E. 111 The Grcbestra After the success made by the orchestra last year, we felt that it was almost essential that we have one again this season. It is quite hard for a lot of good dancers, such as are seen only at Starkey, to move around the floor to the tune of a victrola. Wltl1OLlt any delay the orchestra was organized and started its regular weekly prac- tices. We didn't have much trouble to find a good place to practice with our new gym and fine stage, that is, it was easy enough during the football season, but when basketball started we had rather a hard time to gain much in our playing when we had to buck the shouts of the squad. We took up a collection among the students to raise money for new music. YVe bought a lot of the newest orchestrations and it wasn't long before we had mastered them. Wheii we get together we make a lot of good noise and it sounds something more or less like Lopez? Besides playing for our own dances here at school, we had the privelege of play- ing for a play given by the members of the church. Some of the members of the play being given at Starkey heard our music and enjoyed it so much that they decided to have us come up and play for them the two nights that they gave their play, Green Stockings. Evidently they liked our work, because we understand that they con- template taking the play to Lodi and we are to go with them. lVIore power to the orchestra. , By commencement we hope to be able to surprise most of the alumni. They heard some wierd notes last year, but we-intend to give them some real good jazz and classical work in june. ORCH ESTRA NI EM B ERS Piano Violin lVIarjory lVIorris Joyce Voorhees Alice L.
