PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT What could be better than “Gym” to make us all “pep up”? Why nothing (unless, of course, the prospect of a good B. B. game). Miss Garrow supervises the girls marching, and Miss Bachus their work in calisthenics. We have had many new exercises and games so that our physical training has been interesting as well as instructive. Work of this kind which is enjoyed by all is essential, if the best mentally is to be had from the students. Mr. Jones has been kind enough to do this work in addition to his regular classroom duties, and has conducted the work in an excellent and efficient manner. Page Sixleen

MUSIC At the beginning of school this year the several musical clubs were organized, such as the Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs, the Giris’ Sextette and the Orchestra. The Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs did not appear in public very often this year, but the Sextette made several appearances and rendered excellent selections. The Girls’ Glee Club will appear at Commencement. The mixed quartet and “Kazoo Five” were organized later for special occasions and met with such applause that they appeared several times during the year at Lyceums and other programs given at the High school. Blanche Fox The orchestra was not as active this year as in previous years but when good snappy music was desired the “Kazoo Five” served the purpose. The “Kazoo Five” was composed of “kazoo slide,” “kazoo cornet,” “kazoo saxaphone,” piano and drums. Nothing but the latest music was played and much novelty was added by the “laughing slide,” the “snappy cornet,” and the “moaning saxaphone” as well as the “piano runs” and trap drums solos. The “Kazoo Five” first appeared at Lyceums but later furnished mu ic for dances and for a specialty at the “musical laugh”, “Fi-Fi.” Ted Lewis was the ideal of the “Kazoo Five” and his laughing slide and laughing saxaphone were cleverly imitated by “Cub” and “Layt.” The clear notes of “Ted’s” cornet could be heard and “Fritz” and “Russ” kept perfect rhythm with piano and drums while the kazoos put the “blues” in the “blues.” Leighton Tichenor ’22.
