.l . Danbury's hoopsters will have no trouble when faced with a final evaluation, for they put on some stirring performances during their hec- tic 1951-1952 season. Under the leadership of Coach Harvey Jessup, they played a good brand of basketball and fought gamely throughout, even though the chances of the game cost sev- eral two and three point decisions. After an early-season slump, the Educators played .500 ball in the New Year, boosting their seasons standing to 8 wins and 12 defeats.

l f i 1 ORCHESTRA The beautiful music you heard emanating from the auditorium every Wednesday afternoon from four-thirty to five-thirty was not long-playing records nor was it symphonic radio music. Rather it was D.T.C.'s own orchestra holding forth. And if some of the selec- tions seemed unfamiliar to you listeners who are well-versed in music appreciation allow us to share some secret information with you. On numerous occasions during these weekly rehearsals compositions by Gustafson were featured. Still not enlightened? This featured composer is a member of the orchestra, none other than Carl Gustafson, D.T.C. '52, As part of their program this year, the thirty orchestra members under the direction of Mr. Mervin Whitcomb gave several public performances. One that is remembered by most of us is the joint concert with the Chorus which was presented for the Christmas season. Another outstanding event was the joint orchestra and band concert which fea- tured a flute concerto, with Margery Daly as the solo artist. To close their season, the orchestra was invited to accompany two local pianists in a concert at the Danbury High School. 34
