5 How :ra vnu, soaeot TRAINS ron Music ' Can you imagine a boy or girl entering high sohoa who had never heard a note of music? Imagine how you would feel if you could never hear any music again during your lifetime. Even little babies know and appreciate music. Some long remembered songs have been composed by mothers singing lullabies to their children. Think of all the songs that are composed by nature, especially the songs of the birds the song of the wind, and the babbling of little brooks. As soon as children are old enough to talk, they learn to sing---some from the radio and some from their older bro- thers and sisters, Then when they are ready for school, they know something about music. From the first grade on they are taught music, dancing, and instrument playing from a special teacher, hired by the school board for this special work. Even the teachers have been brought up from children to appreciate music and have chosen for their life work. Soon the children enter high school. Here they are taught to appreciate music even more, if possible. There are the orchestra, operettas, glee club, and several things to help student to learn to love music. This may even be an in- spiration for them to take music for their life work. First, in the list of training to me comes the orches- tra. The three main things the orchestra teaches are disci- pline, mental training, and artistic values. All of these help us with our school work, our outside life, and the life that is before us. After these things are once learned, they are never forgotten. Let me explain briefly these principles I have just mentioned. Under the main principles of the orchestra are various steps. First, there is teamwork, for no undertaking, great or small, can be a success unless the participants can and will work together. Another step is courtesy. How much this means to the conducter cannot be fully expressed. An- other great step is responsibility, which helps us not only on the orchestra, but also in school work and in outside life. Concentration comes as another step. What does this mean to an orchestra? If the members weren't always concen- trating on the selections they are playing, the selection would be worse than if not played at all. Uur high school orchestra is new a ycrr old, but in this short time, we have realized, during our participation at rehearsals and in en- tertainments---the value of these great principles.How could the world get along without music? What a dreary, empty world it would be! Some of the artists of music would never have been discovered if there had not been music in schools. To-day we have discovered as never before the need for music in schools. We can truthfully agree with Shakespeare, who said,HThe man that hath no nusic in himself, nor is not mov' with Concord of sweet sounds, is fit for treasons, stratagem and spoils. The motions of his sairit are dull as night and his affections dark as Erebus: Let no such man be trusted. Mark the music. New Towle 40'

6 HOW OUR HIGH SGHGOL TRAINS FOR AGRICULTURE Can you imagine a boy of high school age in a small country school? A Many such boys 6UtBT'UIgh school with no outlook on life or without a vocation to enter 'into after' graduationt Many of these boys go through highcschool and-come out-anew prepared for any work and not knowing what their life work will be. This is a cause for a great many unemployed men in our country. A great help to these boys is the value of Man- ual Training and Vocational Agriculture. - Manual Training is taught in many high schools in the United States, but the subject greatly increasing in popu- larity and in the number enrolled in the public schools of nearly every state in the union iw Vroational Agriculture. I will try to give you a brief article on how Vocation- al Agriculture is taught in our school.

The notes for these books we get from tcxtoooks,bnilehins sent out by the exten- ign Service of the state, and magazines pertaining to age r cu ure. About once a month we take the magazines and go over them carefully, bringing out the important and unusual de- tails. We also leavn the principles of raising crops and livestocki We also learn the control of parasites and di- 8688880 Although this is only the second year that we have had Vocational Agriculture, there are more than twenty-five boys enrolled in it, - With a Vocatgonal Agr ca ture Training, a young man coming out of high school, aeed never worry about being un- employed, because n natter that hanpens in this world,there is alvayz a unei for agriculture products. Even in war they are needed, CHU also in peac. troy, Harold Gilbert '41
