Featuring an enjoyable combination of modern and classical music, the orchestra was well received at all its appearances. Beginning with a reduced membership and a new director, Dr. Beach, the orchestra witnessed a period of experimentation to find the type of music best suited to the liftyfonc piece group. Following this trial period, the orchestra prepared for the annual Christmas programs presented with the choral groups. Students were thrilled at the ringing carols and fastfmoving overtures. One of the most enjoyable events of the year was the annual orchestra picnic, to which, for the first time, the band was invited. For the rest of the year, a combination of scales, catchy music, and lessons given by Dr. Beach, to explain the line points of music, helped the orchestra to prepare for its numerous concerts. The Ardmore and the BalafCynwyd Junior High Schools, as well as Lower Merion, enjoyed the music of the orchestra. The Spring Concert climaxed an active concert season. First Row: D. May. M. L.
