I have decided to give him three ships and all the prisoners who dare to follow him.

THE HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA This year the orchestra is composed of three violins: Mabelle Stocker, Cornell Starr, and : Virginia Basom; five second trumpets: Dicky Grugel, Charles Starr, Merle Law, Stanley Barth and Keith Leach; two first trumpets: Howard Barth and Max Johnson; three clarinets: Merle Starr, Junior Musser and Glen Yost; one trombone: Donald Musser; three drums: Bob Ashley, Ben Rising and Dick Bounds; two piano players; Ruth Jenne and Arlene Rindfleisch; and the director, Mr. Graff. The trumpet section over-balances the violin section to a great extent. The seven trumpets have to listen very carefully in order to hear the violins. | Many schools have larger and much better or- chestras, but the spirit of the orchestra at Litehfield can't be beat; everyone in it tries his best, and after all that!s what counts.
