C0NY HIGH STUDENT
ORCHESTRA TO Give
CONCERT PROGRAM

The Cony High School orchestra
OF Il pieces, under the direction of
MISS Gertrude Thorne, supervisor of
music IN the public schools of this
city, Is now working upon a very
nne program, which will be present.
ed In the form of a concert next
spring. This program will include
not only numbers by the full orcaes-
ira but several selections by smaller
groups, chosen from among the
members of the orchestra.
1hls organization is a particularly
well balanced one and under Miss
Thorne's able direction they are pro-
crossing finely with their musical
work. Particularly pleasing is it to
Miss Thorne that despite the consid-
cradle demands which their music
makes upon their time, several
members have maintained an aver
age in all studies which places them
upon the list of general honors, COM
piled after the close of each six
weeks ranking period, one has an
average sufficient to attain highest
honors, and several more are very
close to receiving general honors.
Miss Olive Bowditch has secured
highest honors. which requires
rank of 80 or better in all subjects,
while John Lizotte. Elwood Button.
Donald Manning, Barbara Frost and
Marguerite Tapley were credited
with general honors, which requires
SO or better in all subjects. Four
others missed this last group by
very narrow margin and it is ex-
pected that the next ranking period
will show even more of the men,
bers Of the orchestra on the rolls.

Service schools conducted for over
10 years, both at the factory and in the
larger cities from coast to coast, have
been attended by service managers,
shop foreman and mechanics sent in by
the dealers from the surrounding ter
ritories. The information regarding
the latest and best in shop methods and
labor saving tools which these men
have taken back with them to their re-
spective service stations has helped to
improve the already high standard of
Dorge Brothers service everywhere.
Dodge Brothers believed that it was
possible to systematic and improve
the practices and methods in their ap-
proved service stations to. a point
