This year the Illinois State High School Orchestra Association was formed, which permitted grade school players to take part in the high school orchestra. This was a decided advantage since it permitted our director to combine the grade and high school talent to give a more complete string section. The orchestra has nine violins, a cello, and a string bass, besides the brass and wood-wind section. Fortunately, all of this group are underclassmen and will return next year, enabling us to have an advanced string section. The orchestra took part in the Spring Concert; district contest of the Illinois State High School Orchestra Association. From left to right, they are as follows: Top Row-Gertrude Scott, Mr. Handley, Helen Ruth Stone, James Irvin. Junior Morrison. Middle Row-Sam Wise, Louise Ellett, Virginia Moreland. Martha Lois Stahl, Kathryn Ogle, Wilbur Cannon, Robert Jeakins, Elizabeth Lowe, Weldon Sheets. Bottom Row-Louise Scott.
