THE CENTENNIAL MUSIC The Big Sandy High School’s department of music, directed by Oren A- Henning has made a considerable progress in music this past year. Both high school and grade students have taken an active part in the orchestra. There are fifty pupils enrolled on the following instruments: violins 22, cornets 7, tuba 1, trombones 4, drums 2, saxaphone 1, piano 2, altos o, clarinets 7, cello 1. Ail but nine of these are beginners within the last! year on their chosen instruments. The band and orchestra combined put on the following numbers for the band concert April 23: “Blue Bells of Scotland,1” “Waltz Dearest,” “Melody in F”, and “Auld Lang Syne.” These were put across successfully con- sidering the time of practice for the majority of the participants. The orchestra is now working hard to play a number of selections for the commencement exercises. The selections are as follows: “The Siren,” “Activity,” Patriotic Overture,” “Auld Lang Syne,, and “Waltz Dearest.” Orchestra The same group with the exception of a few, perhaps, will be back next year. More can be accomplished next year as we have the benefit o£ this year’s experience. As for the Glee Clubs, not so much has been done in this line. The boys work being interrupted by the terrible menace called “smallpox” since the beginning of last semester, have not been able to accomplish as much as they might have. The girl’s being in good condition have carried their work on through. Girls’ Glee Club The joint Glee Clubs will sing “In the Garden by the Sea” for the ocir ir.tnccmcfnt exercises'. The majority of the “song birds” have had but little training in this line so we cannot expect as much from them as we will in the future. We wish to extend our many thanks to our instructor, Mr. Henning, who has aided and guided us during the past year. MYRTLE CHRISTOFFERSON.

THE CENTENNIAL speaking contest and after two eliminations, Ruth Johnson, Eleanor Hetland, Dan Cushman, Robert Moe and Verlin Hurd were selected for the final try- out. Eleanor Hetland was chosen to represent our school at the contest held in Havre. Due to not knowing the time limit, she did not talk long enough, consequently did not place. In order to select the students to enter the scholarship' contest held in Havre, April 23, tests were given in the various classes to be represented, the two receiving the highest grades being the representatives. The names •of the students and the subjects they entered are as follows: English I—Mary Bowden, Mary Benbow. Algebra—Luella Larson, Gladys McDonald. Geometry—Helen Korner, Robert Collins. Current Events—Helen Mills, Ruth Green. American History—Myron Ensley. Dorris McMillan. Literature—Ruth Green, Dorris McMillan. Physics—Mildred McCoy, Celia Larson. Helen Mills and Emma Pokorny were to have written in World History and Ruth Green and Doris McMillan in Chemistry, but for some unknown reason the questions in these subjects did not arrive. Helen Korner tied for iirst place in Geometry, Mildred McCoy placed second in Physics, and Helen Mills third in Current History. Helen Korner entered the state contest held in Bozeman, April 28 and 29. Several Students signed up for declamation under the supervision of Miss Riddle. Only seven continued throughout, namely, Adella Ophus, Emma Pokorny, Eleanor Hetland, Helen Korner, Verlin Hurd, Frank Pokorny and Nick Haburchak. The final try out was held in the Community Hall, April 26. One boy and one girl being eligible to enter from each school, Verlin Hurd and Eleanor Hetland were chosen. The district contest was held in the Community Hall, Saturday evening, May 7. Eleanor Hetland placed second and Verlin Hurd third. MILDRED McCOY, ’27 Several high school boys went .fishing and Elmer Liiidstrom, who was with them, never caught any fish. The boys caught him throwing his bait into the creek. They asked him the reason for doing this. He said: “I’m getting their confidence now; after while I’ll hook ’em.”
