MEMOIRS U. S. Grant Page 24 Our Orchestra GRANT is exceedingly fortunate in having for its orchestra leader Mr. Robert E. Millard. Mr. Millard is a member of the well-known Portland Symphony Orchestra and also plays a flute in the orchestra of the Rivoli Theater. Mr. Millard has appointed Tom Frewen as assistant instructor. At the open house on Friday, November 21, the orchestra played three selections which showed what it had accomplished in such a short time. So far, “Selections From Carmen” is the orchestra’s masterpiece.

U. S. Grant MEMOIRS Page 23 Glee Club THE Grant High Glee Club made its first public appearance on Open House night, where it sang several numbers. The club is composed of about eighty students; and the quality of the voices, says Mr. E. Maldwyn Evans, the musical director, is exceedingly fine. The girls have been learning several lovely songs, among which are, “Killarney,” “The Cuckoo,” “The Moon and the Children,” and “The Mill Wheel.” This club meets every Tuesday and Friday, the boys in the Study Period, the girls in the Third. Students may derive great benefit from the excellent training given, as well as gain one credit each year. New talent is always desired, so as many as possible are requested to sign up next term and help make the Grant High School Glee Club a body of which to be proud. Anne Bricknki.i,.

U. S. Grant MEMOIRS Page 25 U.S. Grant Radio Club ' I ’HE RADIO CLUB, more familiarly known as the “Dial Twist-ers,” has the distinction of being the first club organized in the U. S. Grant High. At the first meeting, Mr. Horning was chosen faculty advisor. The present officers are: Nolan Holt, president; Le Roy Scott, vice-president; Gordon Grant, secretary; Reid Geer, treasurer ; Roger Chown, sergeant-at-arms. The constitution states that the membership shall not exceed forty, and that those wishing membership must submit their names to the secretary. The membership of the organization is now about twenty-five. On several occasions, powerful receiving sets have been installed, and distant stations received. On Open House night, November 21, 1924, an exhibit of nearly a dozen receiving sets was given in the radio room. A super-neutrodyne was installed, and a large number of visitors were entertained with music broadcasted from Radio K. L. X., The Tribune, Oakland, California. The ambition of the “Dial Twisters” is to assist those who wish to build receiving sets; to prepare members for amateur licenses; and to purchase a transmitting set for the benefit of local listeners. —Cecil Samuel, Secretary.
