ORCHESTRA Front Row: Charlotte Terbush, Mary Smith, Marielle Bridges, Miss Johnson, Ruth Eberhardt, William Cramer Second Row: Jack Hillier, Edward Fritz, Sidney Duddy, William Vallier, Charles Westrick, Bert Hillier Our orchestra, though small, is a definite functioning unit of the High School and plays several times throughout the year. Members of the brass section made up a German Band on the spur of the moment for the big Homecoming Pep Meeting in the fall, and they didn t sound half bad! Also, at the Christmas Concert given by the Music Department for the Tuesday Musicale, December 18, the orchestra played carols as an instrument- al prelude to the choral part of the program. The main feature of the orchestral year is the Orchestra Festival in which eight schools of the county take part. This year Yale was host to the visiting orchestras with Leo Lerake of Wayne University as guest conductor. Bert Hillier represented Marine City by playing a special selection for the program, Elegie , by Alec Templeton. May 22 marked the final appearance of the orchestra when it participated in the annual Spring Concert, sharing the program with the High School Mixed Chorus. Some of the numbers the orchestra has worked on are Bouree , Bach, Moment Musical , Schubert, Hungarian Dance Number 5 , Brahms, Huldi- gungsmarch , Grieg. 29

They have taken a very active part In the activities of the school. When Christinas time rolled around, the girls offered their help to the various clubs in the city. They combined with the Senior Hi-Y Boys in sponsoring a dance, the proceeds of which were given to the Business Women and the Old Newsboys. During the holiday season the girls sang carols in many parts of the city. The Boys Hi— Y and the Girl Reserves turned to a more serious side when the Lenten season approached by sponsoring the weekly Lenten services In the school. Besides giving dances, the Girl Reserves enjoyed a hayride, a skating party, and a pot luck supper with the Senior Hi-Y. The girls also went up to the Y.M.C.A. swimming pool for a winter’s swim. The Girl Reserves are planning other interesting functions for the remainder of the school year. 30
