That parents as well as the students are intensely interested in the music of the l)igh school is evinced by the fact that about $2,000 worth of instruments have been purchased during the past nine months. Two members of the band have procured new musical instruments this week and all of the instruments in the band are ones of which the owners may he proud.

FORGOTTEN PAINS The experiences we are having today are more vivid and real in our minds than any we have previously had. Pictures fade as time pushes them back into the distance. "Did yon ever see anything like it?" Jones asks me. He is talking about the vreather, which iias been pretty snappy for the last two or three days and has involved the shoveling of a good deal of coal unless you are fortunate enough to have gas--or oil--or city heat in the house. Now Jones forgets that two years ago the thermometer went two degrees lower for two days longer than It did this last time. That coal has been shoveled, that shivering done, the unpleasantness resulting from that spell of weather is in the past, and Jones has entirely forgotten that he said anything about it two years ago. John has Just had his last examination,' and Is ready to go home for a few days. "You know," he says to me, "I've heard more howling this semester about the awfnl examinations they are piling upon the fellows than I ever did before, and I know I've never been through such a siege.

Leaving McHenry on Monday, Nov. 26, he traveled south, passing through St. Louis Tuesday night, staying in a camp on the Ozark Mountain highway Tuesday night. The Ozark mountains are one of the beauty spots of the middle west, extending for about 300 miles along south central Missouri to Springfield and Joplin, two very progressive cities in southwestern Missouri. It was here that Mr. Freund spent Thanksgiving day. On Friday, Nov. 29, he passed' through Oklahoma to. the Panhandle of Texas, spending Saturday night in camp at Amorilla, Texas. From there he proceeded on Highway No. 166 down through New Mexico, where the first moderate weather greeted him at Rosweli and from there he journeyed to White Mountains through an Indian reservation, via Almagoorda, New Mex., into ElPaao, Texas, on the Mexican border, where he spent seven weeks. Leaving ElPaso on Jan. 22, for the Boulder dam site he arrived at the small city of LasVegas, Nev., where he remained for three weeks. He then journeyed to Los Angeles, Calif., spending one week there and a few days around Pasadena, San Bernardino, San Diego, and Colexico on the .extreme edge of souther California, Radio Station Letters The department of commerce says "W" and "K" radio station letters have no particular meaning. The alphabet has been divided. Certain letters have been assigned to certain countries. "W" and "K" are the United States letters.

Freund says the climate throughout New Mexico, Ariiona^ and souiliei ii California is most ideal through the winter months, the people having as their slogan, "Where sunshine spends the winter," which is, indeed a most truthful one.
