MUSIC Music because of its many contributions to a finer type of citizenship is assuming a highly important place in the curriculum of the modern school, In our system, we have tried to make music for every child, a reality. In doing this we have to provide for the individual differences, the music program must be varied, articulated, and adapted so as to furnish each level of ability with an appropriate activity. Our course of study provides for this in the grades, junior high, and high school level, both in vocal and instrumental work. The grade music is making remarkable progress inthe new, World of Music, series, the music book adopted by the county this year. Each class meets three times a week and do unison and part singing, listening and beginning theory. The beginning instrumental work consists of the harmonica band of seventy students and the junior orchestra of twenty- five pieces.The harmonica band is the introduction to instru- mental music and a way to judge the capability of a student in taking an orchestra instrument. After proving his ability, theystudy the instrument to which they are best adopted. As soon as capable they are graduated from the junior to the senior orchestra. Our junior high or seventh and eight grades continue their study of music, building their appreciation of good music, part singing and theory form the background attained in the grades, meeting twice weekly. The twenty eight mem- bers of the junior chorus do three part singing and are to be congratulated on their fine work. High school music is an elective subject. Any person who can qualify is permitted to take glee club, chorus or orchestra, receiving credit toward graduation, depending upon the number of courses taken. Those people showing out- standing ability are given awards at the end of the school year. The girls glee club of twenty-six members, the boys glee club of twenty voices, the mixed chorus of both clubs com- bined and the senior orchestra of twenty-five members per- form at many of our school and community functions and climax the years work by taking part in the Wood County musical festival, held annually at Bowling Green University. The fine success of our music department is due to full cooperation of the administration and school board.The boards investment of several hundred dollars in new instruments has made our orchestra one of the best in the county.
