CLARK HE Senior Orchestra under the direction of Mr. Clark enjoyed a year of delightful and melodious toil. They played selections from the Works of several of the most famed composers all through the year. The balance in instrumentation has become much better this year because many students have begun playing such instruments as those which are not popular but are necessary to a well-balanced orchestra. tune. As the year progressed the players found themselves playing more and more in tune because of Mr. Clark's insistence on playing true tones. This in itself was an achievement of which our orchestra can be proud. Any person who came into the auditorium during the first period on Mon- day, or Wednesday, or Friday heard Central's Senior Orchestra. If he came in at the beginning of the period. he would have heard and seen strange things: but, of course, every orchestra must tune up. During the year the orchestra played for commencement exercises, one assembly, Parent-Teachers' Association meetings, and school plays. The mem- bers and Mr. Clark were commended many times upon their splendid playing. Central has grown more appreciative of its excellent orchestra, and this year the orchestra with Mr. Clark's able direction has proved itself Worthy of our school's appreciation. -JoHN KEMPH eight y-eight
