(Ellen Huckabee.) Although the Music Department of the Albemarle High School is one j of tha newest departments, it is fast i becoming one of the most important. I It is divided into several organiza tions, the largest of which are the | Music Club, the Pupils’ Recitals, the 1 Beginners’ Class and the Chorus Club. One of the newest organizations of this department is the Music Clab, which was organized November 8, by Mi^s Huntley’s advanced pupils. Juanita Huneycutt was made presi dent and Ellen Huckabee, secretary. The purpose of the club is to study musical appreciations. The meet ings are hed twice a month in the homes of the members. I he first meeting was at the home of Mary Estelle Boger on Wednes day, November 22. A.fter a short business session, the pvograai was carried out. The subject for the afternoon was Edward MacDov/ell. Ellen Huckabee read a paper on the life of MacDowell. Maxine •'.Iorris then read a paper describiii;,? Mac- Dowell’s style.

In the recitals both beginners and advanced students play. Before playing each student gives a short sketch cf his composer and composition.

At present they are f-tudying the lives of great composers. Throughout the year the music de partment assists in the performance of chapel programs. Sometimes Miss Huntley’s music pupils render piano solos and on special occasions th.s de:)artment gets up appropriate mu sic.
