The Boys' Double Quartette HE School of Agriculture Octette was selected by Lucille Wendt, from the most advanced members of the Boys, Glee Club. They received additional instruction from her in the fundamentals of voice and harmony. Through hard work and frequent rehearsals they soon developed into an organization which would stand high in any school competition. First tenor was sung by Henry Dammann and Joseph Kuhlg second tenor, by David Johnson and Donald Anderson, first bass, by Robert Flesland and Donaven Ogreng and second bass, by Earl Lindberg and Chester Ullman. Their first appearance was at the Dexter Open House. Since that time they have delighted audiences at assemblies, at the Greater Ten-Thousand Lakes Association meeting at the Nicollet Hotel, at Sunday morning Song Service, and at Fellowship meetings. There is something about the harmony produced in four part singing which appeals to most audiences and makes quartettes so much in demand. The interest and training received in this work in the school will no doubt have an influence in the organization of quartettes and octettes in Farmers' Clubs, Farm Bureaus, and other rural societies. The harmonizing in personalities of the members of the quartettc has the effect of producing a similar spirit of harmony among the listeners, which in turn will be conducive to the most successful functioning of the whole organization. -MELv1N KULLHEM.

It brightens every day that's dark and dreary, It helps you on the road when you have a heavy load- Oh, singing is the thing that makes you cheery. Should you go past the music hall on Monday or Wednesday afternoon at 4:30 you would hear Music in the Air, and should you listen you would know that the Girls' Glee Club was practicing. Lucille Wendt is the director and while she is the most recent addition to the music staff, she has made a permanent place here for herself. The Girls' Glee Club, under Miss Wendt's direction, has progressed rapidly and has sung a number of times in assembly. These public appearances give the girls poise and confidence, and make them more interested in practicing. A great number of lovely songs have been learned this year including: 'QI Love 21 Little Cottage, Sonny O' Minef' The Home in the Heart of the Hills, Neapolitan Nights, I Hear the Bees a-Humming, and The Green Cathedralf, At the beginning of each quarter officers are elected. The officers for this term are: Eunice Charlson, presidentg Wilma Soehren, vice president, Clara Sogge, secretary- treasurer. The Girls' Glee Club is one of the finest clubs on the campus.

H. NELSEN, W. SOEHREN, M. CLARK, G. XVILKENS, W. CLAUSEN, H. HULIN, C. O,DANIELS. The Debating Teams EMBERS of the Aggie debating teams this year were chosen by means of inter- literary debates. These proved to be very interesting contests. Those chosen by Miss Langtry, the Coach, and Mr. Lansing, of the Rhetoric department, to represent the school in inter-scholastic debates were Wilma Soehren, Harry Nelsen, I-Ijalmar Hulin, Carol O'Daniels, George Wilkens, Walter Clausen and Myron Clark. Several good debates were staged with some of the Twin City high schools and other educational institutions, in which the Aggies always argued their way to the front. However, these were only preliminaries to the big events of the season, namely, the clash of the Aggie afiirmative team consisting of George Wilkens, Harry Nelsen, and Myron Clark, with representatives from the Crookston School of Agriculture, and the debate between the Aggie negative team, composed of Walter Clausen, Hjalmar Hulin, and Carol O'Daniels, and the affirmative team of the Morris School of Agri- culture. The question for debate this year is one of general interest and importance. It is: Resolved, that the several states should enact legislation to provide for compulsory unemployment insurance. With an important question of the day for discussion and with the excellent coaching of Miss Monica Langtry, the Aggie debating teams should go far this year. -MYRON CLARK. Pagr Nil16t-j'-XFl'Fll
