TEACHERS HEAR CHORUS OF 500 INDIANA VOICES 200 Students in All-State Orchestra as Second Music Feature. Two outstanding musical features of the Indiana State Teachers’ Association meeting this week were the all-State high school orchestra, under direction of Will F. Wise, of the music department of Shortridge High School, and the all-State high school chorus, directed by Miss Elizabeth G. Kaltz, head of the music department at Arsenal Technical High School. The chorus this year is the second to be organized. It was directed last year by Ernest G. Hesser, head of the public school music department. There are 500 members of the chorus, 300 of whom represent seventy Indiana towns. The others are from Shortridge, Manual Training, and Arsenal Technical high schools. 200 in Orchestra The orchestra was organized in 1921, and has had different directors each year. Two hundred high school students played this year, some of them representing fifty Indiana towns. Others were from Indianapolis high schools. Both groups were organized through circular letters sent by Director Wise, Miss Kaltz, and her assistant, Miss Inez Nixon of Frankfort, Ind., to school music supervisors throughout Indiana, inviting them to send representatives for the orchestra and chorus. A group of selections were chosen by both directors and submitted to the supervisors over the State. The first big rehearsals of the orchestra and chorus were held Thursday morning before the appearance at the Caleb Mills hall. The complete program of the —chorus under Miss Kaltz includes “Gloria” from “Twelfth Mass” by Mozart; “Good Night, Beloved” by Pinsuti; “Carmatina” by AmesGaines; and “Song of the Vikings” by Saning. Mrs. W. E. Dufchie, organist, accompany the chorus on the first number. Other accompanists are Miss Louise Swan and Mrs. Frank Edenharter. One Hundred Violins Three hundred and one instruments composed the orchestra. There were, one hundred violins, fifty-one first violins and fifty-five seconds, sixteen violas, sixteen cellos, six string basses, five flutes, seven first clarinets, .five second clarinets, two obos, four bassons, seven first trumpets, seven second trumpets, three horns, ten trombones, two tubas, one baritone saxophone, one tympani, three drums, an Italian harp, and a piano. Six selections compose the program. The group will play “Swedish Coronation March,” by Svendsen; the “Overture Mireille,” by Gounod; “Cavatina,” by Bohm; “Ballet Music,” from “Rosamonde,” by Shubert; “Largo,” by Handel; and “The Priests’ March,” from “Athalia” by Mendelssohn.

Whoop It Up for Best' Results, Teachers Hear

Perfect Attendance Means ‘Gang’s All Here’ to State Officer. “Hail, hail, the gang's all herel What the hell do we care nowj^ A modified version of this lusty song, probably one with the “hell” knocked out of it, was recommended by Attendance Officer Edward C. Roach, Evansville, as effective in keeping pupil attendance records perfect in this jazz yge. Jazz itself can be turned to account, he pointed out in addressing the city section of the attendance officers’ conference at the Lincoln Thursday. “When a room has perfect attendance let the pupils sing “Hail, hail, the gang’s all here,” he recommended. “If their good record continues until they are school champions, let them visit other rooms, especially those where the record has been poor, “Equip them with horns, rattles and the like and let them celebrate their victory on such visits.” Staid teachers smiled somewhat at the suggestion as Roach declared these method? bring results. Others who addressed the city section were Helen Pearson. Indianapolis home visitor; Edith A. Fisher, Terre Haute, and Bertha Medsker, Ft. Wayne. The county section of the conference was addressed by Mrs. Wyrema Luce, Mrs. Edna Hatfield Edmondson, Purdue University; Mrs. Wilbur Templin, Elkhart; Mrs. Carolyn Chamberlain, Judge Ralph Himelick, Connersville, and State Attendance Officer Blanche Merry. The latter urged increased cooperation in the matter of attend-

ance between the officers, teachers and home. JACKSONVILLE WOMAN NEW POCAHONTAS HEAD Officers Are Elected at Closing Session of Great Council.

Little Theater Planning to Present Marionettes

Student’s Success With Puppets Is Cause of Venture. Success of the marionette shows staged by Norris Houghton, Shortridge High School, ’27, at the Little Theatre last June, caused the Little Theatre Society to organize a company of marionette players for performances next spring. They will be directed almost entirely by Shortridge students. The shows will be similar to the ones staged by Houghton. The former Shortridge student began giving marionette shows at his home while attending grade school. He made his own puppets, designed their clothes, the stage settings and lighting effects, and manipulated the characters. When a junior in high school, Houghton moved his show to a neighborhood garage and set up a theater shop. He gave two performances a week before as many people who could crowd into the little garage. There were always as many as fifty people at each performance, his mother said. He attracted so much attention with his puppets that he was invited by George Somnes, manager of the Little Theatre, to present “Al-
