MUSIC W E have a large Music class num- bering fifty-seven. The Foresman system is used and this is supplemented by the Progressive Music Series. Book Four and Twice Fifty-five. We have done quite a little two part work and occasionally three part work. Not mentioning some of the fog horns and the occasional bleating of some lambs the singing has gone along smoothly. There are a number of girls with ex- ceptionally fine voices and because ol this we have organized a Girls’ Glee Club which we all enjoy exceedingly, especially the boys. The girls enjoy practicing in the Glee Club even if they do miss the inspiring and silver toned voices of the boys. We enjoy our singing best when our teacher wears his famous smile, but we can understand that smile wearing off when we sing “Rain Drops Pitter Pat- ter.” On Tuesday we eagerly await the arrival of our Music supervisor, Miss McPherson who through her big blue eyes and personality and thorough work gives us inspiration for the rest of the week. We are indebted to our two pianists Lillian Kuehl and Ethel Schoon who make our music period much pleasant- er. We expect to meet them later on the Concert platform. In the Foresman ' s work the records are used in teaching. However they are accompanied at times by the tap- ping of the boys’ dainty feet. Naturally there are some songs we like better than others. The boys are very attentive when we sing the “Sea King’s Bride”. “The Windlass Song”, is also enjoyed as we all like sailing the waters. The boys like Heaving the Anchor”. Another favorite song is the “Wanderer’s Evening Song”. Natural- ly, it speaks of rest. How we like to sing the song “The Moon”. It gives a very beautiful description of the moon as she comes up over the hill, but wide awake but a twinkle in her eye. What a story she could telL The patriotic songs we like to sing are the “Anvil Chorus” and “Columbia the Gem of the Ocean”. The round “Scotland’s Burning” is sung in good spirit but it is not so ex- citing as a fire drill, especially when the slide is partly covered with half melted snow. The girls appreciate singing “A Night in June . My, girls it will soon be here again. Elmer’s favorite song is “Sleep Baby Sleep”. We entertained visitors on Washing- ton’s birthday. Real talent from our class gave some excellent music on the violin, saxaphone and steel guitar. The visitors told us they enjoyed the pro- gram very much. As singing makes us happy we will continue and as the chromatic scale is right in our line we will progress in half steps if unable to in whole steps. -LEONA MILLER.

OPTIMISM A LL depressing words or thoughts tend to paralyze effort. Optimism creates and releases energy, while pes- simism cramps, cripples and benumbs the one who yields to it. Do not con- sider a thing too hard to master but make a resolve to solve the problem or master the task and it will be half done. Work hard, make the best of a situa- tion. Never talk of business troubles, hard times, bad collections, mean teach- ers, unpleasant tasks, griefs, apparent failure or vexing problems. They are all a part of the game of life and let them take care of them- selves. When your school mates talk of hard lessons tell them to smile, this will bring added enjoyment to their work and make them better students. Look for the sunlight, bathe in it, look on the sunny side of everything. Nev- er start to school with a grouch. If you were unable to get your lesson be- cause of the radio or little brother mak- ing too much noise do not blame some one else for your neglect of your stud- ies. Apply yourself in your study periods and refrain from talking and entertaining your associates, and you will have your studies mastered anil ready for the class period. Always be a good loser and be as enthusiastic about the success of others as your own. If you are defeated be polite and cour- teous and do not attribute your failure to unfair means which others may have employed to become successful. Give so much time to the improve- ment of yourself that you will have no time to criticize others. The habit of boosting others boosts the man who forms it. Life is as interesting as we make it, and so we should resolve to observe the interesting things about us, to enjoy the people we meet. Op- timists are contented people, but they are not so content that they are shirk- ers of work and too complacent, but they try to improve themselves and oth- er people and surrounding conditions. Make a resolution to become an op- timist, do not wait until the New Year, do it now. KI)NA COLE. LILLIAN KUEHL
