School Happenings..
I*BERTY CITY
ELEMENTARY
A very delightful practice has
been initiated at Liberty City
Elementary School. This plan was
conceived in the minds of the
assembly committee with Miss
Eddie Wilson as chairman. Other,
members of the committee are
Mesdames Sands, M. Edwards, A.
Russell, and E. Wells.
In order that our children
might become better acquainted
with some of the better known
musical selections from operas,
operettas, musical comedies and
from the Masters, we have what
is known as a “Mystery Tune
Contest” every week. These se
lections are incorporated into a
devotional period which is con
ducted over the public address
system every morning for a per
iod of a week by Mrs. Gill, the
principal, Mrs. Sanford, ' Mrs.
Wanza, Mr. Jenkins, Mrs. Reed
and Mrs. Stewart. Each morning
two musical selections are play
ed with the name of the selec
tion, and the composer or the
performer given. Then follows
the thought for the day, pledge to
the flag with the pupils repeating,
Bible verse, prayer and notices.
On Friday one of the tunes that
has been played during the week,
and the name of which only the
conductor of the programs knows,
is played again. This time the an
nouncement is made, ‘This is the
mystery tune.” No other informa
tion is given. Immediately after
the devotional period, each pupil
has an opportunity to write the
name of the mystery time on a
slip of paper provided for that
purpose, with his or her name and
room number. These are then put
in the Mystery Tune Box which
is in the workroom. The person
in charge of the program for that
week, with someone to help, se
lects those that are correct and
arranges to have the names typed
and posted on the bulletin board
in the corridor before 3:00 p.m.
The Mystery Tune the first
week was “The Blue Danube
Waltz” which was identified cor
rectly by 410 pupils. The tune
last week was “Begin The Be
guine.” 301 pupils had that one
correct. We have found that it
helps to eliminate tardiness as the
program begins at 8:30 sharp and
no one likes to miss hearing the
musical selections. The feeling of
unity which is gained by the en
tire student body repeating the
pledge to the flag and the Lord’s
prayer, has helped in establish
ing a period of calm before the
day’s work begins.

showing made by Boy Scouts of
Troop 99 at the Swmim Meet,

We hasten to add the troop did
not win one of the prized trophies
but the spirit and efforts displayed
by the Scouts were gratifying.
However the boys did win one
important event and placed sec
ond in the popular relay race to
account for 8 major points.
Os the twenty boys that took
part, Henry C. Nelson, a tender

was responsible for the troop
placing second in the relay race.

were responsible for winning the
life line race and Eddie Williams,
