Orchestra - Click to enlarge photo.
This has been one
of the most successful years ever enjoyed by the High School Orchestra. A
large part of its success may be attributed to its leader. Mr.
[David] Reese is the leader whose efforts and abilities have
enabled him to conduct the orchestra in a way satis factory to all. Able
assistance has been rendered Professor Reese
by Miss Elizabeth Pearce, the pianist. The members of the
Orchestra have always shown a ready willingness to practice faithfully and
work hard. Their work has been greatly appreciated by the whole school.
Orchestra members on the different programs have received loud and long
continued applause. The activities of
the Orchestra consisted mainly in playing during the school programs
Columbus Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas. Washington’s Birthday and the day
of the A. R. Oratorical Contest have all seen the Orchestra in splendid
trim. The Orchestra also played in the concert given by the public schools
and there it was a huge success. The Orchestra consists of nine violins, cello, flute, cornet, clarinet and drums. A large and enthusiastic turnout is desired for the coming year and everyone having musical ability should help make the Orchestra for 1919-20 a great success. |
