MUSIC
Woof, woof, woof, sniff, sniff,
sniff.
Have you gone completely crazy"
asks brother?
We'll, Miss Krough said I was
supposed to do that to build up
my voice, it's exercise for the
lungs" answers sister. We have to
hum too. This is to develop rescn-
ance.
why do you practice at home
when you spend an hour a week
in school?
Miss Krogh says it is very inn
portant to practice at home if we're
to have good glee club.
From this conversation you've
probably got some idea of what
Miss Krogh is starting the glee
clubs with.
The Glee Club has elected cffi-
GERS too. Mary Jane Stelzig is presi-
dent, Virginia Cummings is secre-
tary, and Hazel Payne is librarian.
Girls, all girls! That's Miss Num-

to start practicing. Members of the
orchestra really like orchestra, but
they can't refrain from making q
few remarks like the above. 1t is
a sure sign that Mr.. Kitzberger has
| at last got the orchestra organized.
LIBRARY NEWS
The library has acquired some
new juvenile books. They are very
interesting and provide a wide
variety of reading. The following
are some of the books: Mystery of
the Missing Car" by Chapman;
THE Last Quarter" by Barbous;
Gone Haywire" by Rollins.
One day I went into the library
and was having a fine time laugh
and talking. I stopped to think
about the name of a book I had
come to lcok for and was greatly
surprised when I couldn't even
hear myself think. The noise was
appalling. Not until then did
fully realize the Importance of
silence in the library. People who
come there like to concentrate on
their reading, and even one or two
persons talking may disrupt their
train of thought. formerly
thought that silence in the library
was just a chronic complaint of the
librarian, but I discovered that
noise is really irritating in a place
devoted to reading. So students
let's all cooperate in refraining
from disturbing the peace and
silence in the library.
COMMERCIAL NEWS
The other day 1 heard a student
telling someone else how easy typ
ing was. Maybe; but after two or
three days of wrestling with the
tabulator, they have found that
there are other things to learn be-
side hitting the right key with the
right finger, etc. For you who
never had the opportunity to exa-
mine a typewriter, the tabulator
regulates the paragraph and col
umns CT figures. Everyone in the
class has it mastered now. But
that isn't all! hate to tell you this
but you'll have to learn it all over
again, because it works different
on different machines. So the peo-
pie who are using L. c. Smiths will
have to learn all over again when
you come to use an Underwood and
vice versa.
