“The Clarion,” Cheverus Classical High School, Portland, Maine. Excellent editorials! As much can be said for your literary department. Yours is a very complete magazine and appar- ently has no defects. “The Monad,” Belleville High School, Belleville, New Jersey. You have plenty of jokes and a splen- did exchange column. Why not improve on, and increase, both your editorial and literary departments: “The Tabula,” Torrington High School, Torrington, Connecticut. Your Alumni Editor is ambitious and has certainly done splendid work. The editorials are good, but have all your artists graduated: The “Wampatuck,” Braintree High School, Braintree, Mass. Your magazine is well worth the hon- orable mention wen in the All-American School Magazine Contest. The Foreign Language Department is both beneficial and interesting. “The Whittier-Town Sentinel.” Ames- bury High School, Amesbury, Mass. The best weekly we receive! Your paper is condensed, but nevertheless com- plete. “The Item,” Dorchester High School for Girls, Dorchester, Mass. You have an excellent literary depart- ment and a clever exchange column. Nevertheless there is room for improve- ment on your editorials and a few cuts would help also. “The Echo,” Winthrop High School, Winthrop, Mass. As usual, you live up to your motto “Much in Little.” You have plenty of news, but not enough jokes. “The Sagamore,” Brookline High School, Brookline, Mass. A newsy paper with fine editorials and a good short story. Did you forget your exchange column in this issue: “The Hebronite,” Hebron College and Academy, Hebron, Nebraska. Y'our news and alumni departments are good, but where arc your literary and ex- change columns: “The Stetson Oracle,” Stetson High School, Randolph, Mass. A beautiful cover and design. If you had contributions in proportion to your advertisements you would have a really fine magazine. “The Proviso Pageant,” Proviso Town- ship High School, Maywood, 111. A fine school paper which also includes current news. The literary supplement is clever and is well done. A few jokes, now, and your paper will be complete.

MUSIC IN QUINCY HIGH SCHOOL The Girls’ Glee Club has clone some splendid work this year and is justly proud of its thirty-four members and manager, Priscilla Greene. It has ap- peared at the Senior High School, both at the Education Week exercises and at Graduation exercises in January. In March, it sang at the Bethany Congrega- tional Church. The North Quincy Catholic Club has invited the Club to sing at its meeting on April 7th. It will enter the Glee Club Contest at the Boston Conclave on May 20th, where Quincy hopes to receive honorable men- tion. The Glee Club will also sing at the Annual Spring Concert anci the June graduation. The Boys’ Glee Club has not been formed this year but an attempt to rees- tablish it is being made. Our school has an unusually good or- chestra! In the New England contest, it has done splendidly and has participated in many other programs. The upper or- chestra has fifty-two members and is managed by Albert Fish. It has played at the Education Week program on Jan. 12, at the meeting of the Cranch Parent- Teachers’ Association, the Education Program of the Young Women’s Com- munity Club, and at the Beethoven Cen- tenary Celebration, March 25th. It has made the following engagements: April 7—North Quincy Catholic Club. April 12—Quincy Women's Club. May 5—Music Dept. Instrumental Concert. May 21—Boston Conclave. May 26—Spring Concert. June 22—High School Graduation. The lower or second orchestra is also doing well. It has twenty-eight members who arc training for the upper group. Walter Smith is the manager. With Nissi Grossman as manager the band is doing great work. On November 20th, we all know how it kept up the “fighting spirit” all the way to Brockton and home again. It has played at the Quincy Theatre on March 24, 25, 26, and will play at the Junior High Schools some- time in April. On May 5 the band will play at the Music Dept. Instrumental Concert and on May 21 will represent Quincy in the Bank contest at the Boston Conclave. The Third New England School Band and Orchestra Contests and Festival to be held in Boston on May 21, is open to all school organizations of New England Banks and orchestras will be given an opportunity to participate in the Festival program on Boston Common in the parade, and in the program of massed band and orchestras, which will include several numbers played by the entire en- semble and several of the massed bands. The latter will take place at the Boston Arena in the afternoon. Assigned and optional compositions will be played at the Orchestra Contest at the Boston Arena in the morning. Our orchestra did especially well last year and we hope it will do even better this year.
