Dramatics ‘'TAKE MY ADVICE”, the 1930-31 annual competitive play, was an un- precedented success. Many entered the tryouts held on Oct. 12 and the Students who were selected represented the best talent in the school.

Tilt On lit lr« 'THE Orchestra of the Manti High School has always been outstand- A ing. The musical talent developed has won high recognition, and the school has always been noted for its musical accomplishments. The Orchestra of thirty members handle their instruments well. Some students have belonged to the organization for four years. The group have contributed to assembly programs, church and com munity activities and have played for the High School operas. Each year’s concert is given by the group. We are proud of the fact that a Sousaphone has been added to the bass section this year. The instrumentation is at present closer to a well balanced orchestra than we have had for some time. We hope to use a cello another year. Selections of a difficult type have been studied and presented to the public, including overtures, marches, waltzes, etc. We hope that the orchestra of future years may continue to grow and uphold the reputation which is now ours.
