NUNC DIMITTIS MUSIC Orchestra By William W. Sleator, Jr. F OR the orchestra, the past year has been a most succesful one. Despite severe losses by gradua- tion, this year's membership tapproximately 353 is greater thtn that of any previous year in the school's history. The orchestra has played for assembly part of the time during the year, and will also play for the commencement exercises. Most of the actual conducting has been done by Mr. Shu- mate, of the School of Music, under the able supervision of Mr. Burnett. Operating in conjunction with the instrumental music classes, the orchestra offers an opportunity for players of all levels of ability to gain invaluable experience: the beginners, in general orchestral work, and those more advanced, in sight reading and in conducting. In spite of its extremely limited practicing time, one hour a week, the orchestra has made definite progress this year, and has proved itself a very popular and worthwhile organization. - Glee Clubs By Helen Byrn THE girls' and boys' glee clubs, under the direction of Miss Olson, have given musical training and much enjoyment to all students interested in singing. In addition to their regular weekly meetings they have appeared in public on several occasions. The girls sang three American Indian folk songs in a program for the Women's Club. They also sang several times in the school assemblies. The boys' group gave a short operetta when the athletic letters were presented in assembly. In realistic pirate costumes and with appropriate songs, they showed their disapproval of poor sports- manship by making part of the pirate crew walk the plank for such crimes as not cheering at the basketball games. After this the letters were taken out of the treasure-chest and distributed to team members. The spring cantata was omitted this year. In its place the girls' and boys' groups combined to give an assembly of glee club music. - The Band By G. Howard Carrothers THE University High School Band was first organized in 1931. Each year since then it has shown a decided improvement over the previous year. The members have tried concert music for the first time this year, and they have done very well with this type of band music. Several times this year the band has played at the beginning and at the end of the assembly programs. Mr. Burnett, who is in charge of the band and orchestra, has been unusually fortunate in having several of the University students from the Michigan Band assist him in teaching and directing our band. Each spring, as soon as the weather permits, the band goes out of doors to practice marching. Page Twenty-two
