Prall, who has been able to give all his time to the senior and junior high school, we have been very active in the music de- partment. To most of us the most unexpected achievement has been the organization of a band which incjudes fifty-four boys and girls. The band made its debut at the Parent- Teacher Association on Fathers' Night when the boys and girls entertained fathers and mothers in the gymnasium. 1 'The senior high orchestra with forty-three members meets twice a. week and surely does show the result of hard work and careful supervision. We have played for the school plays and have given, a few programs in assembly. The junior high orchestra with thirty-seven members is progressing and will furnish material for the senior high school next year. - The boys' glee club whose forty-two members show considerable interest in their -work has given a program in assembly and also one for the Parent-Teacher Associa- tion. ' The girls' glee club with ninety-five members is the largest musical group. They also entertained on Fathers' Night at the Pa-rent-Teacher Association meeting and in additionisang over radio station WBMS on March 9. The comments of praise from their unseen audience were gratifying to the girls as well as to Mr. Prall. In the junior high the boys and girls ha-ve no glee clubs, but in separate music classes they are doing two- and three-part singing. g The Easter program in assembly was given by all the musical clubs, the boys' and girls' glee clubs being combined for the first time.
