THE OUACHITA
MAYNARD ACADEMY
Prof. MyriCk Tells of the Good
Work Going on in That Institution
of Learning

Ouachita-Maynard Academy has
Just started on its second terms
work. The faculty and students are
well satisfied with the work accom-
plished during the first term. Our
work this year has been along sever
al lines.
The first and most important
work of any school is the literary
training-the foundation. The
students of our school feel the i'm
portance of this work and as a body
have striven to maintain a high
standard of mental culture. The
five members of the senior class are
doing their best to rival the work
done by the former classes, this
being the largest number graduated
from the Academy in any single
year. After the foundation is laid
we may build on it in the way of
accomplishments.
The music class this year is one
of the largest and most enthusiastic
in the history of the school. The
several branches, piano, voice cul-
ture, harmony, chorus, sight-sing-
ing and normal work are taught.
In this department there will be
four graduates in piano this year.
At the end of each school month
the music class together with the
elocution class gives a recital,
that the patrons and friends may
know some of the work accom-
plished.
The elocutiOn class has been dong
excellent work in the way of train
young men and young women in
public speaking. Nothing benefits
students more than knowing how
to read and speak understandingly .
This is the aim in view in this
work.
Believing that sound body must
accompany sound mind, we have
put forth some efforts along the
line Of physical culture. The third
floor has been fitted up for a gym.
nasium, to be used by the young
ladies. The young men have an
outdoor gymnasium. A football
team has been organized by the
boys while the girls play basket
ball. There are also two fine tennis
courts on the campus. These fur.
nish ample means for the recreatlVe
life of the students.
Another form of recreation and
work intermingled is the society
work. There are two literary
societies connected with the school
which do an untold amount of good
in training the students in think
ing, in self-control and in appear
ing before an audience. The two
societies occupy one hall, which they
are furnishing and heautifying from
time to time.
With the opening of the New
Year, our school shall take on new
life, strive for better things, and
make the greatest effort to accom-
plish more in all lines of cur work.
