iiuair he music department consists of the Boys ' and Girls ' Glee Clubs, an orchestra of ten pieces, the best the school has ever had and the Music Appreciation Class. In this department the students learn to appreciate and enjoy the many fine qualities of Art in Music. The enthusiasm the students have manifested is wonderful. Each has done his part to assist Mr. Montague and help make the music department a success. The music department has been active in furnishing music for the school activities. Classes in technical work such as harmony, fundamentals and instruction in vocal and instrumental work have been conducted. In carrying out the musical program of the year, the department has had several objectives in mind, chief among them: the develop- ment of those taking part, the edification and entertainment of the listeners, the creating of a desire for a better class of music, and the advertisement and advancement of Madison High.

BIOLOGY tttl e students feel that our science work has been a success. The Biology department has in its study taken into consideration many things of importance to students. Biology is a study of living things , plants and animals. In our study we have learned, How these things live; their relation to one another; how they depend upon the physical world about them; and man ' s power to control 1bem. It has been fascinating and interesting . 0 AGRICULTURE In the fall of ]927 but few fellows signed up for Agriculture. From the good advertising we have given the course, there are indications that there will be a larger enrollment next year. We studied crops and their environment; soils, their classes and textures ; farm management, and crop rotations. Everything was done to make it a very beneficial and interesting course. We look forward to a bigger and better science department next year We have appreciated Mr. Cooper ' s efforts and wish him success.

eminary is a branch of the Madison High School. In seminary we have made a study of the Old Testament j this includes the creation of the earth and everything that is in the earth, the plants, insects, fowls, man and animals. It is the. history of the people upon the earth from the time of the creation to the coming of Christ upon the earth. It tellg of miracles and prophecies, performed and prophecied by men of God. It also tells of the destruction of wicked people upon the earth, at different in- tervals. In this study the student learns of his spiritual and moral exist- ence and what it means to him to live up to the commandments of God. This subject has been made very interesting through the co- operation of Cecil Merkeley, teacher, and the students. The seminary this year has been composed of about one hundred and ten students, the majority of whom have done commendable work. However, next year the plans are to cover Old Testament, New Testa- ment, Church History and Doctrine. We hope this will increase the enrollment.
