HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA In
the year 1913 was seen the organization of a Junior orchestra, which was
the foundation of the Senior orchestra. When the Junior orchestra’s
first concert was announced many of their relatives and friends attended
and were held spellbound (?) by the weird and mysterious sounds which
emerged from this group. Nevertheless, through the clouds were seen a
ray of hope and the Senior—a more advanced orchestra - produced. As
has been the custom, the orchestra has given annual performances for the
purpose of entertaining and buying new material for the advancement of
the orchestra. Through proceeds for the 1923 Concert, a trip to
Pittsburgh to hear the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra, was enjoyed by
all. As
each member of the orchestra has developed at least two ways for
entertaining, the programs are not lacking in diversion. This year a
double-bass is being purchased with the entertainment money. We
are proud of many of our at-one-time orchestra members but we still look
to a brighter future. We believe in “not pushing backwards but always
ahead.” |
