AV0 matter how many new songs
IN are put on the market, or how
big a nomentary sensation they
may make il is the cold songs that
wear and give the greatest and most
lasting pleasure. They bring TO the
older people happy memories Of the
past when the songs were new, and 10
the younger generation, the singing Of
them assists largely in keeping their
ideals where they should be. These
beloved old tunes will be the in
spiration for what is termed a 'eom-
munity singN to be given Wednesday
evening at half past seven O'Clock at
the Highland schSol, under the direc-
ti0n Of the Parent-Teaeher association.
All patrons of the school, pupils, and
those residing within that district are
invited to be present on this occasion
when only the old fashioned songs will
be given. Mrs. La Moine Clark is
largely responsible for the gathering,
and will assist in the perfeeting of all
arrangements. In Philadelphia, not
long ago, the people had public
"sing'', all gathering on the streets,
singing the old familiar tunes. 1t was
great success, and the idea was
favoralby considered by other cities.
Community sings are meeting with en-
thusiasm every where, and even the
moving picture and vaudeville houses
in the larger places are coming back
10 the old songs to draw and hold their
patrons.

An item appearing In these columns
recently, concerning the efforts Of a
dramatic class at the high school con
veyed an entirely erroneous impression
on many who were of the opinion that
this class was to supplement the Sara
Brown-Sayage school Of expression
conducted for many years as n depart
ment at Willamette university. Now
this Is not the ease, the high school
class being merely local, and being
made up entirely OF High School stu.
dents, who arc for the greater part
members Of the English class. The
membership is limited, and although
tho class win give some entertain
ments later they will all be given at
the High school and outside talent
will not take part nor win they be
eligible to join the class
