several railroads, in leasing their re-

MUSIC in SCHOOLS

Some weeks ago the editorial
columns of this paper brought TO the
attention of its readers the need tor
music in the schools. Misunderstanding
to note that music has been started in
the schools, for the Alexandria High
School now has flourishing Glee
Club, organized by Mrs, E. P. Jones,
and being trained by, Mrs. Charles
Strauss. The work is entirely vol
urtary, and music has been bought
with money collected as dues. At, the
second meeting, the following officers
were elected: Frank O'Meara, presi-
dent; John Fowler, vice president;
Miss Kathryn Adams, secretary; MISS
Harriet Keane, treasurer.
Mrs. Jones suggested that the MEM
bers write a school song and SO the
members of the club undertook to pro-
duce one. Robert Whitton has
achieved very clever one to the
time Of peggy O'Neal." A business
committee composed Of Misses Reeves,
Haycock, and Hinton was the next
addition.
The club at present is dlVideo lhto
two portions, the vocal and the or
chestral sections. The orchestral Sec
ton, under the direction of c.
Vozeolas, includes Misses Marian
Dienett and Louise Thomas, pianists;
Messrs. Constantine Vozeolas, Ber-
nard knight and John Strauss, vio-
linists; Misses Virginia Wilkins,
Maud Lyles, and Elmer Williams,
mandolin; Norman Lawler, drummer;
Frank O'Meara, omerophone. This
talented band of musicians is being
trained by Mrs. Strauss, and there
are prospects for a splendid high
school orchestra.
The other division of the club is
the vocal section, Of which Talbert
Haslett was elected song director. The
vocalists are showing much interest
in the development. Of school songs
as well as the study of some worth
while part songs. This is the ilrst
time that a Glee Club has ever been
attempted in the Alexandria High
School, and under the guidance OF
Mrs. Jones, and the excellent instruc-
ton of Mrs. Strauss, those interest
ed in education may look for splendid
possibilities.
