' T. A. is to acquaint the parents with the school and its methods of teaching. The P. ' T. A. has done much lor the pupils in our school. It has prO ' vided free lunches and clothing for needy pupils. I think the P. ' T. A. is going steadily forward under the directions of our able officers. — Alice Sousa, L9 LIBRARY CORNER The library has been very busy this last term with many new books arriving. When our library opened in October 1937 there were 1,076 books; now we have 2,045. Very entertaining programs were planned by library assistants three times during the term. The assistants invited two friends and a guest speak ' er. Refreshments were served. Our first program was held in March 1939 with Miss Garvey, children’s librarian at the Berkeley Public Library, as our guest speaker. The library assistants had a flower show in our library on Open House Night. Each girl made a flower ar ' rangement. Interesting exhibits and pictures are always out for pupils to see; also many enjoyable books are on display. You are invited to come often to the library. ■ — Laurel Mae Gunnerson, H9

MUSIC IN THE BURBANK DANCE BAND In addition to the regular orches ' tra, Mr. Schott has organized a dance band The purpose of this work is to further the knowledge of the pupils in a different branch of music All Burbank is grateful for the tireless efforts of Mr. Schott in his wor k with the band and orchestra. The musical department of Burbank has grown in popularity because of the loyal sunpcrt and euthusiam Mr. Schott has shown in his worK. — Eugene Cline, H9 ORCHESTRA Our band is something to be proud of. It is composed of sixty-eight pieces with meetings twice a week. While Mr. Schott is taking the attendance we have a “warmup” period in which we tune our instruments and go over our pieces. We are seated according to the instrument we play and our ability to play it Our drum and bugle corps played in tee Armistice Day Parade last year. Many compliments were bestowed upon them. Our goal is to play at the Fair this year. With the assistance of our splendid director, Mr Schott, and the fine cooperation of the mem bers I am sure Burbank will deserve commendation. — Betty Jane Patton, H8 SENIOR CHORUSES Senior boys’ and girls’ choruses met twice a week with Mrs. Rhodes.
