CHOIR AND ORCHESTRA GIVE CONCERT

With a trained chorus of sixty voices and an orchestra of thirty pieces, the annual concert given by the College Choir and Orchestra was held in Webster Hall. The Dartmouth String Quartet assisted in the program.

The choir varied its program with Dudley Buck's arrangement of "Annie Laurie," Bullard's dramatic part song "Swords Out for Charlie," and Gounod's solemn First Orpheonist Mass, with orchestra accompaniment. Since there is no organ in Webster Hall, this part was scored for wood and brass instruments, allowing the full orchestra to accompany.

The more pretentious of the selections which the orchestra gave' were the Egmont Overture of Beethoven and Meyerbeer's Coronation March from "The Prophet." The string quartet composed of C. E. Griffith, Jr., '15, first violin, F. W. Bailey '16, second violin, H. W. Wetherbee '16, viola, and H. O. Parkinson '13, cello, rendered pieces of a lighter nature.
