HPHE L-ANTERN 99 C9rcl1eszm The Orchestra is an organization that has had a very small beginning but has nevertheless succeeded in blossoming into something worth while From a group of twelve musicians who called themselves the Orchestra just two years ago and who played only in our own assembly hall, we now can boast of an orchestra of almost 40 members that has appeared at the Uptown Theatre and at Orchestra Hall. The Orchestra has become indispensable and furnishes the music at all school assemblies, entertainments and commencement exercises, always meet- ing with the approval of the audience. This semester is played for the operetta El Bandido which was given by the Choral Club. Besides helping out in performances at school, the Orchestra has succeeded in bringing a trophy to Hibbard. This is in the form of a banner which means that Hibbard won third place last year in Group B in the contest of High School Orchestras of Chicago and Cook County. The contest in which Hibbard took partand won this banner was held in Orchestra Hall after many preliminary contests had taken place at various schools. The Orchestra entered the contest again this year and was awarded second place. Much credit is due Mr, Staater for the great things the Orchestra has done and expects to do, for he is a most conscientious and capable conductor.

Under the able guidance of Mr. Staater, many good singers have been turned out. This semester, for the first time since Mr. Staater took charge less than a year ago, the Choral Club gave the operetta, El Bandido . Mr. Staater took charge of all the musical numbers and did the general directing with the help of Miss Morse and Mrs. Layland. After the operetta this semester, the Club intends to give an entertainment of some sort once during each year. The Choral Club has a membership of more than 60, showing an increase since last semester, and meets the 8th and 9th periods. Even though a great deal of hard work is done between 12:45 and 2:15, the choristers consider it a great pleasure to come to room 301 during the Sth and 9th periods.

The faculty advis- ers are Miss Moynihan, editorial adviser, Mr. Schulz, business adviser and Mr. XN'hittlesey, printing adviser. Members of the staff are chosen by Miss Moynihan from among those who have shown ability in the study of journalism or have had contributions to the paper accepted for publication. The editorial staff consists of Editor-in-chief Robert Erdmann, Calvin I-limelsteing assistant editorg Bernard Harris, News Editor, and Elizabeth Golo- sinec, Literary Editor. All the work is done by the student members except the linotyping, which is done by a printing concern. The press work, the setting up of headlines and the make-up of pages is done entirely by the students of printing in our own print shop. The Weekly was at tirst a four-page paper, containing news. The feature stories were in The Herald, which is now known as the supplement. The Weekly grew and became tirst a six page paper and later the eight-page one as we know it now, and a literary supplement issued periodically throughout the semester.
