Clau- Orchestro members ore This year the orchestra was quite active in civic attairs, and in addition it did something that no orchestra in the history of West High has been able to do-it went to a contest. It played to tull orches- tra numbers and one string number and received an excellent rating. At the Christmas concert the orchestra ioined with the Modernaires to do T'vvas the Night Be- tore Christmas. Several members accompanied the choir and Modernaires in their rendition ot Vi- valdis Gloriaf At the spring concert, held in late spring ot this year, it played selections from 'South Pacific. Several students who tound it impossible to take orchestra as a class helped out in the various pertormances throughout the year. These, with the many treshmen, made a tairly large orchestra and since the caliber ot the individual was high, the cali- ber ot the group was also high. Mr. Bissell is losing only tour seniors this year, but with the many tine under-classmen already in the orchestra plus those expected trom the junior high, the orchestra should continue in its celebrated manner.
