C H O R U S The chorus group, under the direction of Mrs. Elsie Paulsen, consists of thirty-six boys and girls. The operetta Hansel and Greteln was given by the chorus group for the Christmas program. The group under the guidance of Mrs. Paul- sen is held daily for those who have an interest in music but who do not take the course in music appreciation. The Music Department purchased a new rec- ord player which was bought from the proceeds of last years operettas. The chorus group went to see the operetta The Merry Widow.

A TRIPLE TO CENTER The orchestra added another member to its family this year. The director, Mrs. Paulsen, not only conducts a first orchestra, but also a begin- ners' class known as Orchestra Il. Instruction is offered in violin, cello, piano, and drums. The department has several instruments available to students desiring to use them. During the year Orchestra I furnished music at all of the school plays, participated in the Christmas Concert and provided music for both the Grade and High School Commencement pro- grams. The members of the Orchestra joined the Chorus in a trip downtown to see the Operetta The Merry Widow which proved both enter- taining and educational. Each of these activities tend to form profit- able leisure time habits, teach a willingness to co-operate and accept responsibilityg all steps to- ward good citizenship. ORLAND PARK SCHOOL BAND L.
