With money from the Board of Educa¬ tion. many new instruments have been purchased. In ttvo appearances this year, the orchestra, composed of some thirty members directed by Mr. Brown, performed creditably. At the special Christmas assembly Cellar’s “Hold and Silver” waltz and Schubert’s “Marche Militaire” were playe d. I he students enjoyed the compositions and were enthusiastic in their applause. The orchestra opened the performance of the Bartered Bride opera, when it was presented on our stage, by playing the overture. This was an ambitious undertaking for the score was ex¬ tremely difficult. Mr. Brown hopes to add other instruments and more members next year and plans to have the orchestra take part in regular assemblies.
