-THE IVY LEAF VOICE DEPARTMENT Mrs. Allen Hinckley, a woman of wide experience in the musical world, has charge of the voice department. Besides the two big events of the year, the annual Glee Club Concert and the Comic Opera, given at Commencement, the Glee Club has performed for different civic or- ganizations. The recitals given by the voice students have been ve1'y creditable. The Lower School has been very active during the year. Their Christmas program of Folk songs was very much enjoyed by all of the parents, as were also the songs given for the Minerva Club of Topeka.

Choir practice is held twice weekly, in preparation for morning and evening chapel, and other services. The girls furnish the music for several special services during the year. Before Christmas vacation, a carol service was given in the chapel and at Ingleside. The Story of the Cross was sung in the chapel on Good Friday. Perhaps the three most important services of the year are those held in the cathedral, the first being the choral Communion service sung at early Easter Communiong the second, the Baccalaureate serviceg the third, the Commence- ment of the school.

T H E I V Y L E A F JYKZMU Teparfmefzt The musical department has at its head Miss Katharine H. Wood, and her assistants are Mrs. Burkhart and Miss Nyman. Mrs. Betty Hinckley is the voice instructor in the school, and Mr. William Bunsen of Kansas City, teaches violin. PIANO The piano department this year is the best, both in size and quality, that the school has had for a number of years. There are several very good pianists among the students, and the department has been called upon quite frequently by various clubs in the city to furnish piano numbers for their sessions. Two of the pupils who took their certificates last year-Rosamond Nyman and Mary Livingston-will receive diplomas in June, having completed the required amount of work in piano, theory and musical history. They have written some very creditable songs in their composition class and have appeared in public often as pianists during the past season. Agatha Bean, another good performer, will be awarded a certificate. Space does not permit of special mention of the excellent work of many of the other students, but those who have heard the recitals which have consisted of works by the best composers of classical, romantic and modern music, have been enthusiastic over the interpretation and rendition of the works performed.
