THE SYVEETNESS OF THE STRINGS and the blaring of the brass combining to form a beauti- ful song means that the Senior Orchestra heralds our entrance to the assemblies. Directed by lwr. Pease, this group practices on Thursdays and Fri- days. The beauty of melody was skillfully rendered at the annual Music Festival as the songs of the masters were played. THE JUNIOR CHORUS, made up of students from the seventh and eighth grades, has rehearsed for one period after school each week. This year the group is rather small. numbering about thirty, but they believe that quality is not dependent upon quantity. In faithfulness and cooperation, this is one of the most outstanding vocal musical groups. THE HIGH SCHOOL MIXED CHORUS had difficulty getting under way this year because of the double session. When it was finally organized, it met on illondays during the fourth period. There are about one hundred boys and girls in this group. Its only appearance was at the Music Festival where its contribution to the program was out- standing. The audience at the Festival especially enjoyed the community singing which was led by the lllixed Chorus. Vvfishing to participate in the war effort as a group, the Choral Club and Mixed Chorus made a generous contribution to the United Service Or- ganization. THE BOYS GLEE CLUB has continued this year the splendid reputation handed down to them. lt has met twice a week in the band room in the Elementary School for p1'aetiee and has ap- peared in the assembly and the Music Festival.
