Music The music work in H. T. II. S. has progressed rapidly and enthusiastically. Much praise is due each member of the different groups for his diligent and faithful work and to our talented instructor, Miss Ingle. She believes that all talent among students should be developed and works diligently to accomplish the same. The orchestra took up its work last fall from the same book which was used last year and has also completed the advanced book. There have been two periods each week for practice. The individual members will continue practice throughout the summer and lie ready for further progress next year. Tin personnnel of the orchestra is as follows: Genevieve Harper. Obligato Violin; Katherine Hess, Solo Violin; Harold Richard, Second Violin; Helen James, Second Violin; James Elder. Second Violin; Leo Aik man, Second Violin; Catherine Kerns. Cello; Elsworth Montgomery .Drums; Cleo Ferguson, Piano. The Male Quartet has learned many songs and sung on many different occasions. Milo llcskett, who was second base, has moved from the community and his place for the remainder of the year was taken by Joe Ilarsha. The members of tin quartet are: Charles Eaton, first tenor; Byron Nolan, second tenor; Stanley Reed, first bass; Joe Ilarsha, second base. A chorus of mixed voices has learned many classical selections written by famous musicians. The Freshman and Sophomore classes are combined to forma “Theory of Music class. There is much musical talent in the school and in the community and arrangements will be made to develope it even more next year.

On Monday at dinner time, Curly remarked, “Wonder what s the market on beef steers, today?” “Nine sixty-two,” replied John absently, then bit his lip in confusion. When they received the stock yard reports the next week they quoted the exact amount of that day. Curly remarked, “I tell you there’s something queer about that boy. 1 bet lie's one o' them mind readers or—” “Nonsense,” said the foreman. “But I wonder what he and Bed do in that upstairs room every evening? “I asked Ah Sin once, ’ Curly confessed, “and lie just grinned and said, ‘Mr. John reads books and works on machine'—typewriter, I reckon.” A dry spell set in about this time, and they were kept busy shifting the herds to fresh pasture and looking after waterholes. The predicted rains failed to arrive. One blistering day as the foreman was helping drive some cattle across the south range, he happened to glance toward the ranch house. A white cloth fluttered from the signal pole. He yelled at the boys and they started for home at a break-neck pace. This signal meant for all hands to drop work immediately and ride for home. When they dashed up to the house, John with the help of Ah Sin was carrying boxes and suitcases to the storage cave near the kitchen. He paused long enough to shout excitedly, A tornado is coming! It has gone through the forest reserve and is headed this way!” The men looked at the sky. There was a black heap of clouds at the horizon which was advancing rapidly. A few minutes later the whole western horizon was one big greenish-black bank with a little inky, funnel-shaped cloud dancing along before it. At times the funnel swept down to the ground; again it leaped, whirling high in the heavens. They all entered the cave ami Red closed and bolted the heavy doors as the first gust of wind went shrieking past. At last it had passed, leaving behind it destruction. The cowboys ventured out. The stables, shed and corrals had disappeared. But the ranch dwelling was unharmed. “How did you know the storm was coinin’?” asked Curly of John. “The ranger in tin forest reserves told me by wireless,” replied John. “He barely had time to eall me before his station was wrecked.” “Wireless!” gasped Shorty. “D’ye mean to say you’ve got one o’ them wireless telegraphs?” “Telegraph!” cried Red scornfully. “John’s got an up-to-date radio outfit you can talk and hear over.” It seems that J. B. had become interested in the radio and had sent John out to experiment with a portable broadcasting machine and a loop aerial. One of the young rangers in the forest reserve had purchased a small radio outfit and the two boys had been in communication all summer. Red explained that they had gone upstairs of an evening to hear concerts and hear speeehes. “Hev!” shouted Curly. “Let's tote them boxes back and set up that machine. Mebbo we can catch J. B. in the air somewhere and tell him what a fine guest he sent us and what fools we’ve been.” —1XKZ AIRMAN.
