Oh, there's the bell! . . . and that's a period of orchestra rehearsal! HE senior orchestra, which was founded twenty-three years ago. did not become an important activity until its rehearsals became a part of the school curriculum. Since then it has rapidly risen in importance. The orchestra is made up of about forty of the more advanced instrumentalists of Central High school. This organization meets three periods a week, and through the efficient leadership of Mr. Mark Evans, has shown a marked gain in proficiency during the past year. The Eisteddfod, the most important activity participated in during the orchestral year, was held at Marion on March twenty-fourth. There Central's musicians competed with those from Bluffton, Findlay, and Fostoria. The orchestras number for competition was A Life for the Czar , by Cilinka, a modern composition just recentlv released from the press. Central was also represented in the instrumental Eisteddfod by two smaller groups, the string and brass ensembles, and by the band. The string ensemble. played Ulntermezzo Sinfonicef' by Petri Mascagni. and carried off first honors. The brass ensemble played Alice, Vvfhere Art Thou? by Lake. This took third place, as did the band. The orchestra has also provided entertainment at plays, at senior and junior assemblies, and at outside functions. -ELIZABETH BAXTER om hundred ILUO

Can't you hear that's about a half step off? . . . Savaphones, we'rc playing classical music. not jazz . . . Now you people listen to these tryouts and give an honest-to-goodness decision as to who deserves what place. lt's almost time for the bell and there's no time to waste . . . There! Tryouts over for another week! HE junior orchestra, which has a membership of about thirty musicians is one of the newer organizations of Central. and may be called a bee ginners' orchestra due to the fact that it consists of the younger and less experienced musicians of the school. lts purpose is to give the students a chance to display their talents, to develop their ability to play and read music. to gain a keen sense of rhythm and pitch. and to learn to appreciate the liner and more complicated types of music. The students are also taught the fundamentals of the arrangement and instrumentation of the modern orchestra. and are trained to play the instruments which are most needed in the senior orchestra. All these things prove of great value if the young musicians continue their interest in such a line of work. for when they have made noticeable progress they are placed in the senior orchestra. This organization. which is not permitted to enter the Eisteddfod. is very seldom heard in public performances. the orchestras purpose not being to prepare for and make public appearances. but to prepare its members for a higher group of instrumentalists which are better trained for outside activities. As has been the custom in previous years. its only appearance this year was at the presentation of the junior high play. 7El.IZAl3l5'l'll PJ.-XX'l'lfR one humirt cf Ibn L
