IFILDNZMLIIANS I The Flonzalians is a selected group made up of nine music students. This orchestra was organized to represent the Monroe High School Orchestra at ban- quets, dinners and entertainments where it was impossible to accommodate a large orchestra. The orchestra has had a most successful year. They played for many occasions, including the Thomas Jeflierson Banquet, Women's Relief Corps, Exchange Club, Football Bust, Boy Scout Council, State Meeting of Grade Supervisors, Assembly of Girls' League, School Board Banquet, the Frolic and the Musical Festival. The instruments and players represented in their organization are: Organ, Harriet Ankenbrandt and Loma Sandrock: Piano, Melva Buyea: Violins, Delaise Philippart and Vincent Swiderskip Clarinet, Helen Zabel: Flute, Robert Cantrick: Marimba, Kenneth Philippart: Vibra-Harp-Drums, Rita Fhilippart, They were rewarded for their efforts by the Exchange Club, who presented each player with red or white berets, and by the school with saches and banners, enabling the ensemble to make a fine appearance. An outstanding feature of this musical group is their beautiful handling of tone and expression, and their ability to play publicly Without their director, Mr. Shipman. The Flonzalians will lose Helen Zabel, their solo clarinetist, who graduates this year and who has helped make this group a success. 56
