The sume problem of replacing veteran nienrbcrs has nuttin been competently solved by the director, 1Mr. Peterson. The instrumentation is well cpropontioned, and the orchestra is able to give laudable interpretations of classical music. Because of its ability, its concert was at Success. However., the orchestra members receive the benefits of their own eiiorts, for they derive an immens- nruiale reward from exposure to the best of classical musical under the guidance oi Mr. Peterson. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::4- Page Forty-one fl

The Glee Clubs Of the eighty-six pupils enrolled in the High School at the beginning of the year, sixty- seven were members of either the boys or girls Glee Cluib. Of this numlbor thirty-eight were selected by Miss Wiltsie, the director, to form a mixed chorus. This group presented a carol concert with appropriate itaibleaux for the P.T.A. at Christmas time, and also furnished the vocal music for the Orchestra Concert in January. Both Glee Cluibs appeared in the finst Ba-nd Concert of the year. The groups united in the presentation of -the annual High School Operetta- Tulip Time , the scene of which was a small 'Dutch village. The mrnival of a party of' American students, under .the leadership of Professor 'McSpindle added excitement to the holiday which was be- ing celebrated. The arrest of iMeSpinidle as a suspected thief of prize tulip bulbs was made with much ado by the 'Burgomia-ster of the village. Great consternation reigned until Mc- Spinfdle proved his innocence and 'Ned announced 'lthree marrying joibs four the Burgomasterf' The parts were most ably portrayed by the memlbers of the cast, with McSpindle, the Burgomaster, and Hans leading in the laughs. The cast was as follows: Hans-aRoger Meinert, Aunt Ann-Ruth Peterson, Kaitinka-Winifred Rolph, Christina-:Florence Covell, Hendrick Van Oster4Paul Zatzke, Theophilus McSpinidle-Charles Snyder, Ned Baxter-James DeWitt, Dick Warren--Ralph Olson.
