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.

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.

Manual Training LKFT TO KlOHT: Homer A i matron David Curtis, Kichard Kauk, Or vest Kllinirson ; Mr. Seibert, instructor; A If Larsen, Harold Monson, Werner Gollehon. Manual training, si newly introduced course in llrndv High, proved as in- teresting and valuable to tin boys as did home economies to the girls. Al- though the equipment was limited and tin small space in the workshop was ami valuable. As practically every boy in high school and junior high enrolled in the upper division was composed of sophomore, jimor, and senior boys, and the lower class eontained the freshmen and junior high boys. As there was no study period necessary for the subject tlx allotted time for study was spent working in the shops. Not only were the essentials of construction taught, but to make the study more complete, t lit fundamentals of mechanical drawing were taught to each individual for one semester To accomplish this end more systematically each large class was divided into two sections, spending alternate semesters in mechanical drawing and woodwork. The sophomore, jnnioi, and senior class engaged in woodworking the first semester, ami spent much of its time in constructing projects and repairing needy parts in the school building and gymnasium. The remainder of the time was spent in completing individual projects for the student. JYobably no expert draftsmen were turned out by the drawing class, but nevertheless, a great deal of valuable informatum was received from the st iit 1 y ; in fact, the class in this course engaged in drawing ipiite complicated projects during the latter part of the semester. Tin materials used in constructing individual projects in the woodworking class was paid for by each student, while the school furnished practically all of the tools necessary to complete the different tasks which came before the classes during the year. It was also necessary for each individual to furnish his own drawing instruments and paper in the mechanical drawing class. .Although the cost of equipment was ijuite a burden to the school, it will he paid for many times by the benefit and education which is derived from the st nth .
