r be Q91fciJest1fa e The S. of A. orchestra has been one of the big features of the school this year. With a leader by the name of Horn, one would expect nothing else but a success. Some one would probably blow him up if he didn't produce some good music. As it is we are sure this Horn ought to be tooted far and wide, for without him the orchestra would never have reached its high place of excellency. Two old and nine new members were turned over to his tender mercies at the beginning of the year. With this material be has turned out the finished product of all stars whom you have had the pleasure of listening to so many times this year. Maybe the reason for the phenomenal success of the orchestra was the lack of feminine aspirationists. This is one field of student activities which the girls have yet to conquer. Until they wake up you can expect good music. SAVE THE ORCHESTRA BOYS ! ! The violin section, consisting of George Pearson, Emmet Cashen, Clements Alger, Willard Dover, and Walter Troxel, was very ably filled and many of the sweet sounds-ff-and some of the discords --can be attributed to their genius. Emil Osterloh and Meade held down the cornet parts with ease. Carl Ruegg was the only elarinetist but he made up for a thousand. The bass section, with Ernest Bartz and Wm. Wiedeberg at slide trombones, did justice to both themselves and orchestra. The orchestra appeared before the school and public several times, the first time being at the Xmas Convocation. The next was the week of Organized Agriculture, when they played for several of the meetings, and also the State Horticultural Society. They were on the Historical Pageant program, and also played for the Senior Class Play, as has been the custom for ears. The pleasure of sucli an organization in our school cannot be over-estimated. lt is one of the things that bring the students together and helps to manufacture school spirit and pep, To music lovers it has been a real treat, or at least we hope so. Everybody boost for an even better orchestra next year. 'I7

, 1 'fwlmr it Ulibe Glas Qtluh The School of Agriculture Glee Club was reorganized at the beginning of the school year, with Mr. Chas. Lively as its leader. About thirty-five fellows tried out and Mr. Lively selected eighteen. Practice began at once. At a business meeting, held shortly after the members of the club were selected, the following officers were elected: President ..................... . ,.,... W. A. NELSON Vice-President. . . .... FRANK EVANS Secretary .... . . .PAUL PATMORE Treasurer ..... ......,............. H ASKLE BOYI-JR We practiced every Monday and Wednesday evening. We also made some rules. A fine was placed upon each member who did not appear at every practice without a good and sudicient reason for his absence. We were soon able to take part in a Convocation program and later able to produce a full Convocation program of our own, which seemed to be fully enjoyed by all of the students and'Faculty members who listened to us. During the week of organized Agriculture we had the pleasure of being on the program for severalof the meetings, one of which was a banquet given at the Commercial Club for the County Fair representatives. You may trust us for being there on time and singing our very best, for we never were known to be bashful when there was a good feed before us. I The good times we had together and the new songs that we learned from time to time served to make a true and lasting friendship for all. We shall never forget those days when we could all meet together with such laughter and joy. l We fully appreciated and wish we could thank our leader enough for his patient work and valuable time rendered for our benefit. We also owe a great deal to Mr. Havlicek, who was our assistant at the piano. Their names will never escape our fond memories of Old Glee Club Days. A Member. H9
