Inf init e Variety Is The Singing ... is a soul-satisfying experience for the seven hundred members of Murphy’s glee clubs, which keep two full-time teachers busy. Many aspire to a place in the 94-member Special Chorus, which presents programs on special occasions, as- sists with background music for other programs, and stages an annual operetta. Typing . . . may Ik an art as well as a skill. Whether for personal or vocational use Murphy typists strive for speed, accuracy, and mastery of good form. Advanced students gain practical ex- perience in typing for various school needs. Alone, or combined with stenography or bookkeeping, typing is an investment that pays dividends from the start. Printing . . . affords the opportunity to master the fundamentals of a useful trade and at the same time to work at that trade by printing the Hi Times and all forms used by the School Hoard and in Mobile County schools (there are “collec- tors'’ of these forms at Murphy who can supply statistics on the number and the colors of these forms!) READING . . . the nice and subtle happiness of reading . . . this joy not dulled by age. this pedite and unpunishable vice, this selfish, serene, life- long intoxication.
