For the past four years, the orchestra has enjoyed a steady and healthy growth. Never before have we had as many members in the orchestra: never before 'Qing' have we had so many experienced players: and never have we had such a com- plete orchestration. The orchestra is no longer a side issue at our assemblies. It is indispensable. The or- chestra has also furnished us with music during the lunch periods. The conditions under which the orchestra members have been laboring should not be forgotten. Three days a week they practice in a room, not by themselves, but with the Girls' Chorus. There is not only this competition to contend with, but also another--the poor acoustics. Some day we shall have a new building, and in it we hope will be music rooms for the glee clubs, orchestra, and band. Following are the members of the orchestra: FIRST VIOLIN: Clara Schneider, Concert Master, Esther Brown, Gladys Furness, Joseph Herman. SECOND VIOLIN: Dillard Crawford, Zola Ellis, Charlotte Funk, Anna Hearty, Les- ter Pestal, William Raduziner, Kenneth Smith, Anna Zelkovitch. VIOLIN CELLO: Gertrude Williams. FLUTE: Reginald Reese. CLARINET: Abe Kohn. FIRST CORNET: Eugene Cooper, john Svjeda. SECOND CORNET: Walter Munson. TROMBONE: Ross Groman, Mr. Alfred Tongue, Honorary Member. DRUMS: Theodore Dudley. PIANO: Helen Jacobs, Sadie Levey.
