The Victrola for the school has ar
rived. 1t is a very handsome one and
is a credit to the members OF the
school that they should feel very
proud of. The Mozart Club made it
possible to obtain this by their good
work and faithful efforts and the
whole school feels very much indebt-
ed to them for what they have done.
Several records are to be secured,
some of musical and some of the lit
erary kind. This will be great bene-
fit to the school and will give all
a chance to hear some of the great
literary works of the world and also
some of the world famous singers as
we'll as afford much entertainment
and amusement. 1t will be used dur
ing the chapel exercises and also dur
ing the literary societies.

Ferdinand Matheny, the new SEN

The first meeting of the Mozart
Club was held Wednesday afternoon
in the chapel. Miss Ballou has arrang-
ed for the study of operas this var,
and the members of the club have
bought the Victor Book of Operas,
consisting of over 100 operas. Much
praise and credit should be given to
this club for its splendid work last
year, also for its success in securing
victrola for the school.
Miss Scottow, of Frankfort, an ex-
perienced expression teacher is in
communication with the superin-
tendent and it is hoped that she will
be secured for the instructing of
class for a six weeks course here at
the school Several class lessons and
private lessons will be given weekly
and should prove to be a great ad-
vantage to those who are interested
in this line of work. At the end of
that time she will give play or two
which will help the school secure nee
essities. The superintendent hopes
to get enough pupils so that Miss
Scottow will come and then at the
emu Oh Cne SIX weeks lie dlSO HOpSS
to be able to secure an up-to-date
dictionary and stand for each of the
two high school rooms, besides do
ing other things. Some of the teach |
ers here personally know Miss Scot
tow and say that she is a very |
charming lady as well as one of the |
best of expression teachers. She
comes very highly recommended and
if any of the patrons of the. school
are interested in this and wish for |
their children to take this kind of |
work they should not let such
chance as this go by but should in !
vestigate the matter further and |
talk it over with the superintendent.
There are between 80 and 100 pu-
pills in the High School this year.
This is the largest number that his |
ever been enrolled, and there are
more Seniors than have been in the J
history of the school.
