TTT 'f f f,1pMf,T Y Y 'Y T'm1' Y Seek the Heights P - Of course you have noticed the new book plate on the first page of the Purple and Gold, but did you read its meaning? lf you will look at it closely, you will see what it resembles. A path leads to a steep hill, where you must go up and up until the top has been reached. You must Seek the Heights. The Trail leads ever upward through pleasant places, with reward just over the hill. This, you see, is the motto of our school, which is illustrated by our school paper, and now again by the book plate which has been prepared for us. This drawing was made by Dorothy Brundige, of the class of W'25, who deserves our thanks and appreciation.-Leona Kitchen. Music Hath Charms . Everyone has leisure time, but many do not know how to use it. Not only useful subjects are taught in school to be used in the busi- ness world, but also ways to use one's leisure time in amusing one's self. One of the most popular of these is music. Much interesting work has been done in the music classes this past term. The A9 classes have been doing sight-reading, chorus work, and have learned how to transpose pieces best suited for their voices. They have studied all forms of secular and sacred mu- sic, using victrola records as illustrations. They have studied famous pianists and violinists. Recently a record of the t'New World Sym- phony was purchased by the school, and is used by all classes. The A8's are studying elementary theory with sight-reading, chor- us work, and some appreciation of artists and composers. The A7's have simple drills, some sight-reading, chorus work, and opera stories, which are very interesting. All the grades have musical pro- grams directed under appointed committees from their own rooms. Besides the work of the regular classes, there are three important musical organizations which add greatly to the life of the school and the enjoyment of our days together. At least once each term they join in giving to the school a musical treat, playing and sing- ing for us their choicest numbers. The whole school looks forward toithese concerts, and all are proud of the talent displayed.-Lucille Lawso-n. THE GIRLS' GLEE CLUB The Girls' Glee Club meets twice a week, and under the direction of Miss Adler has many happy hours together. They sang in all of the musical concerts, and appeared at various other entertainments L4 L-ll4.L4L..lLllLLLL'l-I1 f .ay I II .L '
