Z I -f Crchestra Enhances School Life From the beating of ancient toms toms and the savage splendor of rituals to the civif lized world, Redskins at all times attain for themselves new heights in music. The music department of the Big Tepee offers many helds in which students may participate. Many Redskins, whose love and appreciation of beauty in music and culture have led them to take an active part in North Side's orchestra, have helped the organization to grow and better itself. Under the capable direction of Robert Shambaugh, the group performed fine musical selections at concerts and student assemblies. They added to their classical selections by performing several enjoyable pop concert arrangements. This year the orchestra has the largest number of string instruments in nine years. lts programs began with the dedication of the new Abbett Grade School in November and the Fall Concert the following week. A School of the Air recording was made by the fast progressing group and they also played at the school Christmas concert. At left, Robert Shambaugh is shown in a position familiar to all orchestra and band members. To the right. interested students receive instruction on a special musical instrument, the organ.
