The Band Saturday, May 9, the State Band Contest was held in San Francisco. The Willard Band performed as the outstanding group in the Junior High School Class. Both in conduct and performance they were rated excellent. The Student Body had the pleasure of hearing them play their program numbers at an assembly held in their honor. On May 17, they played in the annual Spring Band and Orchestra Festival held in the Men ' s Gym- nasium, University of California, and again their work was outstanding. It was a very fine program they put on at the International Rotary Convention held in our city re- cently, and the excellence of their work called forth many favorable comments. The mem- bers of the band are a credit to the school, and we are proud of them.

The Choral One hundred twenty-seven students selected music as one of their courses this se- mester, a peak enrollment we wish you to know. These girls and boys automatically became members of the H-9 Choral with Mrs. Kellogg as their leader. A triumphant and enjoyable term has just been most successfully climaxed with the beautiful numbers so faultlessly rendered on the program for graduation today.

The Forest ' s Children The gentle doe in the forest green Peeks out from behind her leafy screen. The bushy-tailed squirrel collects his nuts For winter-time when his door he shuts. The broad-tailed beaver with his dam Cuts down trees for his pond to cram. The big brown bear inspects the trees To steal some honey from the bees. Ted Wilson. 20

WILLARD ORCHESTRA and WILLARD BAND The Orchestra Representing musical talent in the school, Willard ' s seventy-two-piece orchestra has climbed high on the ladder of achievement this term. Mr. Salisbury is to be highly com- mended for his artistic direction. Due to the lack of an auditorium a select group was called upon to add harmony to the Low Seven Open House and other local activities. They also rendered a program at the Masonic Lodge in April. Another group of twenty- five played for the P.T.A. Bridge Party. On April 24, the spotlight gleamed brightly on the full orchestra as it did its part to spread the story of beauty and melody at the concert given at the Berkeley High School Auditorium. Climaxing the continued efforts of Mr. Salisbury and his seventy-two musicians was the added enjoyment they contributed to the Graduation Exercises on June 19.
