person take a part in the program
sometime during the year. Another
announcement was that the director
of the orchestra will be back again
this year and that he will try to make
the Smyrna High School Orchestra
one of the best. Everyone interested
in music was asked to join or do what
they could to help. Mr. Schantz gave
much encouragement for the coming
year. After this talk all joined in
singing, the songs being directed by
Miss Graham. At one-thirty they re-
turned to their rooms to continue with
their studies. Along the line of mu
sic and entertainment the Smyrna
High School orchestra is expected to
be a great success this year. 1t will
be directed by Mr.. F. @. Schlooster Of
Baltimore, who is a very good music
ian. He represents the Conn Baltl-
more Company and has charge Of the
direction of school bands and orches-
tras of Delaware and eastern Mary
land, which proves that he is very
capable director. The orchestra had
its first meeting last Friday, Septem-
Der 23 Although not many Of the
members presented themselves at this
first meeting of the school year, en-
couragement is expected to bring
forth goodly number next week. The
