The Or- chestra got off to a good start by holding its first meeting on February 7, and elect- mg the following officers for the current term:- President. .,,,......,... Maurice Benson Vice President .... , ..... Andrew Clasquin Secretary ......,... Geraldine Williamson Treasurer. . ....,..... Walter Boeger Librarian, ,.........4 ....... E lmer Wolf Ass't Librarian ...... . .... Arthur Guntley Life Correspondent ,... James Shuhardt A person, casually glancing at the fore- going list, would receive the erroneous im- pression that the Orchestra is composed of boys. A more careful examination, how- ever, with a pause at the third name, will correct this delusion. Nevertheless, the orchestra is composed largely of boys this term. I cannot account for this, ex cept by supposing that there is not an abundance of musical talent among the girls of Yeat- man. Girls, do you accept this challenge? Nine boys and eight girls received letters for satisfactory attendence and work dur- Their names are:- Maurice Benson Andrew Clasquin ing the preceding term. Margaret Brewster Vinlta Buscher Dorothy Diestelhorst Adolph Friemel Edythe Jones Vernon Moore Antoinette Lester Pence Moczydlowska Albert Polunsky Willard Scott Martin Steitz Phil VValton The orchestra contributed to the success of Miss Randall's play given on March 2. From numerous ciomments that l heard, I am sure the students who were present that memorable afternoon went away feel- ing. that they had received full value for their money, not taking into consideration Dorthea Schneider Helen Walsh Geraldine Williamson the fact that the proceeds were to buy books for the Library. Our next public appearance occured on March 21, when we contributed our bit toward the success of the tax campaignw. Our part of the program was by no means the least applauded. Our most importance appearance Ito the Seniors! occured on March 31, when we played a march to make their Color Day a success in spite of the miserable, rainy day provided by Nature. The Seniors ex- pressed their appreciation by requesting us to come to their aid on their Flag Day, May 5. We acquiesced to their wishes and played for them on that date, with results just as pleasing as those on Color Day. The Hbig dayw, however, took place Friday evening, May 12. This was our annual concert. This was given under the auspices of the Patrons, association, and was coupled with the moving picture, tllulius Caesarw all of which helped to make the occasion the biggest hit of the season. As this annal is attaining a considerable length, I shall have to bring it to a close. Suffice to say, however, we are to play at the presentation of the Senior Play, UTwelfth Nightw, and we intend to make it an achievement worthy of the occasion. We can always use new members with talent, therefore, if you are laboring under the idea that you possess some of this usable talent, donyt let the idea get away from you, but go up to Mr. Birrls room, 208, and communicate with him. Quite recently the Board of Education decided to allow Mr. Birr to award credit to the mem- bers similar to that received by the Senior Music Class and under the same conditions. This should quicken the desire to be- come a member of the Yeatman High School Orchestra conducted by Mr. Birr. Puff .Yinrl-v One
