64 L- The PQRCUPINE QUHHL play their marches in a very tantalizing manner. There is no lack of proof of that. Sit down in one of our Lits and listen to the effect of one of the orchestral marches on the pupils. There begins a trampling as of sol- diers on the march beating time to the music. Now to give you an idea of what the orch- estra looks like when it plays a selection. Of course an orchestra would not be complete with-out the traps: so one of the boys has un- dertaken to beat time. There are Several Hawaiian guitars, a trombone, a saxophone, and something that sounds like a trumpet which I have not been able to see. To COIH- plete the picture there is a piano. On the floor. the orchestra forms a well-spread-out V At the beginning of the selection, Mr. M.it- chell steps out in front of the orchestra and waves his wand about several times. At a given twist of the wrist we hear the piano start up, followed by the rest of the instru- ments. The funny part of it is the forest of violin bows moving up and down to the rhythm of the piece. Through the selection the conductor goes through all kinds of Won- derful movements. But that is a characteris- tic of all orchestra leaders. By a series of flicks of the wand, Mr. Mitchell leads the orchestra into a wonderful nnale that can be heard all over the school. I hope the orchestra continues doing good work. It Will be the talk of the town before long. It will do the boys and girls in it goodg and if any one of our musicians turns out to be a Rubinoif or some such celebrity we shall be proud of the fact that the North, as well as the South, can produce musicians.

There were three plays put on for two nights, and both performances were attended by a large and appreciative audience. 'I'he actors chosen for the plays were well adapted to their parts. The light- ing eiects achieved by the Technical boys under the supervision of Mr. Vogel were ex- cellent, and the costumes of the players fash- ioned by the Commercial girls were effective. The acting of the students was pleasing and the talent of a few was quite unusual, The plays were ably directed by teachers of the school.
