Lane McGregor called the as sembly to order by announcing Anne Wrenn, who gave the devo tions. Announcements by Mr. Routh followed the devotions. Mr. Harriman directed the Orchestra, and Mr. Fredrickson introduced the selections played by telling a brief story of the life of the composer. To open the program the Orchestra played “The Titus Over ture.” The composer of this se lection, Mozart, lived a short life of thirty-five years, yet his name has been passed down as one of the greatest musicians that ever lived. After listening to his fa ther give his sister her piano les son each day, he could play the exercises from memory. He was only three at this time. At the age of five he composed a very diffi cult concerto for piano with orchestral accompaniment. The Austrian Emperor was convinced of the rumors of his talent when he sent for him at the age of six. The next number on the pro gram was a “Suite” by the modern British composer, Gustav Holst. The short related compositions under this title were “Chaconne,” “Intermezzo,” and “Marche.” A selection played by only the string section was chosen for the third number. It called for three groups of solo instruments: two violins composed the first group played by Joe Lowdermilk and Bill Bost, two violins composed the second group played by Lutz Meyer and Bob Bell, and a deeper tone was obtained by the third group composed of two cellos played by Martha Leonard and Mary Kearney. This selection “Concerto Gross! Op. Six Number Eight,” was composed over two hundred and fifty years ago bv Corelli. The Orchestra will play these three numbers at the state con test, which will be held at Wo man’s College, April 23. For the last several years the Orchestra bias been awarded a superior rating, which is the highest given at the contest. The highlight of the program was a piano solo with orchestral, accompaniment played by Betty Lou Cresdy of the clarinet section of the Orchestra and a member of the High School Concert Band, This rendition, “Hungarian Fan tasy,” was written by Franz Liszt one of the world’s greatest pianist. To conclude the program the Orchestra played “South Pacific' by Richard Rogers and Hammer stein. This was arranged by Ben nett and taken from the original Broadway musical. Yost and Little !
