(FOREWORD) For some time it has been the aim of the Lakeview High School to make of the school just each an institution as can best serve the interests of trie citizens of Lake County and the sur rounding country. To tbia end Domestic Science end Art were pat into the school and next a course in Manual Training was added.' Recently a demand has been made for a music course of high order. To supply tbia demand haa been a prob lem bat at last it is solved. Music has been added to the High School coarse so that pupils taking it may obtain school c edits the same as on any other high school branch, and to provide for this Mr. Burton Arant has been secured to take charge of th- piano work and C. A. White will teach the Voice Culture. Both of these gentlemen are men of culture and experience, and come to us with highest recommendations. We feel confident that students may now come to Lakeview and take musio under the auspices of the High School and get as good work as is given in most of oar conservatories. Piano (Perry Burton Arant) Mr. Arant etudind music at the Ore gon Normal School and at the Pacifie University Conservatory of Music and is a graduate ot both institutions. He has also taken advanced wora In har mony and composition. In September 1909 he won a prize of (345 in a public conteat in piano playing. Mr. Arant baa written songs and instrumental pieces and is the composer of the Normal Hymn of the Oregon Normal School. He was formerly instructor in piano in thd P. U. Conservatory. Course. This coarse is designed for all stud ents of the piano, from beginners to advanced students. Pupils are taught not to play notes, but to play music. The object is to make musicians, and . not mere performers. j Great care is taken in the selection j of music. Drv exercises are avoided preparation for a professional career, No previous knowledge of music is required. It includes elementary vocal training and principles of music in such a manner as to stimulate true muaical appreciation and to lay the foundation for the more advanced work. Many feel that they have not good enough voices to justify their cultiva tion, but they should rememi er that training often reveals wonderful pos sibilities in seemingly poor voices Voices have been developed to such an extent that it virtually amounts to voice building. The woik includes the following: I. Voice placing; tone quality, breath control, attack and release. as much as possible and the pupil gets t 8ight Binn&. ear training, the necessary technical training while practicing music that is interesting. The following will give some idea of the work covered : 1. Correct position of bands, fingers and wrists: finger stroke: relaxation: touch: special exercises; major and minor scales: arpeggies. II. Kythm, time, accent; phrasing, ear-training, principle of expression, interpretation, musical termB, etc. Voice (C. A. White) Mr. White studied three years at the American Conservatory in Chicago also at the Sherwood Conservatory, with Oottscbalk and other noted art ists. He was soloist one season with the Castle Square Opera Company of Chicago. He has had much experience both as soloist and teacher. Mr. White lett a large class of students when he cama to Oregon to regain bis health. Course. This coarse is open to any vocal student wishing to pursue vocal study wunout reierence to graduation or GUARANTEED hr to be equal to any tESg Beer brewed. Bot tled and on draught at all leading saloons ft Reno Brewing Co., Inc. 13. Harmony (Mr. Arant) Harmony is to musio what grammar Is to language and the student who would understand music thoroughly must know harmony. It is an inter esting study and may be taken by all the older students, in either vocal or piano. Here are aome of the things which a knowledge of harmony en ables the student to do: I. Read with greater ease and rap idity. II. Memorize much more readily. III. Judge of the quality of music plsyed or sung. IV. Have a better appreciation of music. It will be the constant aim of our instructors not only to ground pupils in the theory of their art. but to give them a finish in execution. Whether' the student takea op the work purely from a motive of self-culture or for a professional career, the method of instruction should be the same. Many people do nut realize that the beginning, in either vocal or instru mental work, requires the most care ful training of any period in the musical development. Here many habits are formed which will either retard or advance the pupils' progress later on, accordingly as the instruction has been inadequate or efficient. It is impossible to build on an insecure foundation. All pupils will be expected to ap pear in public recital at least twice during the year. This is of much im portance to the pupil in developing confidence and self-control. Occasional recitals will be given by the instruc tors to stimulate an interest in good music. The public is cordially invited to all these recitals.

Grob and Dan Godail, tha two former being retained on the nsw board. While the number of tirketa out waa evidence of keen rivalry for tha var ious nltlcen, one apparent feature was the lack of over electioneering or "vote pulling" by frlenda of the can didates, and the elrrtion as a whole went off with smooth accord. Quite a number of women visited the polls, but they nianlf enteil much lees interest than waa esprried. The new city officers represent a strong body of substetnial bueinees men who have the welfare of the town at hear, and we truat that during their administration the city affairs will be conducted fairly, Judiciously and economically, as well as In a manner that will be productive of results for its citizens.
