In addition to developing the toy orchestra to a high state of perfec- tion, the school’s music directors, Sis- ters St. Cecile and Herman, O. S. B., have worked along several other lines during the term. Have Harmonica Band Tn the grades, the St. Mary's chor- isters and the Harmonica band have been organized. In addition to these and a course of daily singing in the school, a school band has been meet- ing regularly since the second six- week term, The high school pupils have formed @ double instrumental quintet and have both a girls’ and mixed glee club. The Choristers, numbering about 50, have developed fine skill in read- ing both the square and the modern notation and ability to sing Latin in- telligently and properly, and have ac- quired particularly a correct idea of the style proper to church music. This year in the four upper grades a six weeks’ project in reading of square notation proved to be of unusual in- terest to the children. The knowl- edge of square notation is essential to the correct rendition of the Greg- orian chant, an early form of church music. As a result of this work, all the upper grades learned and sang Mass X for a contest which marked the close of the six weeks’ work, Daily Supervised Practice Those taking band work were re- quired to practice at the school daily and made their first public appear- ance for the Christmas program. Fi- nally they appeared in a program of their own on May 19. This group has 19 members. Members were chosen from the in- termediate grades for the harmonica band. With this group augmenting the regular band for the upper grades and the toy orchestra for the first three grades, the three organizations include the greater number of the pupils who show a special aptitude for music. In January the instrumental be- ginners in the high school formed a double quintet consisting of five sax- ophones, first and second cornet, alto horn, trombone and E tuba. This group of players performed on several occasions this spring and played for the class night exercises Monday. The high school girls’ glee club met twice a week for rehearsals and were called upon to sing for high school assemblies during the year. The mixed glee club did fine work, the members showing interest and coop- eration. Occasionally, the boys of this group worked on male quartet umbers. A special mixed quartet from the senior class will sing for the ca iad exercises Wednesday ight. CLASS NIGHT DRAWS RECORD ATTENDANCE City Auditorium Overflows as Seniors and Juniors Join in Festive Program An audience which packed the Bis- marck City Auditorium to the top of the gallery and jammed the main foyer joined the Bismarck high school seniors in their class night exercises which were held Tuesday evening. The commencement ceremonies will be held at the same place Thursday at 8 p.m. “It was a gala occasion for the sen- iors who were seated on the stage, which was banked with lilacs and ferns, and the juniors who sat in a reserved section immediately in front of the stage. There was the usual merriment as the juniors were called to the stage singly or in groups of two and three to get the articles bequeathed them in the class will, Marian Pederson and Lloyd Graunke were the seniors han- dling this feature. The traditional lighting and hand- ing down of the peace pipe, which had added to its long stem the rose and silver ribbons of the 1935 gradu- ates, was conducted by John Cam- eron, senior president, and James McGuiness, junior president. Mary Mahiman, valedictorian, de- livered her address at this time, as did Mary Louise Nuessle, the saluta- torian, Virginia Cayou and Jack Harris read the class history, Ruth Christianson and Eugene Fevold de- livered the class rhyme and Bernice Ulmer and Charles Schoregge gave the prophecy. Schoregge substituted for James Taylor, who is ill. The seriiors themselves provided music for. the occasion. A quartet composed of the Misses Christianson, Mahiman and Nuessle and Peggy Jane Skeels sang “Sylvia.” Marjorie Hawley sang “The Indian Love Call.” Petty Thief Given 30 Days, $100 Fine Robert Relkin, transient, charged with petty larceny, was sentenced to serve 30 days in jail and pay a fine of $100 and court costs here Wednes- rie by Police Magistrate Edward 8. n, Relkin was arrested Saturday af- ternoon, broke jail two hours later and was re-arrested less than an hour after slipping out through the police magistrates’ chambers, Charges of jail breaking may be jPressed against the prisoner when word is received from Washington regarding his previous criminal rec- ord.

TO CONTINUE DEMAND FOR BONUS Jamestown Convention Adopts Resolutions Praising Con- gressmen for Vote Jamestown, N. D., June 5.—(P)— Newly emphasized demands for im- mediate cash bonus payments marked the record of the North Dakota Vet- erans of Foreign Wars convention Tuesday. Along with warning against United States entry into foreign disputes, the convention decided to continue campaigning for full payment of ad- justed service certificates. Resolutions adopted at the closing session Tuesday praised Senators Lynn J. Frazier and Gerald Nye and Congressmen William Lemke and Usher Burdick for supporting bonus legislation and other measures in service men’s interests. The convention, # joint affair with the United Spanish War veterans, ap- proved an Americanism program of James Van Zandt, national V. F. W. commander. A resolution was adopted demand- ing that all non-technical CCC fore- men be chosen from veterans as far as possible and that non-veter- ans’ employment be halted. The vet- erans also advised that wartime con- scription should recognize that “hu- man life is more valuable than health.” The convention disapproved of movements “tending to alter the form of government in derogation of the principles of which it was founded and expressed hopes for enlarged hospital facilities.
