1941-1942 Yearbook

With by for the largest membership in recent years, forty, and under the baton of Mr . William Laos , the orchestra contributed much to the musical culture of the school . Faithfully, they attended the three weekly rehear - sals and as a result gave praiseworthy performances on all occasions. The first lyceum number was on orchestra concert which carried out a patriotic theme . A program was presented at Searcy High School and one in Chapel. Two short concert tours were taken and in the final lyceum the annual variety show with the girls' glee club was given . Edwin Stover acted as concertmaster and Dale Von Patten was assistant in charge of woodwinds. A string tri<>--Edwin Stover, violinist ; Irl Stalcup, cellist, and Christine Neal, pianist- entertained at banquets, teas, and clubs.
