rqanizations HOBBIES DEVELOPED AT SCHOOL Proving the contention that a hobby does many things, among them the keeping of boys out of mischief, is the theme of the story that is told about a boy who was so mischievous that wherever he went trouble seemed to fol- low. His parents despaired of his ever doing anything but swipe cookies or tie tin cans on the dog next door. Finally in desperation they took him to a doctor who was an old friend of the family. The doctor after a long deliberation took the hoy into a corner of the room. and showing him a book on radio talked earnestly for half an hour. The parents never knew what the doctor said, but two days later there was a fully equipped radio shop in their empty garage, and after that they had no more than the usual amount of trouble with their son. This is just one of the many examples of what a splendid thing a hobby is, and many of our boys stay after school every Friday night to learn about short wave radio, while many more boys and girls are in the Civics or Hospitality Clubs. in the musical department or on the lioard of Control, just so they can have a hobby when they are older and working, that is apart from their regular business. NIARVIN lQOSENBURG. ORGNNTZATIONS AT J. H. The very life of a big, throbbing school like john llurroughs depends on its organizations. Without the Safety Committee our yards would not he clean and the street crossings would not he sa feg without the Cafeteria Helpers we could not economically produce the food neces- sary for the hungry boys and girls who hurry forth at 12:00 o'clock: and without the Stage Crew our assemblies could not he presented with such dispatch and so speedily. The Girls' League Councillors directing the girls in their activities. the lloard of Control setting forth the rules by which the school is governed. the Library Helpers aiding in the selection of your hook, and the Music t Jrganizations to play for all occasions, all of these and many others form a veritable huh on which activities outside of class turn.

THE PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA OF LOS ANGELES On June 11, 1919, the Los Angeles papers announced the organization of the Philharmonic Orchestra of Los Angeles, sponsored by William Andrews Clark, Jr. At that time the statement was made that the Orchestra would be organized and its concerts given under a condition as nearly perfect as possible. It was the intention of the founder to create and evolve as fine an orchestral institution as has existed in America. Nothing has been permitted to overshadow the pre-eminence of this one animating ideal. The founding of the Philharmonic Orchestra was not a sudden impulsive move on the part of Mr. Clark, but was the result of a mature deliberation and a carefully developed idea. Its successful evolution into one of the greatest musical organizations in America is due in great part to the intelligent devotion and unsparing attention given to the institution by its Board of Directors and Mr. Clark, who, with characteristic enthusiasm and thoroughness, personally supervises the varied details of its many activities. The first, most vital step was choosing a conductor who would cooperate in carrying out Mr. Clark's ideals. After thorough investigation as to who might be available the chair was offered to Walter Henry Rothwell, who has been conductor of the St. Paul Symphony for some years. The first concert was given at Trinity Auditorium October 24, 1919. Walter Henry Rothwell remained as conductor of the Orchestra until his untimely death March 12, 19275 Emil Oberhoffer finished out the 1926-27 seasonp George Schneevoigt, Finnish conductor, held the baton for the 1927-28 and 1928-29 seasons. Dr. Artur Rodzinski, Polish conductor, has been with the organization since the 1929-30 season. Dx. Aaron Ronzrxsxi.
