Club members this year, among other achievements, constructed the cement alley way between the bull pens. The funds for these various projects have been raised by the members through their initiative and interest in our Jersey herd. During the course of the year we have had several talks given to us by Mrs. Bush-Brown and Mr. Bartlett. Mrs. Bush-Brown gave us an interesting summary of the history of our herd here at the school. Mr. Bartlett shared with us some of his many experiences dealing with the management of several different herds in Vermont. This Spring we all had the privilege of attending the Eastern States Breeders Exchange Auction sale in Coatesville, where some of the best of the breed were shown. Through our efforts we hope that very soon we will be able to have the herd re-classified. E.G. 16

The program of the Music Club this year included music appreciation and Glee Club. The Glee Club members provided caroling at the Christmas Banquet and throughout the evening. They have had many friendly gatherings of song fests and have learned the pleasure of group singing, under the supervision of Miss Dorothy Leiter. The music appreciation meetings were very informal, and the members pursue their favorite quiet hobbies while listening to the music of their masters. Short discussions concerning the life of the musicians, or criticisms of their works, usually preceded each piece. Selections ranged from the inspiring strains of Handel's Messiah to the syncopated rhythm of Duke Ellington's Do Nothing Till You Hear From Me . The Music Club has tried to impress in the hearts and minds of its members, the beauty of all types of music. Its main purpose was to enlighten us that great music is not only for professionals, but also for those of the uritrained ear. A.G. and P.L. 15
