FIRST APPEARANCE OF COMBINED GRADE ORCHESTRAS PLEASES As the first public appoaraance of tho combined Richmond Elementary School Orchestras, the concert given last Saturday evening in the High school auditorium may certainly be called a success. "The Siren," ft march, and the first number on the program, was probably the best played picee by the orchestra during the evening. The sense of rhythm and martial precision was observed throughout. The players showed themselves capable of expressing different feelings and rhythms by their playing of "Auld Lang Syne," in which melody and tone predominate, and in the waltzes, especially the one named "Over the Waves," where the gliding rhythm, which was es sential, was expressed. Miss Marlatt and Mr. J. E. Maddy, directors of the orchestra, are pleased with this initial appearance of the but recently organized junior orchestra and look forward to much finer presentations in the future, as the players develop in Individual skill and in the ability to play together. Soloists Do Very Well. The junior soloists of the evening played their numbers very well, indeed. The trio number (cornet, violin and piano) played by Barney, Helen and Lena Reddington, was played with an understanding of the spirit of the piece by each member of the trio. Georgianna Doan played her number well, showing an ease in the handling of her instrument. Tjhis also characterized the cornet solo, "Maryland, My Maryland," which was played with a pleasing vigor of tone, by Cleo Homrighous. Sympathy with the possibilities of his instrument wa shown by Sherman Bullerdick. when he played his i clarinet solo. ' , Benjamin Bentley brought a deep j tone out of his 'cello when hej played Handel's "Largo"; and Mil-1 died Fox, portraying a very different sort of feeling, played her piano , number in a brilliant, manner, the; running notes especially, being ! played with great smoothness for! such a young and tiny player. j Lloyd Oulland played a violin, 6olo a theme with variations inj an excellent manner. As the theme j appeared in its variations, it acquired speed and gaiety and showed j that it felt perfectly at home; running over the violin strings di rected by Lloyd's mind and fingers, TRAVELING LETTERS INTEREST JUNIORS IN GRADE SCHOOLS Almost everyone agrees that it is fun to travel. If we can not travel ourselves, it is a great deal of fun to either start letters traveling somewhere or to receive them after they have traveled rather far to greet you. The boys and girls of the fourth, fifth and sixth grades in the Richmond public schools, under the leadership of Miss Phelps, supervisor of writing in the grade schools, are writing letters to boys and girls in the grade schools of Schnectady, N. Y., and have received letters from them. Similar traveling letters will in the future be going back and forth between the juniors of Albany, Oregon, and Clarksburg, West Virginia, and Richmond. The one necessary feature of a letter's being allowed to travel is that the writer must have a good arm movement when writing. No letter is sent from a junior who does not show good arm movement. We are glad to publish several of these prize letters that have been considered especially good, by Miss Phelps. They are published in different places in t his week's Junior. Some of the Richmond writers enclosed their pictures in their letters.

RICHMOND,

r GARFIELD PICKUPS A merry time was had by the members of the Girls' Dramatic club, Tuesday afternoon, when they held the last meeting of the semester, a social meeting, in the gymnasium. A splendidly planned program of games was arranged for the club members by the social committee, of which Fern Powell was chairman. After the games, came tho "spread," when the retiring officers and members made speeches. The" 8-A's had a delightful party Thursday afternoon in their final class social as Garfield 8A's, which was held in the gym . Games were played, the Virginia Reel was tripped "on the light fantastic toe" and later in the afternoon, refreshments were served. The 7B girls netted 19.20 from their candy sale on Jan. 14, for the Art girls' treasury, which now holds almost forty dollars. Mr. Cox, now Social Secretary of the Y. M. C. A., has resigned from that position and will become a j member of the Garfield faculty in i the mathematics department at the beginning of the second semester. The departing 8A's attended an informal reception at the Senior High school, Friday evening. They were introduced to their new teachers and the new building. i After that, they met with the mem bers of the High school faculty in the Art gallery for a social hour. SIXTH GRADE PUPILS SEE FILM SHOWING THE ROMAfi HOUSE Seeing how people very much like the people we see all around u lived hundreds of years ago vThat their houses looked like; what sort of chairs and dishes and time-pieces they had; what sort of clothes they wore and how they decorated the walls and floors and rooms of their homes, is often a very interesting occupation. So thought tho boys and girls of the sixth grade of many of Richmond's schools Tuesday afternoon, when they went to the High school auditorium to see the film, "The Roman House." These grades have been studying the story of the Romans some say "history" but we like to say "story" because the tales of the lives of the people of Rome when that city was such a power in the world, reads so much like a story. Mis3 Paine, who is supervisor of the elementary grades of the public schools, made the pictures more real to the Juniors by explanations and little descriptions and questions from time to time. The sixth graders of - Starr, Whitewater, Hibberd, Vaile, Baxter, and Finley, formed the audience Tuesday afternoon. The film was secured from Indiana university, and the plan of Miss Paine and the school authorities is to secure others from the university from tine to time for benefit and enjoyment of the pupils in the Richmond schools. ?

WERNLEBOYSAND GIRLS SEE MOVIE A good thing done Is good, but if done twice, is better. Isn't that so? That is what happened to a number of tickets sold for the benefit theater entertainment for the Europeaan Children's fund,, which were given by all the motion picture houses of the city last Tuesday afternoon and evening. Several Richmond citizens bought a number of these tickets to help the children who are now starving in Germany and Austria, and then gave them to the boys and girls of Wernle Home, and so brought happiness to a second group of children. The boys and girls and their superintendent, Mr. Specht, were taken to and from the Murrette in automobiles. Needless to say, with two comedies showing on the screen a good time was had by all the Wernle juniors. MUSICAL PROGRAM IN 8-A CHAPEL A musical program was chosen by the committee in charge, of which Donald Essenmacher and Juanita Longfellow are the chair men of the boys and girls respect ively, for the final chapel of the term, the 8A chapel.
