SENIOR ORCHESTRA The Senior High Orchestra, which is composed of twenty-five members, all from the Senior High School. has experienced not only an interesting year, but one in which they have shown marked improvement and progress. The program of the annual orchestra entertainment, which was given this year hefore a large and appreciative audience, was built on a western theme. The firsf half consisted of a group of concert numbers of western music presented by the Senior Orchestra. In the second half of the program an original sketch entitled "On 7he Ranch" was the medium through which the continuity of the theme was main­ fained. The staging and costumes gave a charming western atmosphere. The receipts of this program were used to complete payment for the sweaters purchased last year as uniforms for the orchestra. A string ensemble and campfire orchestra, whose members met after school, were extra-curricular activities. These groups, together with the orchestra, furnished music for the C.C.C. camp, the Service Clubs, the Community Class, and the Public School Council programs, for student assemblies, for the pl,,ys given by the Student Body, the Lett0rmen, and the Senior and Junior Classes, as well as for the Vesper Program and the Senior High School Commencement. Four members of the orchestra-two violins, a 'cello, and a horn-were selected to play in the Southern California High School Symphony Orchestra. Four other mem­ bers took part in the program of the Orchestral Arts Society given at Redlands before the State Federation of Music Clubs. The success of the orchestra is due to the untiring efforts of the director, Mrs. Howe.
