Two of our most in- teresting assemblies were those in which the orchestra participated, and at both the Senior and Christmas plays and at commencement it rendered programs worthy of commendation. Under the capable direction of Mrs. Hedges rehearsals have been held twice a week for two periods. The class of 1920 claims five valued members. However, we feel fortunate in still being able to retain some of the good material for next year. The orchestra extends their best wishes to those of their number who graduate.

The popularity of the drawing classes was evidenced by the large increase in enrollment last fall which eloquently be- spoke the awakening interest of the school in general concerning drawing and designing. One of the biggest events of the year was a contest, open to all high school students in Kansas City, for the best, Oh! Oh! Cindy! poster. The first prize 'of twenty dollars was offered by the Athe- naeum which held the competition. Al- though Central has a class which devotes the entire year to posters, Westport had more entries than any other school and Mildred Pearson, one of Miss Wil- hite's pupils, won the first prize. The other two prizes went to Central. Edith Forbes and Helen Stout received honor- able mention. In spite of the many interruptions the regular work of the different classes, ranging from skyscrapers in two-point perspective to costumes suitable for a thin person or a still life study in oils or Sheraton furniture designs was car- ried on with zeal and enthusiasm. The 'climax of the year arrived when Frances Hayes, a Junior, was awarded ten dollars in gold as first prize for the Herald cover. Elsie Hartwig, Esther Knop and Elea- nor Jones received honorable mention and a free copy of the Herald. The judges for the contest were Mr. C. F. Slaughter, commercial artist of the Holland Engraving Company 5 Miss Fran- ces Maxwell, commercial artist for Harz- feld's Parisiang Miss Coah Henry, art instructor at Central High Schoolg Miss Lovina Eggleston, student at the Fine Arts Instituteg Mrs. H. C. Henrici, 3933 Tracy Avenue. For the first time in the history of Herald contests there were entries from all four classes.
