Advanced Qrchestra The Advanced Orchestra of the Fortuna Union High School is an or- ganization of which the Student Body and city of Fortuna may well be proud. This group is composed of about thirty experienced players who have practiced many months under the leadership of their instructor, Miss Dor- othy Dale. Most of this time has been spent on the classics, including works of Beethoven, Schubert, Tchaikowsky, and Brahms. Whenever programs have been given, they have brought forth much praise and fa- vorable comment. During the year, the orchestra has furnished music for the school plays, the Poultry Show, the Redwood Caravan Luncheon, the Commence- ment Program, the Baccalaureate Service and other functions including the Operetta, Nautical Knot, the Music-Drama Festival held at Eureka and the Music Festival at the Humboldt State Teachers College in Arcata. An appreciation of the honor of participating in the Advanced Orches- tra is to be shown, for the first time, by the awarding of a music letter F to those who have been members for two years and a star for each ad- ditional year.

School Band Students of the Fortuna Union High School have heard the uncanny shrieks, blasts, and bangs coming from the auditorium and have, no doubt, wondered who or what was being tortured. At least the members of the Art and Physics departments have survived the tortues. Let us explain. This year a band was organized in the school, and despite the fact that most of the members are beginners on their respective instruments, the band, which is composed of boys only, has made a great deal of pro- gress. After several months of practice under the leadership of Miss Dorothy Dale, it has reached a place where it can make a creditable ap- pearance in public. The band's debut was made at the Ferndale vs. Fortuna basketball game. It also played during the Eureka vs. Fortuna basketball game on the home court and it has also played for the student body on several oc- casions. Since many are taking advantage of the opportunity to receive instruction on the various instruments, we expect this organization to make rapid strides in the future. Page Ninety
