ORCHESTRA Although working under the handicap of 8 o'clock morning classes, the orchestra, under the direc- tion of O. P. Weigel, has had a very successful year. Among their activities this organization played for the Junior and Senior plays, Honor Society initiations, radio programs and an Oregon pageant. On December 22 they presented their annual formal concert. The greatest achievement of the year, however, was earning an I in Class B at the National Music Contest. BAND The beginning of school marked the beginning of a busy year for the La Grande High School Band. Under the capable direction of Leroy Darling, the Band participated in a wide variety of activities entertaining at football and basketball games, rallies, pep assemblies, and community programs. Though the Band lost several of its key men to the Armed Forces it carried on to the best of its ability, and will continue to do so as long as it has the fighting spirit of the L. H. S. Tigers behind it.
