PUBLIC SCHOOL 173, MANHATTAN-JUNE, 1930 Clubs THE HISTORY CLUB AND CIVIC LEAGUE ARE HOLDING AN OPEN MEETING UNDER THE GUIDANCE O15 MISS HOURGIL--REPORTS ARE BEING READ BY MEMBERS THE HISTORY CLUB AND CIVIC LEAGUE OF CP. S. 173, SVIANHATTAN Again the History-Civics Club of P. S. 173, Manhattan, wins honors! Ever since it was organized, in 1927, it has been a winner. That nrst year it won the junior History Banner. Again the following year the Club was awarded the same banner, which entitles P. S. 173 to permanent owner- ship. In 1929 we won the junior Civics Banner. This year, instead of being given the junior Civics Banner, we were presented with the higher honor, the junior History Banner. This last award was made at the annual meeting of the City History Club of New Page Thirty York, at which all of the History and Civic Clubs of Greater New York met for the annual exhibition at the Museum of Natural History on Saturday, May 10, 1930. I was lucky enough to have won the cer- tiucate for our Club for my poster and essay work. I also accepted the History Banner in the name of the Club. There was great competition among the clubs in the exhibits they displayed. These came from Trade Schools, Recreation Centers, junior High Schools and one Senior High School. We received not only the first prize, but Honorable Mention, too.

PUBLIC SCHOOL 173, MANHATTAN-JUNE, 1930 THE GLEE CLUB NVITH MISS FERGUSON THE GLEE CLUB At one of our special assemblies, the Glee Club of our School, under the leadership of Miss Ferguson, with Mrs. Martin at the piano, sang Chiribiribin. Chiribiribin is a three-part song, which our children, members of the Hfth and sixth grades, enjoyed singing. We think, because of their applause, the visitors enjoyed these selections, too. We trust the program presented by our Glee Club this june will give to the little singers good-cheer and happiness. JAMES ToML1NsoN, 6A3. 'X' 'X' 'X' 'X- The Art of Singing Would you like to know how we learn to sing? First the song must come from your heart. You must feel every word you sing and try to touch the hearts of your listeners. Page Thirty-two Your tone should be mellow and full of resonance. This means that the voice must be placed forward and not have ll throaty quality. Shade your song, as an artist shades his picture. Use soft and loud tones to express your feelings. Use quicker time to give the impression of joy, and slower to express sad- ness. Usually a song has marks of expres- sion which tell you what to do. Follow these and tell your story in song to your listeners in an interesting manner. ARTHUR KAUFMAN, 6A3. 'X' 'K' N -X- Thc: joy of Music Music brings joy to the sad heart. It makes the world a better place in which to live. Think of the famous composers who spent many hours writing songs to lighten our cares. Let us rejoice that music goes on! CHARLES HAMILTON, 6A3.
