GALLAMO This program was excellently carried out by the pupils and was give11 especially for the parents and friends interested in our method of teaching loyalty and patriotism to the pupils. The P. E. 0. music nieniory contest was carried on with the four upper grades this year. The eighth grade class Won the prize, a beau- tiful cup, with a per cent of 99.43 perfect papers. This is the third consecutive year that this class has won the prize. They are very appreciative to the P. E. 0. organization for their interest shown in niusic in the Granirnar Department. The seventh grade ranked next highest in the contest with a per cent of 98.56. Since they do not have to compete against the present eighth grade next year they hope to be the victors. Each year the High School Inspector in his report to the secre- tary of the board of education has made mention of the organization and efficient functioning of the Gallatin Junior High. Though the organization is young it is our hopes that it will con- tine to grow and become as etticient as any such organization in the state.
