BAND CONCERT |S FINE FEATURE IF COMMENCEMENT
High School Organization Makes Good Showing; Senior-Junior Ball We'd nesday; Exercises Thurs day

Director P A. Venne lead the Phoe- nix Union high school orchestra through musical program of unusual excellence at the high school audi tOrium last evening. This was the sec ond event on the commencement week program and one of the most pleasing entertainments of it's kind ever offered by a high school musical organization.
 The rendition of many classical num- bers was indicative of the rapid strides made by the band in the short school year. and it is unfortunate that the organization must be broken just at a time when it has reached the stage of unit perfection.
 The concert last night was complete in every sense of the word, the duets and solos being worthy of special men ton. But they scored doubly and sin gularly where the band scored as a unit; they were given singular oppor- tunity where the band was as one.
 From Classic to Jazz
 Opening in true American fashion with the Star Spangled Banner" the band rendered program that afforded music lovers everything in the musical repertoire, from classics to jazz. The second number was Q "Co-Ed," fol- lowed by a waltz, Sweet Evening Bells" Special bell effects were the feature, Roy Perry adding much to the number.
 Number four was a trombone spec ialty, "Lassue Trombone,' with Lee | Fretz, Burlin Garrison and Wilbur | Selle giving some real trombone music i Beautiful Ohio" was the fifth number on the program, followed by a jazz number. "How-ya Gonna Keep 'Em | Down on the Farm?'
 | A clarinet and cornet duet, Lar | board Watch" was next, with James 1 Miller playing in clarinet and Earl | Evans the cornet. Luch Doyle was the accompanist. Miss Bessie Barkley was the first soloist, her rendition of My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice." from Samson and Delilah," calling for round after round of applause. She was accompanied by Ida May Coke.
