ri S C H O O L N 0 T E S The annual Senior Reception was held at the Seminary on Thursday evening, September sixth. The chapel was carefully decorated with green in honor of the new guests, or rather, members of high school. Knowing how boring it would be to Freshmen to sit through a program, the Seniors decided to make the affair very informal, and after the Freshmen were tagged and bibbed so that the upper-classmen could distinguish and greet them, everyone enjoyed playing children's games under the supervision of Mr. Duncan. The affair was a success in every way, and it is hoped that it made the Freshmen feel more at home and better acquainted with the students and faculty. n ORCHESTRA Shortly after school started the school orchestra was organized, and the enthusiasm which it created among the musical members of high school marked it a sure success. The orchestra has played for chapel exercises and on many other occasions including the dancing after the basket ball games. The members are as follows: Lucy Bailey-piano. Raymond Govern and Byron Beggs-violins. William Govern and James Frame-saxophones. Richard Frame-tenor banjo. Theodore Mase and Robert Decker-mandolin banjo. Caroline Hickok-mandolin. Fred Todd-drums. PRIZE SPEAKING On the night of March 28, ten students of Stamford Seminary met for the annual Prize Speaking Contest.
