High School Senior Orchestra
To Give Concert Of Classical
Numbers April 23-Proceeds
To Be Used for Purchase OF
Music and Instruments for
Use Students

A musical library for Cony High
from which the students Interested
may borrow standard classical num-
bers, arranged for orchestra, small
group or solo work, is the plan of
Miss Gertrude Thorne, supervisor OF
music for the public schools Of this
city. Miss Thorne has found that a
number of the students who play in
the school orchestra take delight in
playing in their homes, either singly
or in groups. They are. however, not
supplied with music of the better
grade but are obliged to play popu-
lar music which they have purchased
in the stores and which does not give
them the practice and liking for
classical music which is to be de-
sired.
Miss Thorne hopes to have IL
brary OF classical numbers SO COM
posed that any desired arrangement
may be secured by the pupils and
taken to their homes for two or three
weeks, where they may work with
the best compositions OF great mus1-
clans and acquire a better musical
education. In addition she desires II
possible to establish an instrument
fund with which to purchase certain
instruments for the school orchestra.
These instruments would be loaned
to worthy students who would be
coached to play them and thus the
school orchestra could be kept bal
anced in its composition by the ad-
dition of instruments, many of which
although standard orchestra instru-
ments and well worth learning to
play, are not generally taken up.
A. concert by the members OF the
Cony High Senior orchestra will be
given at the Assembly hall on Thurs
day night, April %, for which a small
admission will be charged and the
proceeds Of the concert will go to-
ward the library and instrument
fund. This orchestra Is composed Of
the more experienced players at the
school and the name simply differen-
tiates It from the orchestra compos-
ed Of less experienced players which
is called the Junior orchestra.
There will be several classical
numbers by the entire organization,
and some pleasing ones by the high
school trio. composed of Miss Mar
garet Shirley, violin, Miss Fay Bick-
ford, piano, and Richard Higgins, cell
10. These three with another violin
ist. Arthur Burke, form a quartet
which will also be heard. Arthur
Busque will present very pleasing
violin solo and a cornet duet will be
played by OrvilIe Haskell and Shell
don Washburne.
The selections on this program will
be purely classical but there will be
such a variety of numbers that
everyone will be pleased with It.
Miss Thorne and the members Of her
orchestra are working hard upon the
program. and she feels sure that they
will present it In a manner that will
be a credit to them and to her as
their teacher and conductor.
