By pant experience it 1ms been discovered that music is essential to form well-ba lanced t m r r i n I uni in the school. Dm to this re? is on and past prae tiros a Glee Club was again organized in tin I irmly Nigh School this year. Those wiio became members of the (ilee (Mnb were selected from the “roup by a test of their voices at the beginning of the year. This year the Glee (Mnh was under the direction of Miss Stockton. Fewer girls turned out for tryouts this year than usual In order to secure tin best results it was necessary to select girls from the seventh and eighth grades To fill tin places vacated by the absence of some of last year’s members. Because of interference of other school activities it was impossible to de- vote as much time to (ilee (Mid) as could have been done. However, during the latter part of the year it was possible to hold regular practices. a whole the girls have found that the (ilee (Mnb is a pleasant and worth- while activity. Joyce Garner.

This year for tin first time in tin history of tin 1 Irmly schools the work of tin 7th and 8th grades was departmentalized, giving the students the oppor- tunity of more intensive training in the four major fields of study— mathe- matics, social Science, English, and science, together with work in manual training, home making, and music, all under teachers trained especially in these fields. The junior high school pupils may tako part in certain school activities formerly open only to the senior division. Electa Peeler, Mildred Thompson, and Gladys Johnson are in the hand. Until Uouns, Gladys Johnson, Wilma Johnson, Kachel Jermunson, and Viola Zimhelman are. in the Glee Club. For many students the break from the eighth grade to high school is too great. The change is apparently too abrupt. With the junior high school arrangement the gap is filled and the passage from grade school to high school is more gradual. 'Though the junior high is new to us. we realize that it is not new in this country. It has been in use in the larger and more progressive schools for years. The idea is a natural growth from the study of tin needs of hoys and girl —another step in the progress of education. . s the modern truck and car is advanced over the ox-cart and horse and buggy days so it is felt that the junior high school provides enriched oppor- tunities only dreamed of in the crowded country school, with all grades and only a few minutes devoted to each recitation; and that the chance tor con- tacts, development of initiative and self-reliance, and varied program is far in excess of that possible in ;i one leaclier, one room nrrniigeinent.

For tin first tmu simr the establishment of the Hrady School, the prospects of the organization of a hand caused a flutter of excitement at the beginning of this School year. After much confusion, a varied assortment of instru- ments were at last assembled and experiments in finding and remembering correct notes were begun. Improvements gradually developed. The bund made its first public appearance at the senior play given on December oth. Again at the annual Christmas program it entertained. After the novelty of the first few weeks' activity had disappeared, seventeen mem- bers survived and began to concentrate on the hand as a whole rather than on their tunes and “miss tlines.'' At. the junior play, presented on March 27th, a smaller group performed. For its final apiwariniee the entire hand selected Activity Night on April 20th to exhibit their achievements for tin year. As only three of the members graduate this spring, there will undoubtedly he a bigger and better hand of experienced players next year. After such a favorable beginning, a musical organization of this type should, in a few years, become a decided credit to the lirady school. 23 Lelah Hill.
