Conflicting class honors made it impossible to organize the Bovs’ Glee Club. The work of the Girls’ Glee Club has been very satisfactory and of a high order. History of music has been added to the class work. Most of the girls found note book work more difficult than singing but did most with good results. The boys planned a minstrel early in the year but prevailing conditions occasioned its abandonment, just when the work was well under way. The regular year’s work of the H. S. Orchestra ended with the Second Semester. The operatta this year was given by the pupils of the grades. “The Maid and the Middy” was presented, and proved a great success. At present the Glee Club is working on songs for May Festival and Commencement. Art Department The work of the Art Department has been very comprehensive.

THE ROUND-UP Mr. W. D. Fletcher Graduate of the Battle Creek School of Physical Education. Wheaton (111) College, 2 years. Elmhurst (111) College, 3 years; Professional baseball, basketball and football, 3 years, in actual competition. Department of Physical Training and Athletics While Rawlins High School was unable to compete in interscholastic athletics during the past year, basketball, the major sport, was fostered with the idea of maintaining in the High School, material for the future. This was accomplished by the institution of an intra-school basketball tournament and by correlating basketball work with Physical Training classes. The aims of Physical Training—excluding basketball were to provide recreational deviation from the regular school work, to stimulate an interest in wholesome sports and games and to build up bodily strength and vigor through exercise and play.

THE ROUND-UP Miss Lillian To ole The Library,—What is it? Can anyone really answer the question? Those two words, “The Library” have such a deep significance for every student who has caught the spirit of “Silence is the Law of the Library” that it would be hard to sum up the aggregate in one concise statement. But this much we do know,—The Library represents opportunity for the man of tomorrow. The Rawlins Public School Library was established about 1900. the value of i: is being appreciated more each year. Although the Library is used mostly for reference work, yet there is a vast amount of fiction read by the students. The Library furnishes not only the High School with reading material, but also the grades in Central Building, East Ward and West Ward, and the Town People are welcome to visit the Library any period during the day to either read or borrow books for home reading. One hundred and sixty new volumes have been added to the Library since September 19 20, most of the books being the latest editions and writings. This increases the number of bound volumes to one thousand seventy-five. One of the busiest corners of the Library is the magazine section. This section represents the highest class Literature of the day, the Library receiving twenty-five of the best magazines published. The aim and work of the department is Service,—It is being expanded and strengthened to meet the added responsibility. LILLIAN E. TOOLE.
