The boys and girls and teach CTS assembled for the first time this year in a social way on the evening of October 9th. The gymnasium was the scene of the merry-making. Every one was present from the smallest girl to the most sedate of the faculty, and every one entered heart and soul into the spirit of the occa- sion. Games were played, inter- spersed with musical selections from a string quartet organized for the occasion. Both children and teachers thought the social good fun." It is the plan to
The Thlinget., 1911-10-01

bring the boys and girls together In this way more frequently than was done under the old regime. It has long been recognized that there is great need of training along this line; and since a spa cious, well ventilated gymnasium has sprung into existence, along with the many other fine things that go to make up theS J. S.,
 there will no longer be any ne- cessity for neglecting this, part of the education of our students.

Any one passing along Indian River road might mistake our new Sheldon Jackson School for either a conservatory of music or mu- sic supply establishment. The native, ,Alaslans are very music al, and need only half chance to prove itt The merest amateur can produce music from the poor est excuse of an instrument. Our students have managed to collect enough musical instruments to make the welkin ring most of the time. The large girls have access to the fine new piano sent us by the Board. Many of the large boys have band instru- ments, some bought by the boys themselves others tresurrected from the debris of the old build 'ings; others have guitars and mandolins, one even has violin, aad two or three are radient over the possession of photographs. The small boys have-mouth or gansl and ever and always aIl the boys have their voices. When the piano, several band instru- ments, guitar or so, a phono- nograph, a harmonica, and nu- merous sets of vocal chords are set going at once, we can easily grant forgiveness to the passer- by who labels our institution er- roneously.
