. Middle Row-Morrison, Pervenecki, Horvath, Wildman, De Haan, Ability acquired in the orchestra helps to while away leisure hours, it also aids financially, if one joins an orchestra outside of school. Musical knowledge comes in handy in various ways other than those of pleasure or profession, since, when you're musical, you're popular. There is nothing more to say about these mem- bers except that they are a fine bunch of students in personality and efficiency.
