HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA 

Every Wednesday afternoon at 3:15 and Thursday and Friday mornings, at 8:30 finds the Grove City High School Orchestra, busily engaged in earnest practice under the direction of its capable leader Miss Selkirk Burgess. This year our director has added to our musical duties practice with the baton. 

The orchestra furnishes music for chapel on Thursday and Friday mornings, plays for literary programs and before each Lyceum number. This season’s engagements included two at the Court House in Mercer; one for the Farmer and Home Round-up, the other at the County School Directors' Convention. We expect to give a concert in the spring. 

We are very proud of our organization. Last year we won in a contest with the Sharon Orchestra, the largest High School Orchestra in Mercer County. Will we ever forget that day! It was every bit as exciting as a close basketball or football game. We hope to participate in a concert this year. 

When our graduates left the Orchestra last year, we thought we were almost wrecked, but new members came into take their places. - - FOR

Seniors may come and Seniors may go,

Old G. C. H. S. Orchestra goes on forever.
