Band This year’s greatly enlarged band has risen to great heights under the able baton of our director, Mr. G. Rowland Young. Only through hours of tedious work and individual instruction could these ac- complishments be made. For through his tireless efforts, this year’s band was able, not only to play at our assemblies and street parade, but also at our football games, graduation, and other activities too numerous to mention. We salute you, Mr. Young, with our sincere gratitude.

Orchestra The enlarged orchestra, under the able direction of Mr. Young who himself is an accomplished musician, completed an- other successful year. Although limited to an assembly, class day, and graduation engagements, the orchestra lived up to its high tradition of performing exceedingly well each time. The orchestra, this past season, has started a string and flute section, which had been missing during the pre- vious few years, in making up the balance of the organization. The curriculum ranged from popular to symphony music, in the short span of the year, giving a well rounded mus‘cal edu- cation to the members of the orchestra. The orchestra hopes it can enlarge its body and activities in the future so it can once again be a credit to Memorial and to the Boston Public Schools.
