T       his  year  the  orchestra  labored  under  a  considerable  handicap,  for  only
                                    six  former  members  remained  and  not  many  new  ones  were  forthcom­
                                    ing.  However, Mr. Gray by the careful arrangement of pieces, by  untir­
                                    ing  effort,  and  by  giving  a  great  deal  of  individual  help  succeeded  in
                            developing a group surprisingly good in spite of the lack of numbers.  A scarcity
                           of brass  and  an  overabundance of  saxophones  rather  unbalanced  the  orchestra,
                           but this situation was admirably met by Mr. Gray and  the members of the group.
                                Those  members  remaining  from  last  year  were  Richard  Scott,  trumpet;
                           Sprague,  clarinet;  Toof,  saxophone;  Wilcox,  drums;  Smith  and  Lind,  violins.
                           To  these  six  were  added:  Norton,  piano;  Moore,  Irving  Chase,  and  Burrows,
                           violins;  Richard  Chase,  Cumming,  and  Nicholson,  saxophones.
                                The orchestra played at both presentations of the Proscenium Club,  as well
                           as  at  a  football  banquet.  Several  members  rendered  selections  in  connection
                           with the Glee Club.
                                Graduating  members  leave with  an  appreciation  of  the  experience gained
                           through  this  training,  and  wish  the orchestra  many more successful  seasons.
