Page 22 THE SCOTTY,GI..ASGOW.MONTANA Band and Orchestra in Novel Concert Series A departure from many years' custom this season is a series of three joint band-orchestra concerts, the first of which was given Friday evening, Dec. 2. The custom for many years has been one concert each year by each musical organization. That the new arrangement is popu- lar with both students and public was indicated by the enthusiastic reception Qven Mr. Schiesser and his student musicians in their first joint concert. The orchestra ren- dered the first half of the program and the band the last. A splendid tribute to the band and orchestra appeared editorially in The Glasgow Courier just prior to the first of this season's concerts. It was entitled Pay Dividends for Glasgow. We are happy to reproduce it here: Two organizations which for many years have far more than paid their way in publicity and prestige for Glasgow are the Glasgow high school band and orches- tra. Wherever either group has appeared, and the band especially has played in many cities of the state, it has brought a reaction which is extremely gratifying to home folks and has literally put Glasgow on the map as one of the school musical centers of Montana. On almost every local public occasion of importance the band or orchestra plays a major part in the program. These young musicians and their director, Henry Schiesser, have worked long and faithfully with two objectives in mind -to promote the interests of the community and to make the organizations two which become more credita- ble each year. This has been done with a minimum of financial support from the community and with a mini- mum of equipment. Whatever the community has done, it has been more than repaid. Director Schiesser this week announced a series of concerts, the first of which is to be given Dec. 2. There is no question that they will be full of entertainment value for anyone, regardless of musical tastes. And, in being entertained, each listener will know that he is 'helping to perpetuate the fine work r::::::::::::::::::::::::::f:::::::::::::::1 IF You WANT 'ro FILL UP jg ff try the . . .

Long, hard practice and expert training are main ingredients in making the band and orchestra a success but adequate equipment, new instruments are continually needed, too. There is no doubt in our mind that people of the community appreciate this fully and will act accordingly. FLASH! Scotty Goes to Town Glasgow has gone Highlander in a big way. Our town is named after the famous Scottish town and all the school organizations work in the name Highlander somehow. We have a Kiltie band with a Scotty mascot. The school magazine is called the Scotty -- or had you heard? The business places are starting to capitalize on the Scotch idea, too, Buttrey's have a rack of sport and school clothes under a canopy called the Scottie Shop. Cute, eh? P New Score Board installed Mr. Straugh and the basketball boys are grateful for the support and cooperation of the business men who made it possible to obtain the beauteous new scoreboard. California, Here He Comes The comedy team of Lebert, Vallandigham, Moe and Davis, Laughs for Children from Six to Sixty, Seven to Seventy, or Eight to Eighty, has lost its most spark- ling member, Byron Lebert, Jr. His departure for the sunny south, the land of Rose Bowl games and glamour guys and gals, leaves the school a much duller place around which to shuffle. We are looking forward, though, to when he comes again, all tall and golden brown.

