IRlNG on Trinity's fifty-foot indoor range oc- cupied a considerable amount of time and interest among the boys of the Sixth, Seventh and Eighth grades. A record number of eighty- seven National Rifle Association certificates were awarded during the season. ln addition, a num- ber of boys also fired and achieved the Ranger rating of the N. R. A. The stress throughout this firing period was placed, as always, on safety and knowledge of the small bore rifle. Talks, bulletin board dis- plays and movies emphasized the importance of extreme care in handling firearms. All Gring and movement on the range is done according to a set of numbered orders, so that each boy firing can receive assistance and advice on the progress of his target from the boy who will next use that position. The awards of the N. R. A. consist of a certificate and a medal for each of the ratings earned. They pro- vide an attractive stimulus to make riflery not only a highly instructive but also a most pleasant phase of the Trinity physical education program. ga. CAA HIS year's sixty-voice Lower School Glee Club has been particularly active in the musical events of the school. lt is made up of boys from grades Five through eight whose voice range is either soprano or alto. Four-part singing, a new feature this year, was introduced by Mr. Harms to produce more effective coloration. Correct singing tone has also been stressed. The Club's first public appearance was on the night of the Christmas play when, along with general chorus work, four boys sang solos. At the annual Carol Service the group again per- formed. Billy Paul of Form II sang a solo, Slum- ber My Dove. ramafica RAMATICS played an important role in the Lower School this season. The elementary grades, throughout the year produced various skits in the Friday assemblies. Frequently the sketches were dramatized by the students them- selves. At Christmas time Grades One through Four presented an original one-act musical en- titled The Sad Santa, written and directed by Mrs. Elliot. Grades Five through Eight put on a play named Gloria, which told of the coming of the Magi. Miss Wright directed, and, as usual with her plays, it was extremely successful. The main characters were James Eysler, one of the Magi, Knight Steel, as Elizabeth, and David Priest as the Shepherd. The Glee Club provided the music and Mrs. Rogers and Mr. Wilson, as- sisted by the Stage Craft Corps, made the scenery. On Parents' Night the entire Lower Schcol com- bined to present Americana in Song and Story. Each class gave a skit, and with the Band and Glee Club made the evening a memorable one. .zdcfiuifiw HROUGHOUT the year many classes have taken trips, organized clubs, or done some- thing else worthy of merit. The Lower School has had a number of unusually fine assemblies, which included movies and musical programs. From time to time boys who had taken trips to various parts of the country showed slides of their experiences. Every class from Grade Five up has a literary club. Once a week a period is set aside for club meetings in which business can be discussed. Grade Five A started an Audubon Club which became part of the National Society and held regular meetings. On Friday, February l5, Forms One and Two held their annual Valentine Dance. Between dances, which were directed by Mrs. Cafirey, refreshments were served by Miss Stewart. Under the direction of Mr. Main the School Band formed an integral part of the Lower School program. The group performed three times during the season, twice in assemblies and once for the parents at the Parents Night Pro- gram. In the band's repertoire was Outward Bound, March Marionette and The Heavens Resound.
