THE TROJAN ZL ORCHESTRA Instrumental Music has been recognized by the Administration of our schools as a subject worthy of an important place in the educational scheme. Its development has taken place in the past few years. The Instrumental branch of the Music Department is fitted to serve the needs and desires of a large number of students. Many of the more expensive instruments have been purchased by the School and students are permitted to use them. The Orchestra assisted at the Annual Concert April 19 as well as the Christmas program and the Junior Play. The instrumental classes in which instruction is given free of charge have a combined membership of twenty. These people will prove very valuable in future years when the present High School people have graduated.

We began Junior Journalism lor the first time in 1938. So many scholars wished to join the Journalism Club that it was divided into two groups, Senior and Junior. The Junior division is composed mainly of Freshmen and Sophomores who are interested in writing, although we have a few upper class members who have had no previous training in Journalism. Our Club members will be eligible to be chosen for the Senior Journalism staff next year if their work comes up to its high standard. In this sense, the Junior Journalism Club serves as an apprenticeship organization. Our main task is writing the weekly news for the Index. Meetings are held every Monday and Tuesday. On Monday we hand in our write-ups; on Tuesday our next week s work is assigned to us. Every person has a write-up at least every other week. The money with which we purchased a page in this annual was obtained by selling refreshments at a basket ball game in January.
