Orchestra In addition to playing for various school functions and of acquiring instrumental pro- ficiency on the various stringed-instruments. the orchestra members during the past year have done some very excellent work in theory and composition. Some of the selections com- posed and arranged have shown a wealth of talent present in this musical organization. Dance Band With a renewed interest in school dances this year, the dance band, or informally the Rhythm Rascals , has grown into a popular means of creating clean social life in our school. With the inspiration added by new equipment. the latest popular melodies. and a strong in- terest shown by the student body. the dance band memlsers have developed into another school organization of lwhich Grand Ledge High School is proud.
