Music Our music teachers have been very busy this year with the training of their students for the numerous public appearances which have been made. Among the many appearances were the vocal and instru- mental concerts for the P.T.A. Smaller groups such as the Boys' Double Quartette and the German Band have performed before groups where it was impos- sible to bring the entire Choir or Band. The vocal department sang Christmas carols in three hospitals. All showed the united effort put forth in this field of education.

After the jolt, grammar, has been passed, they journey on smoother roads through Spanish customs and folklore until they feel like a real Senor or 'lSeriorita. The roll of the tongue in pronouncing Spanish reveals a result of the indolence of these people.
