Orchestra The Philadelphia Musical Academy ' s sixty- five-piece symphony orchestra, directed by Maurice Kaplow, has performed admirably this season. The first concert, presented Thursday evening, November 4th, at the Fleischer Auditorium, Y. M. H. A., included works by Wagner, Mozart, Ravel, and Hindemith. Cheltenham High School was the scene of the next concert when the orchestra appeared March 19th and performed compositions by Wagner and Mozart, as an added feature to the fourth in a series of five concert lectures by Joseph Castaldo. In existence now for ninety-four years, this widely known, active organization has been valuable to students in helping them to become familiar with the literature of the master com- posers. Equally important are the confidence and experience gained in performing for the public. Also, the publicity the orchestra receives through these appearances has benefited the Philadelphia Musical Academy.

Music Educators ' National Conference MENC Officers: Mary Bourne, President; Alex Ragsdale, Vice-Presi- dent; James Fay. Secretary; Dimitri Kauriga, Treasurer. The Music Educators ' National Conference is a pro- fessional organization for music educators and music students who are united in one corporate purpose: the advancement of music education. The chapter has already participated in the biennial national convention recently held in Philadelphia. Academy students who are members will have the opportunity to further their education by participating in campus, state, division, and national meetings, and they will have the opportunity to become acquainted with professional leaders. While the Academy chapter has just started, there are many indications the chapter will growrapidly in strength and numbers because there is enthusiastic student interest. The Da Capo staff sincerely hopes that the Academy chapter will grow in stature under Miss Weir ' s capable guidance.
