CHORAL CLASS Music, under the able direction ot Mr. A. C. Olker, has progressed rapidly during the past year. ln spite of the handicap of having personally to instruct most of the students, Mr. Olker has created a music department, consisting of orchestra, band, and choral classes, of which Roosevelt may well be proud. lnstrumental Work has all been carried on under the extreme difficulty of being housed in a single cottage. Many invitations to play have had to be rejected, and many opportun- ities for the students to show their artistic abilities have had to be passed by. The total enrollment in these groups shows the fine spirit and interest toward music, tor the students have Worked hard, even Without the added stimulus of playing for special affairs. More than l2O are enrolled in the choral classes, 50 in the orchestra, and 30 in the band.. Next semester the auditorium will be ready tor occupancy by the music department. Here the choral classes will have the opportunity again to display their talents, here the orchestra and band will probably develop into one of the best in the city of Oakland. VHLSHHOHO S MUSIC
