The Chamber Music Society The Chamber Music Society began its fourth season with a fanfare, supplied by Dick Hartzell on the trumpet. There has been a great deal of interest shown in the organization this year, and with good results. The Society was able to produce a most enjoyable concert. fEnjoyable for the performers at any rate, as a reward for hard work.J An interesting interpretation of a Haydn Trio for violin, 'cello and piano was given by Newton, Hitzig, and Curtis on their re- spective instruments. The Flute and Iiute Society of Stone CDD and Kemp provided entertainment with a lilting duet. The third class quartet was one of the more dedicated groups, being well-organized. They show great potential for the next two years, and we are sure they and the Society will have great success. This year, on the whole, despite the usual difficulties such as scheduling and the lack of certain crucial instruments, was a satisfying one. This is largely a result of the expert supervision of Mrs. Freeman, who supplied us untiringly with her help and talents. Kemp and Stone Curtis, Hitzig, and Newton

Bingham Mr. Abell Once again, the Orchestra winds up an interesting, though rugged, year. With Mr. Abell at the helm, our pieces at the Christmas Concert received more praise than we usually get in a whole year. As one master put it, I was actually able to enjoy the Orchestra music this year. The major work was Bizet's L'Arlesienne,,' in which Lorraine Dyson did an excellent job as solo flute. The flutes and strings accompanied the Glee Clubs in Stozel's Weihnachtskantate. Orchestra, Glee Clubs, and hired brass choir finished up magnificently with Bach's Cantata 129. The next concert was the Festival Orchestra Concert at St. Paul's in April. After much preparation, including a dance the night before, the Orchestra performed. Parts of Haydn's Mil- itary Symphony, a concerto for strings by Vaughn Williams, a piece by Wagner, and parts of a symphony by Bruch highlighted the program. The Masses of the Easter Concerts were ac-companied by a few select members, but most of our preparation was for the Spring Concert. The first three mentioned Festival pieces were played. Also, Pavanne by Gould was presented, which, though enjoyable to play, was probably most appreciated by the 'short-hairs' in the audience. And thus we completed another season, and now pass on our high hopes to next year's group.

The Grange Nine issues before we escaped at Mid-years, we took one look at the chaotic mess in the O8zB filing cabinet and shook our heads in amazed horror. It took us a whole year, but finally, the paper is running at the highest level of efficiency possible. We only hope that Schmid, Turney, 84 Co. can do the impossible. The first issue, as has been the case since time began, was put out only with the greatest of difhculty. Many a late hour was spent at Mr. Abell's in an all out effort to present the most up-to-date news 6 only two weeks old, instead of threej. Because of an in- credible ability to rationalize, we convinced ourselves that the more disorganized and hectic a time we had in putting it out, the more like a 'real' newspaper the Orange and Blue would appear. We think we almost succeeded, for our first 'cutting and pasting' session was thrown into hopeless turmoil because the belated Yearbook pho- tographers decided they needed pictures of the old board at work. CWe think they would have had a hard time finding the old board at work anytime.J Needless to say, we slept through most of our classes We reaped the rewards of our labors that Friday when we went to the Girls' School and upped the number of subscriptions there by about IOOQE.
