Interview on Music

rehearsal on September "a. Over
seventy-five boys and girls attend
ed. Since then the number has in
creased to eighty. There are three
divisions in this choral group.
First, soprano; second, alto; and
third, baritone, the latter being
boys with changed or changing
voices.
During the first rehearsal" said
Mr.. Osbon, II particularly noticed
tone quality and enthusiasm among
the group. This will tend to make
superior organization"
During the year Mr.. Osbon in
tends to present various recitals of
standard-part songs, classical mu-
sic, and good popular music. If
time permits in the school year,
perhaps a Gilbert and Sullivan op-
eretta will be presented.
The Smyrna School band is still
in the progress of organization.
More than so boys and girls have
applied for membership with many
more who expect to join. Ar
rangements are being made where
by instruments will be made avail
able. Both group and individual
instruction will be given.
"As soon as we have instru-
ments and begin instruction we will
have band within three MONTHS"
said Mr.. Osbon. "Of course, the
band will be able to play simple
music at first, but as members pro-
gress in technical ability, the COM
positions used will increase in diff
ficulty."
In general, Mr.. Osbon and SUI
perintendent Wright have express
ed their satisfaction over the way
music in ]. B. M. is progressing.

School Cafeteria
Mrs. Homer Downs, the new
manager of the school cafeteria,
has done a very good job thus far.
Her well prepared food has induc-
ed many of the boys and girls who
formerly ate downtown to eat in
the cafeteria.
Mrs. Downs says that the cafe
terra has had an increase in the
number of meals served since the
beginning of school.
Students, particularly those in
the elementary grades, should real
ize that platters are cheaper and
healthier for them than buying the
food separately.
We students are really satisfied
with the results of the cafeteria
and hope that more and more will
take advantage of the balanced
meals available.
