Efforts are being made each year to
reward farm boys and girls who take
active parts in the junior clubs, with
a week of education and recreation
at the .university and in Lexington.
The award of these scholarships by
the Consolidated Coach corporation
will help materially to bring the benefits of the junior week to the worthy
farm boys and girls, and will increase
the number of boys and girls attending to over 500 from seventy-fiv- e
counties.
Since only 500 scholarships are given among the more than 20,000 club
members in the state, they are highly
"prized. According to J. W.
state club leader, winning a
trip to junior week is one of the
highest honors awarded, and helps
greatly to stimulate work and study
among club boys and girls.

A KENTUCKY 'SONG
BOOK
Members of Phi Mu Alpha, honorary musical fraternity on the campus have taken upon themselves the
work of preparing and publishing a
University of Kentucky Song Book.
This book when completed will contain all the songs of the University
of Kentucky as well as songs representing all the fraternities and sororities on the campus. In addition to
this it will contain some representative songs from other universities and
colleges.

This is a praiseworthy
ing on the part of these young men
who are interested in music The ven
ture is not one that has as its object
the making of money for individuals
since the book will be sold for only
enough to pay for preparing and pub
lishing it. Any surplus that might
arise will be used by the fraternity to
promote the cause of music at the
university. The whole project is un
der the direct supervision of the de
partment of music of the University
of Kentucky which assures a book
worthy to bear the name of the Uni
versity of Kentucky.
The young men who are publishing the book, lacking in funds with
which to have the book printed, have
been forced to resort to advanced
sales. They are sending out letters
to a large number of interested
alumni asking them to purchase a
copy of the book in advance of publication and also giving them the advantage of a lower price. This University of Kentucky Song Book is. a
book that every loyal Kentucky man
and woman should own. The alumni
should also encourage the work of
these young men and support them in
their efforts.
A copy of the University of Ken-- i
tucky Song Book would make a most
acceptable gift to some classmate or
fellow alumnus.
