There are sixty students enrolled in the Senior Chorus this year, making the largest representation the school has yet had. Although many difficulties have arisen through the inconveniences of this depart- ment the students have progressed greatly, by way of public experience, in both formal and informal affairs. A Our faithful old orchestra is in every way advancing. They en- larged their crew to eighteen members, and before long, the public will recognize a group of professional musicians instead of the little hand- ful of amateur players of the past. If you do not believe that our Music Department has a future, listen to the prediction which was made to our supervisor, concerning it. A few days ago a carnival came to our city, and of course the crowds flocked to the gates, waiting for admission. Among the crowd of anxious waiters was the heavy-set fellow of whom you have heard before My honored guest rambled around, ignoring the sights, until he sud- denly caught sight of a 'fHot Dog stand. After greedily devouring four of the appetizing things, he slowly moved away toward the gypsy tent. He was greeted by a shy little girl, begging with all her might. Taking pity on the little waif, he entered the tent and was taken into a small corner. The gypsy woman seated herself behind a. little table and proceeded to shuffle the cards. Laying them down on the table, she mumbled to herself, and motioned for him to cut them. He did so, after a few awkward movements and gave them back to her. Laying down the cards in their different positions, she began: You teach music? Yes, in the city schools. I see you in a crowd. My, how happy you are. There is no oppo sition now in their undertakings for the future, for they work in uni- son. They are noted throughout the country, for their famous chorus organization. ' ' Yes, what else? t U , She shuffled the cards again, calling on the spirits, as she again 'mumbled under her breath. Hhfister, this time, I see another group, much smaller than the other. But these pupils do not sing, they play, oh, so earnestly. They don 't all study their music together, they have a different dgipartment . . . . . 1 , , , , .1 Your- which gives individual classes.
