Page 14 text:

The Senior Orchestra HE Senior Orchestra has again completed a very successful year. Foremost among the instrumental musical organizations of Wfestern Hills, the orchestra has been the main participant in all school concerts. Even the All Cincinnati High School Orchestra was enriched by select members of the senior orchestra. This All Cincinnati Orchestra gave its concert at the teachers' con- vention last fall. OE the achievements of the senior orchestra, its work during the opera, Pirates of Penzance has been greatest. The Choral Club could never have produced the opera with such perfection without the aid of the senior orchestra. The senior orchestra was a feature at a banquet in honor of the new XVestern Hills viaduct. The program consisted of several overture selections. The evening was climaxed by the singing of Mrs. Ruth Heubach Best, who was accompanied by the orchestra. The night of june 17th marked the last appearance of the orchestra of 1951-52. The orchestra is the musical background to all graduation ceremonies. Very few members will be lost through this graduation so another very good group may be expected to take the place of the one that disbands in june. -DONALD L. ZIEGEL, 35.

unior Qrchestra HE junior Orchestra, a music club, has completed its fourth year, again it has been a very successful one. Through the capable leadership of Mr. Stokes it has been able to play every week in the junior Auditorium session. It has been the duty of the orchestra to perform in these sessions for the last four years. The junior orchestra is organized for the junior pupils in order to in- crease their knowledge of music and to prepare them for the senior orchestra. Throughout the year the music became more difficult and interesting than was first played. Various types of music were played during this time, including marches, waltzes, light overtures, and a few novelty numbers. By teaching different kinds of instruments, Mr. Stokes increased the size of the orchestra. Besides playing every week in the auditorium session the junior orchestra with the co-operation of the junior band gave a concert to the members of junior High School. Considering the fact that the members have been chosen from the junior High School, the accomplishment has been remarkable. The members of the orchestra sincerely hope that in the following years the junior orchestra will play as well as this year. KENNETH ZIEGEL, '36, First row, left to right: Forthman, Rable. Stokes.