THE SCOTTY,GLASGOW,MONTANA Page 2l FLARES ON THE Scotty, the Office Pup, Reviews Progress Over 12-Year Period Merry F ruitcake and Happy Wishbone, said Scotty to the editor cheerfully. That's right, Christmas is comingg l'll have to hustle in order to get my shopping done. That isn't all you have to do, Boss, retorted the pup, You've neglected me for so long now that l'm the most insignificant flea harbor on this side of the Mississippi. Get to work, tell folks about the good old alma mater l represent. Boost the school and l'm your Dutch uncle with four legs even when you're seeing double. The editor, Uperculatingn his mind to the fullest ex- tent, began numerating the important facts about the school. Twelve Years Under Present Administration Glasgow High School has been accredited by the Northwest Association of Secondary and Higher Schools. For the last l2 years, under the present administrator, the school has taken,great strides in its progress. It is organized under the 6-3-3 department plan, which only the larger schools in Montana use. Under this system the first six grades are grouped. The next three grades are the junior High School and the last three grades are the Senior High School. At present the faculty is composed of 22 teachers, not including the superintendent. There are a number of fac- ulty clubs organized for the purpose of studying in detail different subjects- The M. E. A. is the biggest organiza- tion. Cluricula Varied One of the most interesting classrooms is the science laboratory. Chester Griffin is in charge of this depart- ment. The latest equipment can be found in this room, where the mysteries of science are solved. Each year a certain amount of money is given to this department to keep it up to date. The commercial department, under the supervision of Adena Schumacher and Margaret Crest, is one of the best in the state. Students from this department have received state honors. The department is divided into two sections, typing and stenography. This year there is a total of I8 Underwoods and I4 l... C. Smiths in opera- tion. A new adding machine, mimeoscope and card cata- log index filing system were added as new equipment this year. The Industrial Education and Mechanical Drawing classes under Mr. Riikola are also worthy of praise: the boys and girls taking these subjects really enjoy them. It may be the novelty of sitting on high stools beside big tables, but the course of study fascinates them. Miss Edith Foss is in charge of the home economics department. These classrooms furnish a scene of great activity- Several improvements have been made during the last year. A new refrigerator and several new stoves were installed. , Miss K. Elizabeth Anderson, physical education su- pervisor, is one of the few in the state. She has charge of all recreation activities, including care of bus pupils during the lunch hour. The Smith-Hughes department, commonly known as Trade Training, is under the supervision of Howard Pet- ers. The shop has recently been enlarged, and many im- provements have been made. Glasgow High School has one of the best departments in the northwest. Another interesting and outstanding part of the plant is the part-time course and N. Y. A. project. Mack Monaco is in charge of these. Through N. Y- A. work the students receive federal aid, which helps them pay their school expenses. Mrs. Mildred Simonson, the new librarian, is doing much to improve our library. The increase in circulation of books proves that the students are becoming more interested in literary work. Outside Activities Are Numerous Many extra-curricular activities are prominent in the school. The Dramatics club, the Girls Athletic associa- tion, the Pep club and the Glee club are a few of the outstanding ones. The publicity department is a great booster for the school. The band and orchestra give the students an opportunity to develop their talents in music. Basketball and football are the leading sports. Grounds Under Improvement The school playground has furnished much entertain- ment for the smaller children. The equipment, which was donated by the Kiwanis club of Glasgow, makes our playgrounds among the best equipped in the state. The schoolgrounds are being landscaped under a fed- eral project. Grass is to be planted in front of the school, also shrubbery and trees. By spring it is hoped that the entire project will be finished- Shopward The shop boys have gone journalistic again. Their first shop bulletin of this year came out Nov. 29 and was full of things we never knew till now. From it we gather that the mechanics who go forth from Glasgow High frahl rahll will be able to take anything apart and see what makes it tick without calling the riot squad or the fire department to get it back together.

DISHING THE DIRT New Year's Resolutions as Heard by Scotty The greater part of the seniors have resolved not to hold another party till they hear the music and get a certain number to come first. 96 X- as Buntin's latest resolution is certainly holding. It was that he was going out to hook her in a big way. x- an as Aye, sir! As l was walking down the walk l heard Miss Peggy say this talk: My resolution is that l'm never going to college even if my dad tries to make me. What Scotty recommends for Peggy's resolution is a good thorough course in home economics, for August is a month of a-cute indigestion. as -14 vs I listened in at Pee Wee's house in Fort Peck. He made a two-in-one resolution. It goes like this: l, Pee Wee, resolve on my honor not to speed so much between Fort Peck and Glasgow, also, to take the curves much slower, for they're slippery these days and l may get a bent fender and fine for the weak brakes and the loose clutch l have. l promise, mamma! al -14 as Paul Dillon made a New Year's resolution by saying he would find a good steady girl. What's wrong with your cute sister, Paul, and she's as steady as they come? Celebration Monday, Nov. 26, the Home Ec laboratory was the scene of much joyous festivity. It was a birthday party for Miss Foss, given for her by Home Ec girls. The girls baked her a cake and Chet fOn the Spot, Griffin took pictures of the whole affair.
