The Drum and Bugle Corps At present the Kennard School has a Drum and Bugle Corps com- posed of forty boys. It is a distinct honor to be accepted as a member of this organization as it is a self-governed body, and no pupil may belong who is not reliable and trustworthy. The older boys teach, drill, and discipline the younger boys. The Corps plays every morning during the flag raising exercises, at which time the entire student body salutes the flag. The Mothers' Circle provided the new uniforms this year, which are to be worn upon public appearance.

The Graduating Class of June 1936 The class of June, 1936, has nineteen graduates, eleven girls and eight boys. Perfect attendance for the term is recorded for the fol- lowing pupils: Arthur Brownlie, Eugene Potucek, Jeanne Ann Splackler, Lloyd Steinmeyer. Eugene Potucek entered Kennard School September, 1930, and has had five years of perfect attendance. This is the fourth consecutive year that he has been present every day. The Graduating Exercises will be held on Wednesday, June 10 at one-thirty p. m. in the school auditorium. The subject of the program will be Eugene Field, the children's poet. Since the birthplace of Eugene Field is now the property of the St. Louis Board of Education and as it is to be a shrine for St. Louis children this topic is of general interest.

The Kindergarten Orchestra The Kindergarten orchestra provides a medium through which the child may express himself and through which he may ultimately be made conscious of music as something which plays an important part in life. At first, just as a phase of rhythmic response and training, then a sensing of different rhythms, and later the different tempos sug- gested by the different types of music, the Kindergarten orchestra provides a real and delightful approach to music appreciation, as well as a means of arousing an interest in instrumental music. Such instruments as the triangle, toy drum, sand-paper blocks, bells, and other primitive tone producing instruments are used as an accompaniment to simple rhythmic compositions played upon the piano. All of the Kindergarten children receive this training, taking turns at playing various instruments.
