The Orchestra The Orchestra has again increased in size. This year the balance of instru- ments was even better. In the Christmas Concert with the combined Glee Clubs, the Orchestra, in spite of the minimum number of rehearsals, performed re- markably well. As one master was heard to remark. I actually enjoyed listening to the Orchestra this year. The spring was highlighted by two events, the Festival Orchestra Concert and the Concert given in the Library by the Orchestra. The Festival Orchestra, with eleven schools participating, was conducted by Nathan Gottschalk. The first movement of Beethoven's Piano Con- certo No. 1 was the greatest success. Karen Brant from Dana Hall was the soloist. Corelli's Concerto Grosso No. 3 was also played well. Jim Freeman, Mrs. Freeman, and Katy Day were soloists in the Spring Concert given in the Library. Mrs. Freeman and jim were accompanied by the Orchestra in Karl Ditter's von Dittersdorf Concerto for Double Bass and Viola. After a very good modern composition by Quincy Porter, the concert ended with Bach's Brandenburg Concerto'No. 4. We wish the best future to Mr. Van Slyck whose departure this year leaves a long memory of the kind spirit he has had for us all.

rf---. f . 'wfmrf - Y - ,, Em, With the next issue came our first correct headline on the galleys and the initial effort of the Kinni- cutt-Lehman team that contributed humor columns for all issues but the first one. The second page was also graced by the last-minute cartoons of Dave Ames in all issues but one, in which the gap was filled by Cokey O'Connor. The Board managed to fill up the rest of the page with Spot- lights, occasional letters, and several assists from our unofficial Associate Editors, Steve Jones and Mike Chace. The front page survived several arid land hectic for News Editor Butlerh periods during which im- portant stories were few and far between. Harry Holcomb was by far its most consistent writer with a story in every issue, with Tim Clark running a close second. Spencer Borden's sports page endured the same dearth of material malady as the first one between seasons, but was tided over by editorials from him and Assistant Editor Bancroft. The major change in the sports write-ups this year was the introduction of signed articles to allow editorialization in game de- scriptions. Toward the end of our management, we found our- selves growing somewhat cocky about our ability to get the paper out without much confidence gained strength only pletely extinguished by the last indulged in a scramble almost as first. Generally, however, the year was one without vast upheaval in any major category. It was rather a con- servative one of adherence to ideas proved by former Boards with occasional additions and, we hope, im- provements. trouble.
