Orchestra The orchestra has accomplished more this year than ever before and chiefly be- cause of the untiring efforts of our direc- tor, Miss Hedges. We gave a pleasing pro- gram for the school at an assembly and also showed our patriotism when we gave our services at the cadets' drill. We have played for the Christmas, Senior, and Spanish plays, also for the Commencement exercises, and are finishing up the good work by playing for a few outside affairs now. This year there have been several addi- tions to the orchestra and they were very welcome. Indeed all are welcome who join, and We wish more would. Those that feel that they have any musical talent and ability at all should join the orchestra, not only for the sake of the two points that are given, but also because of the advantage derived and knowledge gained from the orchestra practice. There are some of us who are leaving this year, but we are confident that our places will be even better filled next year. Those leaving this year are Frances Morris, Otella Miller, Sarah Burman, and Willard Pierce. School spirit is backing the orchestra so well this year that we can see nothing but a successful future for itg especially, as Miss Hedges will continue to have charge.

Just look at the list of men and women who have ad- dressed us. This list not only includes some of the greatest ministers and busi- ness men of Kansas City, but a very large number of the leading men and women of affairs of the United States. In ad- dition to these people, we have had a good- ly number of assemblies where the enter- tainment has been furnished by those of our own number. It would be difficult to say which as- sembly was liked by the greatest number, for they were all unusually good. What we liked most was the variety. Our ad- dresses have covered all sorts of subjects. There have been talks on patriotism, on clean living, on nature, on music, on China, on business, and on numerous other topics of present day interest. Interspersed through these have been numerous mu- sical programs by way of variety. We want to thank Mr. Shouse and Mr. Beck- mann for securing these people for us. Below is a review of the assemblies of the year: A The Greatest Gamez' Dr. Henry Marcotte, Pastor of the Sec- ond Presbyterian Church of this city, was the first outside speaker of the year. His address, October 2,.was on The Greatest Game, the game of life. In his message he urged us to discipline ourselves to cul- tivate teamwork with the remainder of humanity. The Story of a Thousand-Year Pine On October 20, Mr. Enos A. Mills, the famous naturalist, paid Westport another visit. Several years ago Mr. Mills told from our platform the story of Midget, the Return Horse. This time he told still more of his remarkable adventures in matural research work. His story, The Story of a Thousand-Year Pine, gave the student body much unusual in- formation concerning the life history of an old pine tree. Musical Assembly The Westport Glee Clubs and the stu- dent body engaged in a songfest on Octo- ber 25. Mr. Leslie Peckenpaugh, a former Westporter, sang several selections. True History On November 3 Dr. Nisbet introduced to us Mrs. Mildred Rutherford of Georgia, who spoke on the True History of the North and South as she saw it.
