Publications i TUDENT publications have been combined and given a new name. It is the uVoice of the Student-Body. Publications such as the Gold and Blue and the TiSi' Book, sponsored by the L. D. S. are the nucleus of all activ- ities, the only manner in which the students can aptly express themselves. What can a well-chosen staff of repre! sentative students not accomplish in such a democratic example of loyalty and zeal to serve as a news- paper or the student year book? In a school paper, edited entirely from the students, View-point, the faculty and admin- istration 13nd at line medium for cooperation with the student body. Unbiased, wellewritten campus neWs is contained in the Gold and Blue. The paper has developed a clear, broadminded outlook on high-school happenings. There is a large staff, all of whom are most deserving of praise. This school sheet of ours rated very high in the national contest. The girls issue showed us that girls arenTt so helpless after all. On this capable staff were Mary Bitner, editor; Frankey Richards and Mary Jones, associate editors; Beth JeX, advertising manager. The junior issue was one of the cleverest of the year. William Mulder was the editor; Mary Jones and Norma Goddard, assoe ciate editors; and Wayne Richards, business manager. The iiS Book staff this year lived up well to their motto, HA Bigger and Better lSi Book for 1930? They wanted something newaand they have it-havenit they? This mode ernisticiage seems to be quite the time to edit a year book that has as its theme uThe Spirit of Youth. Joseph Jenkins, a wise and loved professor of English and psychological subjects has beengsponsor of the publications this year. A friendly type of person, Brother Jenkins has gone far in uniting the staffs of the two school publications. Familiar with journalism and extremely interested in uncovering talent in his students, he has encouraged a higher level of writing at the L. D. S. JOSEPH JENKINS Mg 100 k-

M usic AN is that he might have joy. Music brings joy and happiness to all of us. In every person there is a responsive chord that vibrates at the sound of singing. Realizing the large influence music plays in the lives of people, George H. Durham and Frank W. Asper have made the music depart- ment one of the most outstanding dee partments of the L. D. S. There is an opportunity for manyistudents in the music organizations. The choruses are large and give many boys and girls a chance for training in singing. Through the band and orchestra students who are interested in instrumental music receive training and practice. Something entirely new this year was the radio programs given by the chorus over the National Broadcasting System. This is a great achievement for a high school chorus. Many enthusiastic reports were received from persons who heard the broadcasts. The annual cantata was exceptionally beautiful. The in- spiring music helped to establish the true Christmas spirit. 4iPrincess Pat, the school opera, was presented at the West High Auditorium under the supervision of George H. Durham and Bessie Jones. The school orchestra, directed by Frank W. Asper, played the entire music score. The opera was delight- ful, with its clever lines and beautiful music. The cast was well chosen: each member interpreted his part well. The orchestra andethe band, under the direction of Frank W. Asper, have had a successful year. They have given us out standing programs at some of our assemblies and devotionals. The band has added interest and enthusiasm to our athletic contests. ' George H. Durham, the head of the music department; has been at L. D. S. several years, during which time the school has been noted for its excellent'music. The co-operation of the students and the earnest work of the directors have made this an outstanding musical year. GEORGE H. DURHAM , 102 gas. 535
