The orchestra, under the leadership of Mr. J effers, showed much im- provement this year and has been playing a better and more difficult grade of music. It is a much better balanced organization this year due to the fact that two clarinets, an E-flat horn, and two violins have been added. During the year the orchestra has played for all the P. T. A. meet- ings except one, and on January 15, entertained the Clay county teachers at Institute with a number of selections. It also assisted in the musi- Cale that was presented April 8th by playing a group of selections. The band has also been greatly improved and has furnished music for many of the basketball games both at home and away. East Side Bakery-For Better Bakery Goods-Phone 6296 Page twenty-three
