Then, too, the Senor ased to take his guitar to the home of his chosen Senorita, and there sernade her. At Roosevelt We do not listen to the music of guitars, but we enjoy our school band, orchestra, and glee clubs. The orchestra, besides playing four selections for the school play, has given several other programs this term under the direction of Mrs. Paddock. The members of the orchestra are: Emily Caviglia, Claire Lang, Milton Hathaway, Geoffrey Yates, Wilbur Fulthorpe, john Healy, Melo Melicevich, Elva Green, Lillian Lexon, Rose Appel tviolinsl, Thomas Ensign, Mildred Willson tclarinetj, james Hall, james Brien Qcoronetj, Pascual Cardoza, Rodney Brothers tsaxophonej, J.

and his drum stuck in the stage entrance. After much pulling and hauling, Herbert and the drum finally arrived on the stage, while the actors held their breaths, and hoped that the scenery would stay up. In Alice in Wonderlandv Walter Bradbury lost his stomach ta large pillowj while saying his part which caused a roar of laughter from the audience. Walt, very much embarrassed, picked up his fake stomach, put it in place and continued without further mishap. Some other things that mysteriously happen are to have a person push a door bell but no sound comes and as he walks away the bell starts to ring. Sometimes a person will push a light button but no light will go on or off. People have prac- ticed saying every word of the play correctly but on the final night they will insist upon pronouncing just one word incorrectly which will make the audience roar with laughter. Vegv often a person will come in too soon and it throws the whole play off its course. But it's all in the day's work, and mistakes that cause chills to creep up the actor's spine when they occur, become treasured memories to laugh over and ask other members of the cast at a later date, Don't you remember when-Pl' ---oo -'o-- SPANISH NAMES IN CALIFORNIA And What They Mean When the Spanish settled in California they gave Spanish names to the cities and states they settled in.
