have bothered President McMullen fol
a long while. Last Thursday hun
dreds of music-loving folk of Flag
staff crowded into Ashurst auditorium
to listen to the Harp Ensemble com
pany, a quintet of five high-class art
lists. The crowd was thrilled, even
exalted to intense fervor. at was the
biggest turnout for a lyceum concert
in the history of the school," Mr.. Nc
/ Mullen stated.
The next concert will be given by
the Cavon Welsh Singers, January Z
While we are on the subject Of mu-
sic, may we direct your attention to
the NormaPs training school orchest-
! ira? For the most part the group is
composed of youngsters ranging from
| 9 to IA years and among the young
artists we find much promising ma
| terial.
"We are building for the future, y
says President McMullen. Starting
in 1923 with 20 young people the folk
here can we'll be assured of having
| a Flagstaff symphony orchestra by
1927"
The Normal juniors took charge of
Wednesdays assembly and we might
pause to say that Flagstaff folk are
invited to be present at all daily as
semblies, which begin at 1875 sharp.
Wednesdays assemblies are given ov-
er to the student body and it is amaz-
ing to see how these entertainments
bring out a great deal of unknown
talent.
The junior class Wednesday put on
three sketches. First burlesque of
an English class in session; an aero
batic act by Miss Maude Howell;
third, a comedy entitled "The Kid
Curriers'" The comedy kept the au-
dience in convulsions. The principal
characters were the Misses Minnie
Anderson and Emily Hamilton Of
Douglas and Messrs. Joe Shirley,
Grand Canyon, and Lloyd Rhoten,
Snowflake.
r. G. Stevenson, head Of the COM
merce department, is giving his stu
dents an opportunity to put their
theoretical experience into actual
practice. Mr.. Stevenson, who is
chairman of the publication commit
tee of student editions, has appointed
Miss Marion Wallace and Miss Kath-
crime Beckwith to take charge of the
accounting sets for The Pine and La
Cuesta respectively. He has reogan-
lied both publications on paying
basis.
Miss Gwenn Hauch of Douglas has
been named music editor and dramatic
critic on The Pine, NormaPs popular
monthly. Miss Hauch has had a
years work at the University of Ill
inois and is majoring in dramatics
here. Miss Frances Sharpe, another
diligent scholar, will be in charge of
subscriptions and the exchange pa
pers.
The first edition Of The Pine was
distributed last Thursday and met
with the approval of the entire stu
dent body. The policy of the editor is
to make each edition better than the
preceding one.
Mrs. Beckwith, house mother of
Campbell Hall, surprised her girls
Halloween night with a delightful
midnight lunch. "It was a miserable
night and / knew the girls would be
tired and hungry after the dance, so
stayed and fixed them little sur
prise," she said.
Miss Whetzel and Miss Pragst of
the Normal faculty, were i'll and con-
fined to their rooms in Bury hall the
first of the week.
Mrs. l.. B. McMullen, formerly dis
trict president of the Northern Ari-
zona Federated Woman's clubs, left

service, "What May We Do?" While
in Jerome she will also address the
faculty and student body of the local
high school on "The Great Adven
