classes were organized in which the
pupils were drilled in sight singing,
and part singing. Twice a week in
chapel one-half hour was devoted TO
drill in note reading, singing exer-
cises and learning to sing songs cor
rectly. This was compulsory but it
did not seem so, for every one enthus-
iastically took advantage of the OPP
portunity. The change in our singing
was enough to convince any one the
Importance of public school music.
The whole South should have been
there and heard the difference and
have seen the change in our singing.
If so, every school in the land would
have Immediately installed that
course.
Miss Porter was so pleased with
the results that she scored another
point for the o. H. s. by persuading
the school board to give the students
a half credit in music. Very few
schools in the. South are this far ad-
vanced.
At first no one realized how strong
ly we had been affected by the change,
but it was quickly brought to light
when Miss Porter left US and the
board decided to stop music. The stud
ents stood it for few weeks and then
so firmly insisted on a director that
music was again part of the cur
riculum under the supervision of Mrs.
Cole. She has been with the O. H. S.
for two years and she has advanced
the work of Miss Porter beyond the
expectations of any one. She con-
tinues the work of the sight singing
classes, quartets and glee clubs. She
also organized an orchestra and band.
Mrs. Cole is quite an artist and has
composed herself greater part of
the music used. Some part of the
music department is continually being
called upon to render pieces at all
kinds of programs, until the o. H. S.
has made name for itself in all the
adjacent community. The classes are
continually giving performances thru
the school term. This year we sue
: cessfully gave the operetta can In

: Mrs. Cole. We are planning recital

Der on the program will be a cantata

: of students gave well enjoyed pro-
: gram at Belleview on the occasion OF

: this, the pupils always furnish the en-

:! What the o. H. S. and those north,
l ern schools can do, the whole South
e can do, so l implore you to wake VI
e to the fact that music plays so import
! ant a part in the education of Ameri
f can citizens-to-be, and give it its right

"The Ocala Star says that the city

well-regulated communities. Good
paving means health as well as other
things, and is most desirable and at

AN APPEAL FOR OAK
GROVE SUNDAY SCHOOL

Wednesday of last week Mrs. Kei-
zure, Mrs. Horn, Mrs. Woody, Mrs.
Dinsmoor and Mrs. Lindsay met for an
all day session at the Oak Grove
church, cleaning and planning for
Easter. They were more than repaid
for their work by the bright eyes and
happy smiles of the girls and boys.
After the classes, the tiny tots were
surprised and happy, each receiving
pretty basket filled with candy eggs
kindly furnished by Mr.. Fenwick. We
all sincerely thank him and the ladies
who made the baskets. The next class
received an Easter card from their
teacher and the two larger classes of
boys and girls participated in an egg
hunt, Mrs. Keizure and Mrs. Horn
having previously hid them around the
church grounds. Some of the larger
boys fortunately found six or eight
eggs a piece but they thoughtfully di-
vided with the smaller ones who were
not so lucky.
Next Sunday we would like to see
more parents come with the children.
The writer remembers how proud and
happy some certain children were
when dad and mother put on their best
bib and tucker and accompanied their
boys and girls to Sunday school.
know my life has been lived better
thanks to my good parents and the
kindly teacher who instilled in her
class of boys and girls the desire to
follow the straight and narrow way.
