THE GLEANER
taineQ to conduct this orchestra, composed of about twelve pet- formers. That winter and the next much progress was made by hard practice and the orchestra was able to play at the Com- mencements those years, besides several meetings of the Liter- ary Society.
In the Fall of 1925, on account of the graduation of many of the members of the orchestra of the previous years, Mr. Ball and Mr. Chamberlain decided to form a new organization under
the management of the Collegiate, composed of students and ex-students. As Mr. Dixon had discontinued his orchestra, many performers were available who were only too glad to help out the school. These, together with several members of the Band, were infused into a well-balanced orchestra which appeared on several occasions besides playing for the Commencement. The appearance of this orchestra caused quite a C<)mment locally, and if the organization continues, much may be expected of it.
The school, as well as the orchestra and the community as a whole, are greatly indebted to Mr. Ball and Mr. Chamberlain, whose united efforts have brought about the success of the C. C. I. Orchestra. ยท
