Miss Hazel Witwer, instructor in
music in the school, is now putting in
two full days in music work with the
students of the Alberta school, Wednes-
day and Thursday. She has close to
about 80 pupils, as we understand. There
is no branch of school work more en-
Enthusiastically followed by students than
music 1t is the big plan of the school
to introduce music into every home of
the district, if possible. A big treat for
the people Of Alberta will be the big con-
cert to be given by Miss Witwer and
her private students, her glee clubs and
her community chorus some time in the
spring.
The community chorus has been or
ganized under the name of 'Sympho
MIA" This name was adopted by a large
majority vote of the members, about 25
in all. Glenn Prickett is president of
the society, and Ruby Schlattman, secre-
tary, while Elmer Siebrecht is treasurer.
The Alberta Corn club had it's annual
meeting two weeks ago. The new Off
GERS are Fred Henriksen, president;
Glenn PIOCker, Vice-preSident; Raymond
Andert, secretary, and George Henriksen
treasurer. This club has won many a
big victory in the past five years In all
it won over 500 in cash prizes in the
county. For many years some of it's
members represented the county of
Stevens at the state fair The members
who did this distinguished work were
Sidney GauSman, Adrian DevereauX,
Fred Omen, George Kampmeier, William
Ernest, Fred Henrillsen. This club has
during five years won all the big prizes
that the county offered, never losing one
above the fifth prize; most generally it
won all prizes. It's name is the Cant
Be Beat Club" It has made Alberta the
corn center of the county. While Fred
Henrikson was down at the state fair
for a week last fall, he Also together
with his team member Clarence Schus-
ter of ChOkiO, demonstrated the differ
ent methods of testing seed corn before
a large crowd at the fair in the educa-
tiOnal building.
This Friday the Baby Beef club will
be organized in the school. A large
membership is anticipated. There will
also be local prizes offered in this con-
test together with large county and
state prizes a great interest is shown
in this contest.
Alberta this year has a very progress
sive bread baking club of 16 members.
About five bakings have already been
completed. All bakings will be COM
pIeted before the short course in the
agricultural school during the second
week in April. Alberta is sorry to have
lost out to Chokio in this important con-
test, but is bent on winning back again
the old victory, won so many times be-
fore. There will be very fine demon
stration team hailing from Alberta in
April.
Most members of the school have join
ed the War Saving Red Cross clubs
formed in each room. They will enthu-
siasticaIly do the work of thrift and of
the health tournament This will be one
of the most important parts Of the
school work.
