Grove
City High School
 Orpheus
One of the
outstanding features of the musical life of our High School
is the Orpheus under the leadership of Miss
Selkirk Burgess.
It was organized
in 1913 and each year since then has done something for the benefit of
our school either by way of a cantata, concert, or operetta.
Last year [1924]
the Orpheus gave a concert which included a cantata “The Wreck of the
Hesperus” and a number of dramatic sketches representing different
nations. This program, although different from previous years, met with
great success. Some of the leading persons who took part were Dorothy
Allen, Richard VonEnde and James McCrea.
