1929 THE MAGNET The Student Association HThE STUDENT organization of W. W. A., known as the Associated Students, d - emphasizes more and more those things which are related to practical life, for that is the purpose of present day education. Our goal as we read from the Con¬ stitution, is to Promote the Spiritual, Cultural, and Social interest of the school and to foster a spirit of unity and Christian fellowship among its members.” A worthy purpose indeed. There is a great need today in the work of God of capable men and women who can influence their fellow men to think and work in harmony, and as students we are naming for social leadership. In their activities the students are constantly working in various capacities, thus learning to respect the ideas and opinions of others and developing the ability to weigh carefully and stand for principle. Through the hearty support of the students many phases of school life and ac¬ tivities have been advanced and there are many plans to be worked out in the re¬ maining weeks of this year. The social committee has endeavored to maintain the students’ interest by sev¬ eral social entertainments during the year such as banquets, Saturday evening pro¬ grams, hikes, and debates. The cultural committee conducted a cultural week in the beginning of the year and Good English Week came the first of Mav. Christian ideals are held before the students by the Spiritual committee. Prayer bands are held and Chapel talks together with excellent mottos for each day. As school years have come and gone, discrepancies have been found in the original Constitution, and a movement is now on foot for its revision. The Associated Students meet in session once every three weeks or in case of urgent business, a session is called when the president wishes. In these meetings opportunity is given for debate and discussion of student activities and problems. The Academy Magnet and this Annual are the official organs of our Association and so speak the sentiments of the Student Association. Our Association cannot but be progressive. We look forward to another year that will be bigger and better for our school . . . W. W. A. Boost the Association and you boost the school. —Howard Wm. Finke , President , ’28-29. r 221

WESTERN WASHINGTON ACADEMY 1929 Music Department “Blow thou gentle breath of spring, And through the kneeling grasses sing Thy fitful melody; Whisper tunefully on our way As loving Orpheus doth play To his Eurydice. O, Orpheus thy silver notes From a thousand phantom throats Pour forth thy harmonies May thy music ever be echoed to posterity Upon thy lute , the breeze The very rocks, the mountains sway In rhythm to thy celestial layP M USIC, TO THE true lover is at once the source of his greatest joy,—joy to hear the infinite spirit of God re-echoing from a well-played, divinely inspired, composition. The Bible clearly indicates the divine character of music and the inten¬ tion of the Lord to inspire us to a higher and nobler life through this wonderful art. It is a well known and accepted fact that a heartfelt and sympathetic rendering of a composition has caused many a sin-stained soul to admit Christ into the door of his heart. Music has been called the language of heaven. It is the plan of Western Wash¬ ington Academy to give this language its rightful place in the school activities. During the school term of 1928 and 1929 much time has been spent developing in the minds of the students an appreciation and knowledge of this subject. W. W. A. is indeed fortunate in having Mrs. Strauss Cubley as its piano instructor. She is not only thoroughly familiar with her subject, but has shown herself able to conduct her classes efficiently and competently. She is sympathetic with the interests of the students and is always ready to co-operate in every way possible for the betterment of the music department as a whole. Come to Western Washington Academy where we are trying to give music its rightful place, and develop the talents which now lie dormant in so many of our youth. [231
