Mr. F. A. Ringrose . . . and taught . . . the method of playing . . . the desired instrument. Fresh- men . . . sophomores . . . girls . . .and boys . . . no one is excluded . . . from a class . . . of musical training. But . . . musical training . . . does not include . . . training . . . on only one instrument . . .

Christmas plays . . . carol- ling . . . and commencement exercises.
