ORCHESTRA THIS YEAR

The Douglas high school is to have
a band and orchestra. A meeting
of all the students who are Interest,"
ed in music was held at the high
school Tuesday night, during which
a musical organization, under the
direction of Morris Davis, was form
ed. The band will be organized at

The idea of the organization is to
take all the students who can play
musical instruments and build the
band and orchestra about these ex-
perienced players. A canvass re-
Gently conducted at the high school
showed large number of musical
instruments among the students, in
10 v.olins, saxophones and
other instruments. A total of SO
students expressed desire to JOIN
one or both of the musical organlza-
tions.
Ralph E. Souers, superintendent CT
the Douglas schools, stated Tuesday
that credits in music VIII be allowed
all students who participate in either
the band or orchestra I'VE feel
that the prospects are very good for
both a good band and orchestra, /.

popular robin Hood" and "The
Thief of Bagdad," the story of "The

the pen of Elton Thomas. 1t was
