Football With only three lettermen back, our prospects for a good team were slight, but before the season was over Coach Johnson had built up one of the strongest teams in the conference. During the entire season, our team lost only two games, one of which was a conference game. Our team placed second in the conference. FOOTBALL SCHEDULE.

(0lii 2uiluntus 1333 Orchestra and Chorus The simplest and most direct approach to the study of music, to a realization of the appreciation of music as an art, is through songs, either vocal or instrumental, because a song is a direct and simple appeal to the emotions. An art form to be an art form must have this quality of direct appeal. It arouses immediate emotional or feeling response, and it does something else. It arouses in the auditor, the listener, a desire to repeat, to take part, an impulse toward participation, or, to use the rather trite expression, a desire for self-expression. This pleasing unity of sounds, however, as mere sound, conveys no direct meaning. There must be appropriate words which appeal directly to the mind. There is then immediate reaction and interplay between the intellect and the emotions, each making the other more direct, more sure, each helping te amplify and enrich the other and make it more available for future recall. The pupil who has a knowledge of music, in whatever field it may be, has something the other person does not have. It is quite true that we use music for every occasion. We use it in time of sadness; we use it in time of gladness. It behooves us to use it in the right manner at the right times. Our music department always stands ready to help in school and civic enterprises. Our total chorus enrollment for tnis year numbered thirty-two and for our orchestra thirty-eight. Mostly three-part songs were sung in chorus. Classical, semi-classical and popular selections were practiced throughout the year by the orchestra. “Music is in all growing things; And underneath the silky wings Of smallest insects there is stirred A pulse of air that must be heard; Earth’s silence lives and throbs and sings. “To match and mate Feeling with knowledge—make as manifest Soul’s work as mind’s work, turbulence as rest; Hates, loves, joys, woes, hopes, fears that rise and sink ceaselessly,— Can music rescue this from Soul’s profound Give feeling immortality by sound Then is she queenliest of arts.”
