ORCHESTRA Northwestern seems destined to have an excellent orchestra every year. .l,0l'llilllS the fact that Mr. Hoy M. Miller is the leader has something to do with it. To be a lll0llllH'I' of the orchestra, one must pass rigid written tests every few weeks and a playing test every few nlonths. The orchestra. played over the radio this term and gave a very successful 1ll'0Q,'l'i1lll, which was enjoyed by all. During the year, Mr. Miller and his Melodeers may be counted on for melody at the school plays, rallys, etc. The excellent music is certainly enjoyed hy all. SENIOR BAND This year the band has been divided into two divisions! third and fourth hours. Under the capable supervision and direction of Roy M. Miller, who is also a teacher at Wayne Vniversity, the band is progressing rapidly. Every year the high standard of excellence set hy the preceding hand is reached and then some.

The enthusiasm of Miss Prudentia, Huifman incites in each girl a sincere etfort to do her best. The dancers had more opportunity than ever before to create compositions. Activity began with the dancers pai-taking in the variety show. t'Tambula.,' A per- formance was given in January at the IZA Mother and Daughter Teag May l the ,group demonstrated technique and the method of composing dances and some completed compo- sitions for the Schoolmasters' Club at Ann Arbor.

Composed of both boys and girls, the club was well repre- sented in the men's and women's individual state tournament, being unusually fortunate in possessing' a member, Byron Krieger, who set the precedent of being the iirst high school boy ever to place in the State Finals. XVith Miss Merriamls and -lane Scott's foil trophies, augmented by John Dreheris medal in saber, the Northwestern Club has taken a. total of seven medals in the yearls competition. The Club coach is fast gaining the reputation in fencing circles of turning out crack teams, which, because of the scarcity oi' high school competition, scheduled most of their meets with private schools and colleges.
