The members of the girls' quartet were Frances Tomlinson, Marybelle Sutton, Virginia Taylor, and Gladys Martin. The girls' trio was composed of Frances Tomlinson, Gladys Martin, and Marybelle Sutton, also from the Glee Club. ln April members from the Glee Club participated in the contest at URCHESTHA One of the most helpful organizations in this school, from year toqyear is the orchestra. lt provides a musical background for most of our school func- tions such as assembly programs, P. T. A. benefits, class plays, and operetta. This year there are more instruments represented in our orchestra, making it even better than in the years past. Some of these instruments are: three saxo- phones, one' baritone, one double bass horn, and one marimba. Columbia and had high ratings. ln order to present music of which the school may be proud an orchestra must practice many hours, sometimes practicing the same number over and over many times. A high school orchestra is not a symphony orchestra and probably will never reach that honor, but why not try to make it as nearly perfect as possible? That is what our orchestra this year has tried to do. Miss Smith, the orchestra teacher, who has devoted much of her outside time toward the success of the orchestra, deserves our sincere thanks. The officers are as follows: For the first semester, president, Lawrence Clark, vice- president, Virginia Lee Taylor, secretary, Edith Barmore, treasurer, Aileen Williams. For the second semester, president, Charles Neef, vice-president, Martha Lefman, secretary, Ruby Barmore, treasurer, Virginia Harris. 27
