THE ORCHESTRA ,,g,5?gyIg HE orchestra this year has enjoyed a most successful season as regards the number of members, and the amount of work accomplished. Ensemble playing is one of the most valuable of the advantages offered here and is under the direction of D. W. Boland. The membership of the orchestra is over thirty. They attend rehearsals twice a Week and in addition play at assembly and various functions of the school. In the work of rehearsing and presenting these concerts the students receive that experience and routine, which will be so necessary to them when they take the leadership in their home communities. Students are also taught conducting, and those belonging in this class are given an opportunity to direct at rehearsals and so gain actual experience. THE JAZZ ORCHESTRA The Jazz Orchestra is another organization of the school wl1icl1 forms an im- poprtalitmpart of the musical organizations of the Aggie Campus. They are prepared to furnish Jazz Music-whenever the occasion demands this class of music. This orchestra has played for the Sunlight Hops throughout the school year. The students have enjoyed the peppy music that has added so much pleasure to these dances. Page One Hundred Tlzirty-seven

Wlien music sounds, all that I was I am, Ere to this haven of brooding dust I comeg And from Times' woods break into distant song The swift-winged hours, as I hasten along.
