We now have in addition to our violins, a clarinet, a cornet and an E flat alto horn. A new feature in the music department is a girls' quartette, composed of Frankie Wheeler, Ruth Frensley, Geneva Bowen, and Evelyn McBride. Their first public appearance was on a program at Reservoir Park. Fourfpart music is hard but this quartette will get it. Next comes our SeventhfGrade Chorus. The boys are still outfnumbered but not out classed. Our most outstanding group is, of course, our Girls' Glee Club which numbers about fortyffive. Sixteen of this group represented us in the state contests this year, and though we didn't win first place, we learned lots and the losing didn't dampen our spirits. f Page Nineteen

Two boys are making boats and John Campbell has finished his aeroplane and is working on another one. Robert Earl Hayes is making a large aeroplane. Some of the models which are already made we hope to put in the Hobby Fair. We have had a nice baseball team this term and have enjoyed playing with the other hobbies. crap lliook fijlub Mn. Boyuzs, who likes a scrap, had scrap books for his hobby, but he did not find very many pupils who cared as much for scrapping as he does. About a dozen scrap books were started and four or five were completed very nicely. Hhe Dramatic and llieaoling Lflflub THE DRAMAHC AND READING CLUB was organized in the fall term with an enrollment of seventy. Miss Mamie Booth was sponsor. When the Club met, a part of the period was devoted to the reading of stories, some of which were Battle of the Bluffs, Sam Davis, The Fall of the Alamo, and Sam Houston. The remainder of the period was given to dramatics. In the spring term the enrollment was decreased and attention was given entirely to dramatics. Members of the Club presented several programs in the hall at the activity' period, assisted by guest entertainers. The work in our Club has been very pleasant, the students showing an interest in the programs outlined and a willingness to work them out.

Some of the most interesting ones took up the different styles of domestic architecture with suitable furnishings for each. In the selection of material for the books good taste, simplicity and economy were emphasized. After Christmas a number of boys joined the hobby, which influenced the type of work done. Since then the programs have included music, contests, games, puzzles, reading and telling stories. Since the weather has turned warm several hobby days have been spent playing ball and running relays. Y arble Hournament THE FINALS of the marble tournament were held May 1, at the school.
