To choose any one star would be a rather difficult task, inasmuch as all took their parts splendidly and some real, natural talent was displayed- The work of the students was a convincing demonstration of their sincerity of purpose and their appreciation of the advantages offered them through the schools to participate fn this cultural branch of education. The scene of the play was laid in the office of Hotel Mullet at Matasquam, Connecticut, with each of the three acts being a few days apart. John Bruce, enacted by Bob Peterson, returns to his home town after twenty years to build a factory for his people, but the land necessary for his factory is owned by his enemy, Abner Ketcham, who refund to sell it and has planned to convert it into a cemetery.

( --Elmer--H Awarded Fifth Chair Out of Ten In String Bass Section of State Orchestra Miss Dorothy, Fisher of the Mc- Hfenry Community high school was accepted for the Illinois All-State High School Orchestra at the University of Illinois at Champaign last week, being awarded the fifth chair out of teh in the string "bass section; This is an outstanding honor for Miss Fisher, who plays the string, bass in the high school orchestra, as well as for the local high school, for there were many from other cities who were unsuccessful in their attempt ;o win a place in the orchestra and were obliged to return home disappointed. The orchestra was composed of 146 members, coming from all over the state, and this being its third annual meeting, was said to have been the best and most successful one tkbs fkr. Miss Fisher, in company with Miss Lillian Doherty, arrived at Champaign Wednesday noon, where the latter attended the State Teachers' conference. Miss Fisher went immediately to her try-out and as soon as she was accepted she joined the rehearsals, which constituted three periods of three hours each during the three days of the meeting. It was not a pleasure trip in any sense of the word, for the time was filled with rehearsals, which commenced about 8 o'clock in the morning, the second period began about 1 o'clock fhd the third about 7:80 -o'clock in the evening. The orchestra was conducted by Raymond F. Dvorak, instructor of music at the University, at all of its rehearsals with the exception of two numbers, which were directed by Prof. A. A. Harding, the rehearsals being held in the band building it the University. On Friday evening the orchestra gave a concert in the auditorium of the University for the teachers in attendance at the state conference and on Saturday morning the concert was repeated for the superintendents and principals present^ for the state conference. Following thfe concert Friday night * party was given for the members of the orchestra, where one of the best dance orchestras furnished music for dancing. The selection of an all-state orchestra stimulates interest in the classical music of the orchestra and sets a goal, which is an incentive for the high scfyol pupil to strive for. The experience was an interesting and a novel one for Miss Fisher and one which she would not have missed for anything. The repertoire of the all-state orchestra was as follows: Symphony No- 1--Bethoven. Allegro Con Brio. Andante Cantabile Cos Moto. Menuetto. Allegro Molto. Nutcracker Suite--Tsehaikowsky. a.--March. h.--Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy. c---Dance Trepak. d.---Arabian Dance. e.--Chinese Dance. f.--Waltz of the Flower*. Waltz for Strings--R. Volkman.

II COMBINED ORCHESTRAS ON PROGRAM Sponsored By Mothers Club and Catholic Daughters, Proceeds Te Be "Used For Relief Work Following the spirit of the season McHenry will have its first charity event on December 11, when the combined orchestras of the Dundee, Crystal Lake and McHenry high schools will give a concert at the local high school auditorium. The concert will be sponsored by the Mothers Club and Court Joyce Kilmer, Daughters of America, these two organizations to receive the net proceeds, which will * be used for charity work before the Christmas holidays. The concert has already been given at Dundee and Crystal Lake, where it met with success at both places and where the proceeds also went for charity. At Dundee the concert was sponsored by the Womans club Carpentersville and the big auditorium was filled to capacity with nearly 1,000 people in attendance The program promises to be one of unusual talent and ability and will be composed of tj»e best musical talent of the three schools, who have planned a most interesting and varied program to please their listeners. Sixty Musici&m In Orchestra The orchestra will be composed of at least sixty musicians and ' the stage of the local auditorium will be packed to capacity to accommodate all of them. There will be selections by the'entire orchestra as well as special numbers and it is hoped that people will respond to the efforts of the young people and fill the auditorium to capacity. By packing the audience into every available space the auditorium will hold about 600 people and thial. will provide a very fine revenue for the members of the two organizations to be used in their relief work. Tickets will be sold in advance, with each society receiving the proceeds from the number of tickets its members sell, so that it depends on just how hard the members work as to how much each society will receive. This promises to be a red letter day for McHenry and will be the biggest event of its kind ever staged for a charitable cause in this city. Make your plans now to attend this big program on December 11 and show your appreciation of good music, show that you are backing the young people in their efforts to assist and show that you approve of the movement sponsored by these two organizations of our dty.
