Music is a sound that is pleasing to the
ear. Every Fri«iay a forty-minut» period
ia spent in singing. The entire student body
at thin tune gives vent to all pent-up en
thusiasm stored up during the week. As
yet we have no regular sung books, but are
looking forward to being provided with
these soon. Thi» ia very good practic« for
the students and faculty and is causing a
grvut deal of enthusiasm among the patrons
of the school.
The first fin* drill was held on Friday,
October 24th, and all students were out of
th«’ building in 50 seconds. This slowness
wiu due to the fact that we were not try
ing to make any records.

tables for the Science room and Library, as
well as flower »Uiiuis, hat racks, and one
industrious student made a milk stool.
