The George Wythe Orchestra proves that practice makes perfect, and that teamwork is a must to produce good music perfect in sound and rhythm. New Addition Is Eighth Grade Concert Band “Flutes, you’re not on pitch. There is too much per- cussion and not enough violin. Let’s do it again.” Such instructions from Mr. Aleo Sica are familiar to orches- tra students. All is not practice, there’s also the enjoy- ment of performing for others. The orchestra gave their first concert this year at Christmas. The Spring Concert offers another oppor- tunity for performing, and for obtaining funds for materials.

Although these are very important factors in a home- maker’s life, probably the most important is being able to get along on the amount of money available. Plan- ning one’s home, choosing furniture, interior decora- tions, clothing and planning meals to fit one’s budget is almost a full time job. These and other courses offered in the Home Economics Department assure the domestically-inclined girls of a successful journey into a homemaker’s world. Ann Lewis demonstrates one of the home economics projects done by the students while Carolyn Williams looks on with interest. Administration and Departments 31
