Hanna Rosenberg in Orpheons music club

  [editorial]

Harmony . . . vocal and instrumental

Strictly upper-class! That's Orpheons, the music club for juniors and seniors only. But it isn't only the membership qualifications that are "high-grade" - so are the musical talents and contributions of the members.

Some of this talent was put on display in the annual Orpheons assembly, where every person in the audience, no matter what his taste or fancy, heard his kind of music, as club members offered selections from Bach to boogie.

For the benefit of jazz lovers, Orpheons proudly lent their back to the "Fish Fry Five," a red-hot quintet of student Dixielanders who gave out with their blues renditions like Old South jazz masters.

Nearly every kind of musical instrument is represented in Orpheons. Trumpets and trombones, saxophones and sopranos, pianos and piccolos - all are mediums through which club members find their common interest. Each person has an opportunity to share his type of music with the entire group at least once during the year, for every Orpheons meeting features several solo numbers or musical skits presented by club members.
