The young moestros learn how to sing. Music hath charms . . . provided by the music department, con- ducted by the music department, and appreciated by us. The aim of this group is to teach the students an appreciation of music. Boys' Glee Club, Girls' Glee Club, Junior A Cappelio, and Double Quortette are the nucleus of the Senior A Coppella, and it is within these groups that students become qualified for this later activity. Beginning strings make up a feeder group for the senior orchestra, and symphony numbers within their range clutter their portfolios. The beginning bond vigorously trains its members to qualify for the senior bond. Art posters are deemed second to radio in the business end of war propaganda. Our own art department has given, since the beginning of the war, approximately 6500 hours for the war effort alone. Among the activities of the advanced classes is the making of patriotic posters. Lining the wall in the lower corridor in the senior high this year were exhibits of posters mode. Numerous signs were painted for the Red Cross, RotioningA Board, and Swap Center. The senior high's honor roll plaque and a U. S. 0. sign were products of their making. At Christmastime the making of the traditional gifts was discon- tinued in order to conserve valuable materials. Menu covers for men aboard ship for Christmas dinners were made. Wallpaper books discarded by downtown stores are being used by the artists whenever possible, to save paper. ZELMA MONLUX, B. E.
