Band After winning the grand sweepstakes award in Tucson's annual La Fiesta De Los Vaqueros Parade, with their marching version of the var- sovieana, the Tucson High School Band, under the direction of W. Arthur Prof Sewell turned its attention to the remaining activities on its musical calendar. One of the biggest dates ahead, states K'Prof Sewell, is the band concert on April 5, during the annual Tucson Music Festival. Each year, during the week of April 5-12, all students in the Tucson Public Schools, various bands, orchestras, and organ classes give a concert in the Tucson High School auditorium which is open to the music loving public of Tucson. Also scheduled for late in the year is concert to be held on some Sunday afternoon in Armory Park. As has been the tradition for many years, all graduating seniors in the band have an opportunity to play, at the commencement exercises, a solo which they have selected. George Snell, Max Klinger, Horace Bounds, Tommy Burrows, Hal Richerson, Laurie Houck, Bill McCormick, Leroy Arnold, Joe Mendoza, and Bob Thompson are at present busily engaged in preparing their solos. At the mid-term the band lost its president, Tom Martin. Hal Richerson has been elected to replace him. Other officers of the band include: George Snell, personnel manager, Bill McCormick, librarian, Leroy Arnold, Sec- retary, Bob Thompson and Tommy Burrows, drum major. ..,......-...-.-H Q5 rm H isti 174

Urchestra The orchestra played its usual prominent part in the affairs of Tucson Senior High School this year. Composed of forty members, about the same number as last year's orchestra had, it was a well-balanced orchestra, con- taining no outstandingly good or poor players, but a nicely proportioned group, whose members get along Well together, according to Prof Sewell. Among the orchestra's numerous activities this year were its appearance at assemblies and school plays, and its annual concert. Selections played at this year's concert were Southern Rhapsody by Hosmer, Symphony Num- ber 13 by Haydn, and a piano concerto in D Minor by Mozart with Venice Lindsay as soloist. Sewell organized the orchestra in 1909 and has been directing it ever since. The orchestra has enjoyed permanent popularity under HProf's ex- pert guidance. 175
