' Much progress has been made this year, under the direction of Mr. Beckes. Rehearsals were held regularly every Tuesday and Friday, with the greater number present. New music was purchased which also greatly helped to in- crease the interest and zeal of all members. At the hrst of the year, the following ofiicers were elected by ballot: Pre.rin'enI, James Ruth. Se'rretm1v, Margaret jackson. TI'tYIJllfZ7', LeMoyne Murray, These officers have attended to the financial and beneficial interests of our organization, by performing their duties regularly, at each rehearsal, and by using their iniiuence in attempting to have all members present at each rehearsal. Although, maybe, not quite as prominent as Band, or Athletics, still the Orchestra has done its share of the work, having played for Chapel Programs, Debate, The junior Play, The Senior Play, The Farmer's Institute Play and other events ofthe school year. ln all, the Orchestra has seen a very successful and enjoyable year, and although we will lose five of our most prominent members, we hope to find others who will attempt to fill their places and increase our organization to a great extent. So here's to a Bigger and Better Orchestra in the year i935-36. Ly! lo Rigln- FIRST ROW: joe Vargo, Helen janoski, Eleanor Berdjer, Chaplin Weldny, Kennnrd Hay- thorne, Margaret gackson, Mike Hruschak.

l935 SMITHONIAN Band Last fall after a week of trying to End a time to have band practice Mr. Beckes decided to hold regular rehearsals at noon. We were somewhat crippled by the graduation of last year's seniors. With the aid of several outsiders we played for the Fair. We played for the home football games during the fall and also for the home basket-ball games this winter. During the year the band put on and helped to put on several chapel programs. About the last of February eighteen new members were added to our number. With the aid of the School Board we added two more Basses, two Baritones and an Oboe to the band. These along with the addition of Clarinets and Saxa- phones have helped to balance the Band. Up to this time the reed and bass sections were weak. The Band Mothers worked hard and faithfully all winter in order to buy new suits to have the entire band outfitted for our contest this spring. This contest was held in Toronto this year. This is the fourth year that our Band has competed in the contest. The first two years we placed fourth in our class. The third year we moved up to third place and this year we came home with the second place cup. Next year we are planning on bringing home the cup for first place. The day of the contest was a beautiful spring clay and everyone had zz good time. Toronto had made complete plans for the day and everything went along smoothly. Our band also made a nice showing in the marching contest held in the afternoon. Our new members seem to have helped the band a great deal with their presence. The Band is going to play for commencement this year instead of the Orchestra so for the remainder ofthe year that will be our main object. T451
