THE ORCHESTRA The school orchestra has increased noticeably under the leadership of Mr. Ward. In the fall it had twenty members, but thirty played at com- mencement. It played at the Niagara Frontier Music Meet and during Music Week. Every week it plays for the school assembly. Q The orchestra is very fortunate in having full instrumentation with the exception of the oboe and bassoon. Conducting the practice on school time has been a great advantage. ' .
