Elrod is studying some music he plans to use for band. He teaches A and Bband at Knightstown, also he hasC band at Kennard and Knightstown elementary schools. Besides these he has a junior high school chorus. This year the band got three new instruments: a 12 x 15 field drum, a B bass clarinet, and a C piceolo. They also bought new wind breakers with monograms. Each year the band and chorus put on a Christmas Convocation and a May Musical. The chorus participated in the District Cho- ral Festival. Band and chorus teaches the students cooperation, physical coordination, and personal neatness. Futhermore it gives them the opportunity for individual achievement. By having re- sponsibilities in Mr. Elrod's classes they learn self-reliance. These subjects offer a better understanding and appreciation of music and the arts in general. 7443 Vaaqaodgwk Jane Kellum is checking out books for Robert E. McCorkle, Melvin Basickcr, and Harold Gold. Besides being in charge of the library, she teaches Spanish and Latin. The Southwestern school library, located in the main building, serves grades one through twelve. In addition to various reference books, the book collection,augmenteti this year by the Kennard library, numbers about 3300 volumes. The school also has a growing collection of film strips and slides. The library is staffed throughout the day by students who volunteer their services to the student body and faculty. Their only compensa- tion is the satisfaction of service and skill in using the materials in a library. The township grade schools are also supplied by the New Castle -Henry County bookmobile. However, they own their own reference collections, and this year many new ref- erence materials have been purchased.
