Unquestionably, music plays an increasing part in the cultural side of human life today. Music, as taught at the present time, is no longer limited to those who are talented, but aims for the development of an earnest apprecia- tion of music for all. Since this valuable training is offered in Kittanning High School, the opportunity to study such an art should be taken by each student. Under the Music Department, there are the Glee Clubs and the Orchestra, which organizations have provided many chapel programs and other entertainments. ,vm ii ii!li1'lNfFl ..- 'l'A -'MN ---.. - 1 , 'F 'h- 'a'lbi':- Eighteen
