that Arthur Barber is leaving us

l-osch Music Hour, which was broadcast
from Radio City. The program
was divided into two parts. In the
first half hour, or Series A, Mr.
Danrosch told the children about the
violin and viola members of the string
family. He described the instruments
as to appearance and tone quality,
and illustrated the two ways in which
they might be played. The following
selections were played by tno symphony
orchestra:
"Finale from Serenade", Opus Id.
by Tschaikowsky.
"Air for the G String", by Bach, j
Wilhelm.
Pantnmine from the Little Trifles,
by Mozart.
"Finale from Cor.certo for violin
and Viola", by Mozart
"Molly on the Shore", by Percy
Granger.
The second half hour was a program
of interpretative music, titled
"Animals In Music". Selections
played to suggest different animals
were enjoyed immensley by the chil
dren. The following numbers were
used:
"The Elephant", from The Carnival
of the Animals, by Saint - Sains.
The Kangaroo", from the carnival
of the animals, by Saint - Sains.

the radio once every two weeks.
World History Class
Studying Feudalism
The World History class has been
studying different aspects of Feudalism
during the past week. Since the
Feudalism Age is quite an important
period in world history, more time has
been devoted to it than has been devoted
to many other periods. The
students have studied the reasons for
i the rise of Feudalism in Europe, the
| character and main features of the
| Fedual System, as well as how the
r people lived during that age.
| Next the class will review the
I struggle between church an<l state.
i STUDY LETTER WRITING
The first section of the Freshman
class is studying the two main types
of letters; namely; friendly letters
and business letters.
In studying friendly or social let'
ters, the class decided that they
should, first of all, be natural. The
lettei; should be so natural that it is
conversation on paper. Next, a friendly
letter should be courteous, correct
and clear.
Illustrating those points the class
is writing samples of friendly letters;
such as formal and informal, invitations,
acceptances, refusals, "thank
you notes," political letters, sympathy
notes, apologizes, and letters of directions.
So many of these notes have
to be written, but so few of us know
how to write them.
