Need of an organization wherein students with ability in in- strumental music could express themselves in organized effort has been felt in the past, and the college took steps this year to reach this end in securing the services of Leland M. Gobel, a junior, to direct an orchestra. Mr. Gobel was last year assistant director of the University Band at the University of Nebraska, and is a cornetist of considerable experience and great ability. The Orchestra has made a number of public appearances this year, always being well received. It has appeared at the Majestic theatre, on several occasions at the Baptist church, at the Salem church, at the tri- state convention of the Women's Missionary Society, and at the bacca- laureate services and commencement exercises of the college, in addition to several appearances in chapel. On April 9th the Orchestra broadcasted a program, in conjunction with the Glee Club from Radio Station KMMJ, at Clay Center. The work of the Orchestra in its first year has been very pleasing, and it is hoped the organization may continue to function in the college.

Soon after the or- ganization of the club last fall, the quartette was chosen, as follows: Tenor, Arnold Johanson, soprano, Evelyn Lindburgg contralto, Pearl Hileg bass, James Simpson. Their first appearance was before the Nebraska Baptist convention held in Lincoln the early part of October. The quartette then returned home to sing, three nights in succession, before large social gath- erings in the city. The cho1'us work this year included both sacred and secular numbers. The club has sung in various churches of the city and in the junior high schools. On the evening of April 9, the club broadcasted from Station KMMJ at Clay Center, and on May 2 sang at Aurora. Trips will be made to Polk and Stromsburg. Lorna Davis has accompanied the club as a violin soloist.
