The Pittsford High School Band, under Mr. Wright, followed by Miss Korris, because of a lack of musicians, is o merging of last year's Junior and Senior Bands. Besides playing for assemblies and lifting morale at basketball games they have kept feet marching and fingers snapping at the Armistice and Mem- Oricl Day Parades. They also performed for the Annual spring concert. Banrl Back row: Provost, Miss Korris, Way.

String Ensemble The school orchestra was under the direction of Mr. Wright during the first term and under Miss Korrs during the second. lt was first organized under Mrs. Coupens some years ago. Due to the lock of male talent, the orchestra is composed of girls. Percussion and brasses have been eliminated and it has be- come a string ensemble. This year it has played for assemblies, will participate in the Spring Concert, and will perform forthe graduation exercises. 27

Five girls went to the Syracuse Music Clinic where they sang with huge mix- ed and girls' choruses. These girls were Mary Zornow, Mary Shearer, Dorothy Nichols, Hazel Maxfield, and Betty Voorhees, The one boy who went was George Bachman. The Chorus sang at a play which was giv- en at Christmas time. They are planning a late Spring Concert and will perform at graduation. The big affair of the year which was put on by the Chorus was Gilbert and SuIlivan's Pinafore . Giv- en in April, it wasa big success and was enioyed by all. Principals were Frank Evans, Robert Nichols, Bruce Greenfield, June Mueller, Mary Zornow, and Gloria Patchen, Not only did the Chorus put this on, but other departments aided in the production so that it was a product of the whole school. The Chorus will lose a number of its good voices through graduation, but the musical season for next year still promises to be a good one. 26
