1 THIS LIFE is Mosr JoLLY fs: she is in the room about three weeks or so. Every girl must do what she is asked to do for the program. If she is unprepared, a contribution of five cents is paid, and she has to do her part at the next meeting. A double contribution always must be paid if a girl is unprepared more than once. An initiation contribution of ten cents is to be paid next fall by all new members. The regular contribu- tion for the treasury is a penny or more a week i rom each girl.

VVe made scrap-books, and gave such toys as balls, marbles, and trains. Besides, we gave twenty-live bags with candy and fruit. On Easter we colored eggs, and put them in baskets which we made of strawberry boxes. We are now saving to buy two pictures for the girls' warcl.-Elisulvvflz Hvrbvfik, B9. The Orchestra McKinley's orchestra this year ranks among the best high school orcliestras in the city, and we are all proud to belong to it. During the winter term we were kept busy practicing' for the Thanksgiving Concert and Christmas plays. As soon as they were over we started to learn oriental music for the A9 play, Aladdin,, and we rehearsed on Saturdays in addition to our regular daily practice. VVe had a lot to do, but it was great fun as well as hard work. During the summer term we have been practicing more music for the Easter Concert, the Contest on the Constitution, the Schoolmasters' Banqnet,, Snow Xllhite.
