to present music to the public and has contributed largely to the successi of the music program. An 'nnual spring concert is presented by these combined groups. Vocal and instr vnental solo work is done by students representing each division. At the recen concert more than one hundred students from all grades participated. The stuc its, sincere work was rewarded by an unprecedented concert at- tendance. Thr nusic department aims to bring music expression into the school and into the home. As the children are taught to enjoy music and to participate in its performance, an improvement is made in their social life and a founda- tion is laid to make their adult life more complete. ALUMNI REGISTER In order that contact may be kept between the alumni and the school, we are instituting this year an alumni register in which the names of the graduates of the school are listed by classes. It is to be hoped that the alumni will keep the school informed of their whereabouts and their doings. Each year we shall try to keep in touch with our graduates and help them to keep in contact with each other. lt is planned to have an alumni banquet next year when the fifth class graduates from the school.

MUSICAL ORGANIZATIONS Front row: Doris Emmert, Stanley Heath, Ward Hitchings, William Williams, Donald Flanagan, Dorlyn Bailer, Warren Case, Robert Case Back row: Irene Rogers, Gloria Clark, Ruth Case, Mr. Swartz, Leland Walters, Donald Kenyon The rapidly growing music department has five divisions. The orchestra, which has fifteen members and many prospective members for the coming year, plays at school assemblies and all functions of the various school or- ganizations. The members rehearse faithfully, preparing new programs and learning new arrangements. Each member learns to express himself musically and to apply his talents to the best advantage of the entire group. Instrumental classes in which any school child may receive instruction on the symphonic instruments owned by the school, afford the child an oppor- tunity to study under supervision. As a result of this opprtunity many of the students have become so interested that they have purchased their own in- struments and engaged private instruction. The Girl's Glee Club is an organized unit which studies part-singing. The girls are trained to apply themselves to music of three and four voices and to encourage music appreciation in the school and in the community. The Boys' Glee Club practices choral parts and appears in joint performances with the Girls' Glee Club. The Grade Chorus which consists of sixty voices has learned Musical training is a more pofen! instrument than any other, because rhylhm' and harmony final flwir way into the inward places of the soul. -Plato.
