One of the outstanding extra-curricular activities this past year was the Gem City mixed chorus, spon- sored by the Y.M.C.A. and directed by Paul Pfeiffer, a Gem City student who is one of Quincy's leading younger musicians. The group met regularly and produced some beautiful chorals. They not only received valuable trainin in group singing but were carefully trained in music appreciation. This will prove of im- mense value to them in later life.

This is originated, edited and produced by the students interested in Journalism with the adyice and supervision of Miss Virginia Barteltt. It has much value, fOr those Students who are interested in newspaper work can get some practical experience. Th1S, Wlth Shorthand training, will assist them in going ,much farther in their chosen business. A secretary Wlth the added knowledge that comes from the practical production of a journal, is hound to advance faster than one without such experience. A few years ago, Miss Iona Cole, because of her knowledge of journalism and shorthand, won a trip to Europe. :Fi-. situ eel H I I my I mv-H?',, Rzidlllw Cirsixlfv' iiliiifmi' Q .

Legible penmanship is rapidly becoming one of the lost arts. Gem City believes that everyone should write a good, rapid, legible type of penmanship. In many instances one's penmanship is the deciding, factor in being chosen for a job. For that reason we teach penmanship in our business course and under our super- vision and training large numbersof young men and women improve their handwriting. With the instruc- sf' C tion given by us the improvement in writing is remarkable. Each year we have a contest covering the best writer and the mostl improvement, both boy's and girls. The above group are among those who made the most improvement during the course.
