Orchestra OONS in theOrc-hestra can forget the words of Mr. Ellabarger when he introduced that organization to the High School for the first time, on February 21st, 1910. He said, Several weeks ago. one of the boys came to me and suggested the idea that all those in the school who play musical instruments should form themselves into an orchestra. to be known as the 'High School Orchestraf We have the fruits of his idea this afternoon. The boy is Vvarren Breidenbach and he has become director. We played three mnnbers that afternoon and received much applause, Cat that time there were about twelve pieces in the Orchestra, including three mandolins and a guitar.l and all were so encouraged by the reception received, that by C'Ommeneement, the only other time at which the Orchestra appeared last year, we were able to furnish music in plenty. This year when we organized. only orcliestral izistrunients were entered: this gave us about sixteen pieces, excluding lllillldllllfli, etc. It did not take long to become used to playing together again and we were able to accept engagements to furnish music for numerous events about town. The money thus earned was turned into the treasury of the Orchestra and used to buy music and to pay other incidental expenses. Now the Orchestra has as its property a bass-viol, donated by Mr. Robert Shemmel. and music ranging from The SOldier's Chorus and Tannhauscr down to Steamboat Bill. Director Breidenbach and several members Ol the Orchestra will graduate this year, but we hope that the others will reorganize next year. and that when chance brings us back to old P. H. S. we nuy find that our High School Orchestra still plays an important part in school life. PERSONNEL. FAY NORTON, 'll.
