WHITNACK The Senior Orchestra is one of the most active organizations in school as it has represented Franklin in many of the civic affairs of Long Beach. Franklin attracted the attention of Southern California Music Officials by winning so many high ratings for the soloists entered at Pasadena. Besides those outside activities there was the splendid Spring Concert in which Mrs. Whitnack so ably conducted the Senior Orchestra to higher levels of musicianship and music appreciation.

WHITNACK In the minds of those who are closely associated with the orchestras, there is a doubt whether or not the Junior Orchestra receives due credit. The reason for such a doubt is easy to see when we realize that although the Junior Orchestra makes fewer appearances than the Senior Orchestra, it affords an opportunity for the musicians to prepare themselves for Senior Orchesetra. It gives them needed experience and confidence to become efhcient in the advanced work in Senior Orchestra.
