Its purpose is to train young people to detect and to develop musical talent of the community in which they are to live, its motto being music is the language of the soul. It was first organized in 1904 in connection with Company A by E. R. Mosher. Commandant of the company. The continuous and neces- sary change in personnel from year to year makes it impossible for any great advancement, but does not detract from the enjoyment of practice. Its number varies from twenty to thirty-six. The band is under the leadership of Mr. Ackert. The term concerts were held January 13 and April 22. Clarinets: Jay St. John.

THE SNITCHER. 1937 STUDENT COUNCIL l matu, Kimpf. Wltcclilun, Ackcit, Newman, 1‘lluicuih, Itillcv, I’roidcm McMillan. President— FLOYD ACKERT Mechanic Arts Secretary- Treasurer— John WHEELIHAN -----------------------------------------------------------------Commercial Other Members— VlRCIL Newman Standard Normal LEO BlLLEY -----------------------------------------------------Junior College IDA PFLUGRATH --------------------------------------------------Home Economics Enright lematta High School Herbert Thiele Long winter Term President j. c. McMillan School President Recording Secretary— FLORENCE KEMPF The purpose of the Student Council as set forth in the constitution is to have control of the expenditure of the student activities money assigned to them and to initiate and supervise these student activities. The Student Council shall have the power, in conjunction with the faculty sponsor, to nominate the editor of the l:n Aye: also the editor and business manager of the Snitcher. Nominations for editorship of the I:n Aye and Snitchcr arc to be made not later than May I 5. The editors chosen will serve the following year. These are the official duties of the Student Council. A secondary purpose of the Student Council is to act as an intermediary between the student body and the administration of the school. Suggestions made by the students may in this way Ik presented to the administration by the Student Council and a pleasant and har- monious school life may be maintained. ' The first major project of the Student Council for the year 1936-1937 was to resurrect the Snitcher which had not been published since 1924. It was through their efforts that the Snitchcr staff was appointed and the work started. During the year they did something that had never been done before when they edited and had printed the Student Directory and Hand- book. At the close of the year they instituted another innovation in the first annual High School Senior Reception for the seniors from the seven surrounding counties. Interspersed among these activities were four outstanding school parties including the Thanksgiving. Christmas. St. Valentine's, and Easter parties. These have been characterized by good orchestras, beautiful decorations, and. more especially, wholesome good, times. —IDA PFLUGRATH. FLOYD ACKFRT. Thirty

There is no Musicke of Instruments whatsoever comparable to that which is made by the Voyces of Men. when the voyces are good, and the same well sorted and ordered. —William Byrd (1541-1623). master musician of Queen Elizabeth's time and founder of the English Madrigal school. The chorus is the greatest vehicle of musical expression because it is an orchestra of human instruments. —Dr. Wm. J. Einn. The N. I. Girls Glee club and the N. 1. Male Chorus arc tl e selected vocal ensembles of the campus. Offsprings of these organizations arc a few Sweet Adeline quartettes, a quin- tette and several vocal soloists worthy of the title. The completion of the above-mentioned folk, together with some thirty or forty volun- teer minstrels of the student body, comprise the N. I. Choir. This organization usually has a membership of seventy singers. For the past several years the N. I. Choir has given a Vesper service of Christmas music on the Sunday preceding the Christmas vacation. Among our other activities of the past few years we can list: taking part in assembly programs, assisting at recitals, giving Morning Musicals, a series of sacred programs, guests of out-of-town P. T. A. organizations, etc. One N. I. Male Quartette made over tlrrty out-of- town. over-the-state appearances in a term. We make annual Good Will tours, calling upon many of our high school friends. From our membership have come forth many who are holding leaching positions via batons. Be it folk song, college song or the Hallelujah Chorus, we strive to reflect that side of college life in which young people arc moving joyously, earnestly and hopefully on to the realization of a high purpose.
