A Senior had a little book, lts back was grassy green. l-le gave it many a wary look And that 's the reason he always thought he had his Greek lesson so perfectly. l-le carried it to school one day V1 hich was against the rule. It made the children laugh and play To see the edge of that old pony sticking out of a dignified Seniofs pocket. The students saw the pony there The teacher saw it too, The Prof too soon possessed the beast, But he didn't have a monopoly on the things and the Senior soon get another one for 3150.

MUSIC. TI-IE CONSERVATORY. Along with the College proper the Conservatory has been making strides. There has been a large increase in the number of students during the past two years and a corresponding gain in the quality of work done. THE PIANO DEPARTMENT. This department has increased so that it has been necessary to add another teacher, Miss Cora Thompson, a member of the class of '05, to the staff. Miss Thompson has made a specialty of Kindergarten music and has been quite successful in this. THE VOCAL DEPARTMENT. This department has almost doubled itself within the past two years. The out- look now is that we will be obliged to add another teacher for the coming year. THE VIOLIN DEPARTMENT. Work was begun in this department two years ago. It has prospered beyond all expectation. An outgrowth of the department is THE STRING ORCHESTRA of twelve pieces which will give a concert in the spring term. Another outgrowth of THE CoNsERvAToRY is the GLEE CLUBS. THE MEN's CLUB, composed of sixteen members, gave eight concerts during the spring vacation. THE LADIES' CILEE CLUB has twelve members and will give a concert during the spring term jointly with the lVIen,s Club. Another development during the year is THE COLLEGE BAND. It will make its bow to the public during the spring term also. Last, but not least, comes THE ORATORIO SOCIETY which fosters TI-IE MAY FESTIVAL, an event which has been for some years a drawing card for Tarkio. -55-
