THE ORCHESTRA
The first orchestra was organized in Mineral Wells High School in January,
1923. It was organized by the members of the Latin Club and started under
the name of the "Latin Club Orchestra," sponsored by Miss Layuna Hicks.
The orchestra furnished the music for all of the Latin Club programs and
also played for the various school activities.
The name "Latin Club Orchestra" did not last long, however. The mem-
bers played so well that someone called it the High School Orchestra and the
name has remained.
This is the third year of the "High School Orchestra", and the members
have progressed very rapidly under the direction of Miss Ella Saunders, super-
visor of music. Since Miss Saunders has become sponsor, they have learned
to play both classical and popular music.The members of the present orchestra
