THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

GRADE SCHOOL HAS ORCHESTRA OF 30 PLAYERS Irvington Group Started With Few Instruments, Says Principal. i How many instruments are necessary to organize an elementary school orchestra? This question, often asked, has been answered by Miss Helen Loeper, principal at Irvington school. To start the orchestra all the instruments needed are a violin, or cornet, a drum perhaps, and a piano., says Miss Loeper. Any number of flourishing orchestras in the elementary schools trace their growth from such humble beginnings. The motive power is an interested teacher whose enthusiasm can hold the little group together until it ■ can play "America” or a simple march acceptably enough to perform for the school. This critical stage passed, others ask for permission to : join the ensemble. Each public performance arouses further de- . termination on the part of youth- ! ful aspirants to learn to play well enough to join the orchestra. Started Small An example of the development ;of an orchestra from a small en- ! semble is that of the Irvington school. Ten years ago the orchestra | consisted of several violins, piano and a toy drum, and the drummer | could not read notes. For two years i the orchestra struggled for existence, kept alive only through the enthusiasm and persistence of Miss Loeper, who directed the group. Today the orchestra numbers thirty players, seventeen violins, one cello, four clarinets, two cornets, one saxophone, one xylophone, two drums and a piano. A substitute pianist is included. At one time the orchestra had an oboe player, but he has graduated. Orchestra Training Excellent Membership in an elementary ! school orchestra is excellent trainI ing for instrumental students, Miss : Loeper says. Many boys and girls j have been able to make the high | school orchestra because of their proficiency in ensemble playing, de- | veloped through the team work of the elementary school orchestra, i Aside from the benefit to the in- ! dividual student, the benefit to the | school is also to be considered. The school orchestra is an asset to the building. It fills many needs, playing for marching, for special school programs, for the Parent-Teacher Club, for field day exercises, for chorus work and for community I gatherings.

Charts were made showing the plotting of existing shrubbery and suggesting various arrangements and distribution of color in the proposed tulip beds. A rainbow effect, bordering the shrubbery wa., chose n. At the entrance to the building are the yellow Moonlights, favorites of the primary children.
