As there were not enough College students to round out the orchestra a few pieces were borrowed from the High School. For this assistance the Col- lege was very grateful. The orchestra furnished the incidetal mus- ic for the plays which the Junior College Players staged. It also appeared on the Teacher's program of lVIusic Week and played for Homecoming Day. All creditafor the success of the orchestra venture goes to the director, Professor Riley. The string choir, of which the violin quartet formed the basis was one of the big hits on the Junior College and High School program of Nlusic Week. The following members composed the choir: First violin, Turney Gibson and Nlilan lVIahale, second ,vio- lin, Robert Young and Leonard Shopmaker, third violin, l-lenry Schneikart and Wilma Sappington, fourth violin, Robert Cowden, Guy Ricker and Gladys Caprong viola, Jesse Green and Helen Youmansg cello, Catherine Wellemeyer and lVlrs.

A violin quartet is a Very unusual organization and one in which the high standard ot musicianship of the players is maintainei. Literature of compositions For it is Very limited, but those that do exist are very beautiful and our quartet showed them to their hest advantage. Besides appearing on a large number of smaller sacred and secular programs, the quartet provided part of the pre- liminary of the Civic Choral ClulJ's lVlay Queen concert. It was the smallest organization to appear on any Nlusic Week program, and, together with the Girl's Trio and Schoolmen's Chorus, played over VV. D. A. F. , the Kansas City Star's broadcasting station. 41 ' A A I A A A A ,Y Y. ... A. . W f ,.,e.,,. v. f - .2-,ua-.1.f,.efa-.1..:,e1.H,.5zeaf:z5.' y,5.,,g.:g4j 35: .55 we
