OUR MUSIC DEPARTMENT INSTRUCTOR, Miss OLIVE L. BARKER ACCOMPANIST, Miss GERTRUDE BARTLEIT Very few schools the size of ours have as much musical ability as M. H. S. There are only about one hundred and fifty-five in the High School, and out of this number about one hundred and thirty are in the High School chorus of mixed voices. At Christmas time it was found to be an easy matter to select a large chorus of male voices, and we are informed by the instructor that it would have been quite as easy a task to secure a girls' chorus. At present all the work in music is carried on in the assembly room between 2:00 and 2:30 every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs- day. For every two years' work in chorus one credit is given. We feel that we are very fortunate in obtaining such a line in- structor as we now have. Miss Barker seems to take with all the students with her jolly way, and is a very able and talented instruc- tor. Her teaching is of the latest type of music, as she attends the American Institute of Normal Methods during her vacation. Our accompanist, Miss Bartlett, is also well skilled and ably fitted for her place. She is well liked by the pupils, and her work is very satisfactory to all. We can't all smoke ten-cent cigars, Or drive a limousine: But we can all collect the bands, And smell the gasoline.
