The Lower School as well as the Upper School has had a better opportunity than ever before to extend their knowledge in singing and listening. ln addi- tion to Glee Club and Tuesday singing in assembly each week, there are music appreciation classes for both the Lower and Upper Schools. At Christmas time the members of the Glee Club were . asked to sing over KLZ. Kent had good reason to be proud . of their performance. The work the Glee Club has been ' 9 doing this year has consisted largely of three-part songs which they have sung before the school at Christmas time, during Poetry Week, in Chapel, and at May Day and Commencement. Though they can't be considered per- fect, under Miss Rasor's skillful direction they are certainly improving. Tuesday singing has become something the entire Upper School anticipates. We've not only learned many YJ new songs, but we've learned how to sing them. ln the music appreciation classes, the girls have learned how to recognize the different parts of a symphony as it is played. Suites, Concertos, and sonatas also have been subjects for analysis. The interest stimulated by our music activities has built an appreciation of lasting value for each one of us. On Tuesday morning you can hear us sing . . With lusty notes, Hey ding a-ding aedingf'

ef- O The l94l Circus was celebrated by a trailer trip through Kent. All of Americas most interesting spots were viewed as the largest crowd of tourists the school has seen in many years tripped through gaily-postered halls. The travelers set out on the Coast, and were routed eastward through mountains, corn fields, and plantations. The tour- ists, dressed arnusingly to fit the occasion, stopped at scenic Sun Valley, Hollywood, the Kentucky Derby, and other famous showplaces, imaginatively represented by booths, crepe paper and signs. The Circus was an enormous success, and of the S500 made on tickets and concessions, 35300 was sent to the Norwegian Relief Fund. Miss Louise Ewalt and Helen Wallbank were able managers, and they were kindly helped by Mrs. Ditlev-Simonsen, who arranged an au- thentic Norwegian display in the tea room. Our trailer trip wound up safely at Denver, Colorado, around five o'clock, and though a bit weary after the journey, everyone felt stimulated by our nation-wide ex- cursion.
