THE ORCHESTRA-AN ACTIVE ORGANIZATION The orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Clarence Peebles and with the assistance of Miss Alice Brainerd, is an active school or- ganization and takes part in a great many of the school activities. During the l936f37 school year they played for the Iunior and Senior plays, the musical revue, l'Rhapsody ln Rhythm, the gym exhibition, and the commencement week activities. The orches- tra and band gave a joint spring concert, Friday, May 7, and the orchestra also pre- sented a short concert for the Parent-Teach- er Association. In the past year the services of the orches- tra have been in great demand, and they have fulfilled the obligations with Willing- ness and earnestness. A beautiful Christmas candle light service was presented on December l7, l936, by the members of the music department under the direction of Miss Alice Brainerd. MUSICIANS ENTERTAIN IN CHRISTMAS PROGRAM The program began with a Carol Prelude by the String Ensemble, which was followed by a candle light processional of the mixed chorus. The service included different musical numf bers by the girls' chorus, the mixed chorus, a girls' octet, and a violin guartet. A beautiful adaptation of the Christmas story from the Bible was given by Marjorie Wilson. The climax of the evening was a cantata, When the Christ Child Came, by Clokey, sung by the mixed chorus. The audience and chorus sang l'Silent Night, after which the chorus members re- cessed to the music of, I-Iarkl the I-lerald Angels Sing.
