ORCHESTRA For the first time in many years, a school orchestra was reorganized in 1938 under the direction of the head of the music department, Mr. Pearson. This year many new members and instrument were added to the much improved orchestra. The regular participation of this uroup at the chapel sonic services proved a definite inspiration to the remaining student body and faculty members.

It is an educational and academic group, rather than a social one. It may be simply expressed as a music appreciation, form, and analysis class. At the regular Monday meetings, such instructive topics as the comparison of different types of music, the ensemble, ducts, etc., are discussed. Fourth row: E Gordonior. Ruth Bros, Connno Borg. K.
