Samoa MEMORIES Music Department HE orchestra started this school year with more members than it had ever before known. Immediately members of this organization began to work toward a series of programs they were to give, the first of which-numbers played for Teach- ers' Institute-aroused much favorable com- ment. The group also assisted the German Club and the February class at the time when they gave their plays. The orchestra made a total of eight appearances during the year and learned eighteen different se- lections-one of which was the Caesar Frank Symphony. The band appeared at all football games during the fall and lent needed support and enthusiasm to rooters. Another im- portant function of the year was the Pom- ona College Glee Club concert for the bene- Ht of the band uniform fund. At the re- quest of the glee club the band played a group of numbers during the evening per- formance. Two organizations of band mem- Auditorium bers, the trumpet quartet and the wood wind ensemble, were active during the year, as were the boys' and girls' string quartets, composed of orchestra members. Band and orchestra combined to end the year with the Fifth Annual Band and Or- chestra Concert, at which Josephine Mira- montes and Charles Welch were soloists. Another time, May 18, both groups joined with the choral department to participate in the largest May Music Festival. Alfred Hertz, Herbert Clark, and Charles M. Den- nis, outstanding leaders in the country for orchestra, band and chorus, were chosen for conductors of this affair. The Troubadours, the group of singers picked from the chorus, gave performances for downtown clubs and appeared on the Washington-Lincoha program, the annual Christmas program, the Band and Orches- tra Concert, Commencement, and at other times during the year.

IIENIOR MEMORIES I Fear Cl'u1rles Parsons Ir., February Class I fear Wlmen my last long trail is taken, And my soul has come to its end, That I shall leave nothing behind me To be long remembered by them Who live on to their journey's end. I fear XVhen the last prayer is uttered And the last mourner is gone, That my name shall rest on a tombstone And not be revered and thought of Abroad or by fires of home. Only the shadows may know me, Only the well-sheltered glen Wlmere my body rests in eternity, Away from the thoughts of them Who keep in memory forever The titles of famous men. Oh God, let me not falter! Help me to ever be true To the goals at which great ones are aiming, And what all men are longing to do. Nine Door of New Building
