Page 28 g THE OKATO Departments MUSIC DEPARTMENT A Mt-ssner piano has been purchased from the Maigatter Music House by the Music rlepartiiiurllt. l'art of the money for it was paid with profits of the different operettas and social functions given by tlu- sz-hools of the city. The r-emaimller of the bill will be ipaid by the school lnoarlzl. The piano will be used for the lillHll'l'HtIl'l'l'll only. Much credit must be given to the lower lZl'l.l'Tlt'S, and to Miss Taft for their co.- opcration in this work. GRADE SCHOOL OPERETTA C'nderella, given by the grade schools of Oconto, was certainly a huge success. The fairies and elves were as dainty and fairy-like as any real onesg the Ladies were as charming as one could wish, and the Lords were as gallant and courtly as any gentleman who lived in the earlier days. The first scene took place' in Woodland, where the Fairy Queen and all the fairies and elves held a meetingg the Fairy Queen told of a poor kitchen maid who wanted to go to the Prince's Ball, which was to be given that night, but she had no pretty dress or any slippers to wear. So the Fairy Queen was going to make it possible for the imaid to go by giving her a beautiful yellow dress to match her hair, and by giving 'her a pair of golden slip- pers. The second scene was in the kitchen in Cin- derella's home, where' Cinderella was sitting by the fire, weeping, because she could not attend the Ball. Her two step-s sters entered and she helped them get ready, for they were going. When they finally left and she was again sitting alone, the Fairy Godmother appeared and changed Cinderella's ragged dress into a beautiful ye-llow one and gave her a pair of golden slippers. Then she sent Cin- derella to the Ball, with the command that she be home by twelve o'clock. The third scene was in the Ball Room at the Palace. The Lords and Ladies were all assembled, waiting for the Prince, when Cinderella stole in. When the Prince arrived, he saw Cinderella and immediately fell in love with her. They led the quadrille and as soon as the dance- ended, the clock struck twelve. Cinderella ran quickly from the room, the others following almost immediately, but all that they found was a golden slipper. The fourth scene took place in the parlor of Cinderella's home. The Prince was ushered in by Cinderella's stepmother. He carried a golden slip- per in his hand, and explained that he was trying to find the person to whom it belonged and fit. The stepmother immedfately called in her two daugh- ters, but after trying the slipper on both of them, it was found to be much too small. The Prince then requested to see the kitc'hen maid, so Cinder- ella was brought in. The slipper was tried on her and it fit to perfection. She produced its mate and the Prince knew he had found the girl whom he was to marry. So he took her away and they lived happily ever after. GLEE CLUB NOTES 'lille Girlls Gle-e Club has an enrollment of sixty members. This is 'an im-.reaseil number over other years. The girls started in with the right spirit and wer-r all willing and hepful. They made a llllillllllvl' of public tl'pDt'2ll'flI'll'l's. ..... . Tim- boys formwl an ortette and units-d with the givls in giving tile Uperetta, The Gypsy Rover. This was -a succes- and showed the progress made luy table clubs. A Girls' l'hoir was formed of twelve ineiulvcrs instead of thx' usual doulrle quartet. These girls have prolglressoll fllpiilly and also have appeared publicly szvaral timeis. The lllt'llllI0l'S of this are: lxiura Perry. Ulymcnc Par-isey, Agnes Mullen. Kath-'yn Harvey. Helcn .lare I'I'.ll'l't'j', Beulah Nichols. Shirley Nichols. Margarite Iieauxlin.

SCIENCE IN OCONTO HIGH SCHOOL lWe speak of science and picture it as something daily activies are subject to in every detail of its l'a.Ws. Science is then a study of laws that iulfluiencc llli-il direct our every tlioulgaht and act. To introduce students into this study wc teach gl IlPI'll1 science. This simply means that the student's attei1tion,is directed to the commoul, every- -day things surrounding him. Thi-s creates a desire to know more and hence leads into tile study of fDlll'fif'fl tlllll lfielogy. It would be well it' we coulrl also add chrmistry. Biology calls attention to plant and animal life. 'Some time is also given to the study of the humazi body and the functions of its parts. Physics is more material in its application. lt d-rals with the mechanics of the material thimrs about us. In a general way the lalws of the following arlo ftudiedg motion, liquids, gases. lnacliinery. electri- city. sound, and lignlit. To this we ad-fl the latest and lll'VJP1 'l-l'Htll0 telephone. Enough intrest has been crratcd in this last subject so that about ten or tw-rlve radio sets have been built. Both science rooms of the On-onto High School h-.ive kbccn equipped in the last, two years with the most up-to-date tables and dcinoaistration desks. lt is doubtful if any other high school can be found with any better. Apparatus is being adlded yearly- an.l it its hopped that in -another year or two Oconto will also be ini the front line with enouagli apparatus for every istudcnt takinlg the work, to keep the in- terest allive throughout the whole year. This article cannot be closed without mention of the school radio set made by boys of the physics classes. The -aerial, has been so arranged that the set can be operated in both office and assemlbly.L We a-re confident that all students in our science claisses learn enough .of the fundamental laws- and principles so that with open minds they can con-tinuc their stud-y of science throughout life. Scienue serves its greatest purpose when it adds to the llvnily hap- piness and success of the individual. It is hoped that students of our High School will find their know- ledge of science a source of daily lnispina-tion.
