ORCHESTRA The orchestra is organized into sections-strings, brass and wood Wind, and percussion. The orchestra brings the school in the auditorium and sends them out by playing beautiful Aloha, which means Farewell to Thee. Sometimes they send the school out to a snappy march. The orchestra members are being trained to lead as well as play, and they are doing great work. The greatest number which the orchestra played is the Christ- mas number. It was studied for the A9 play. During this beautiful play, which was full of Christmas spirit, the orchestra oiferecl the number Around the Christmas Tree or A Yuletide Potpourri. F The word Potpourri means a mixture, like flower petals, such as roses, mixed with -spices, etc., to scent a room. In music it means a production composed of parts brought together without connection. The nrst part of the number was called From Heaven I XVas Sent to Earth. ln this part you can hear the ringing of the Christmas bells. The next was the part called HO Come Little Children. Then Mary Harvey, the cornet soloist, came on the stage, accompanied at the piano by Beatrice Krantman. They played the f'Cantique de Noel, a Christmas chant. There fol- lowed O Faithful Pine, a song about a Christmas treej Praise the Lord g the Sacred N ight, Holy Night g and Adeste Fidelesf' which is a Latin name. It is a very magnificent song. Afterward was a dance, Tomorrow VVill Be Christmas, then O Sanctissimaf' and The Clock Strikes Twelve. The 'next part was a New Year song called The Passing of the Qld Year. In the finale, the Sleigh Ride-Returns Home part, we heard Tillie Karish, our violin soloist. -Hfill-iam Got.
