On Monday morning, instead of the
regular chorus singing of the third pc
Rod, Miss Brownell, representative OF
the Victor company, very pleasantly en-
tertained the music classes with a num-
Der of selections on the Nictrola. The
first played was The Dance of Death.
After Miss Brownell explained the def
mite parts Of the dance, it was not ditfi
cult to interpret them when the record
was played. Following this were two
Indian songs, one a war dance executed
by young braves, and the other Her
Blanket, sung by an Indian princess en-
ployed by the Victor company. The song
is that Of an Indian squaw who. as she
weaves her blanket, weaves her life's sto-
~ into it. Selections from Negro hymns
were next played and the applause of all
was given solo by Galli-Curci. The pro-
gram was ended by the playing of beau
tiful violin solo. All the pupils were
much interested and they hope Miss
Brownell will come again.
The school is greatly interested in the
boys glee club and the girls chorus which
