THE BLUE AND WHITE 'Iwi' The History of the Class of 19305 A Symphonic Metamorphosis INTRODUCTION Once upon a time a large brick building was visited by a certain class. A curly-haired, short-breeched. molasses-munching little boy roamed the corridors with his brown satchel, accompanied by a throng of other little boys and girls. Everything was all very sad and tragic because they hadn't very much money and they didn't know how to dance very well. They cried disconsolately and tried again. Chief among them were Everett the Flute, Stewart the Bass viol. Ted the Violoncello. and a little boy bound for Harvard who boasted the name of Oboe of the perfect A year passed amid much happy quarreling. The tots were now getting old. and after a last game of pirates, they sedately ate their last meal together, buried their golden hairs. and went their ways. SCORE A dark cloud lifts - - - The curtain parts. A baton in the hand of destiny Comes down. The first black movement of a gigantic symphony Has started. The first tentative notes ------- A shy pianissimo - - - halting beats - - A voluminous president who marked a half-rest To see navy blue and gold As represented on our banner. The continuation of the unsteady theme - - - An unhappy heavy minuet - - The infrequent clinking of the silver symbols - - A gradual diminuendo - - The crash of dissonant chords - - - Silence. Destiny's arm Continues its waving. Gently play the wood-winds And the tripping notes of the flute. A bass-viol drowns out its delicacy. It remains the central theme Throughout the rest of the symphony, A lead is given by the bass viol. A violoncello plays an undercurrent To five gay dance measures of the violins. Mellow, melodious strains from an oboe Close the movement. The baton again. Swiftly the instruments seek to blend. Dissonant chords make a pedal point. Lugubrious, spluttering complainings recede into the shades. Lightly the tempo unnoticeably quickens. Counterpoint ensues from brilliant masses of color. Group notes make blatant the busy air. For a moment the thrilling. throbbing excitement of the music Is halted by a monotonous lull. jangled clanging. Bizarre antics of the whole orchestra. A sudden mournful quiet. The even dull pounding of the drums. A last blur of trumpets And whirring violins. This madly rollicking. Solemnly. lilting Caprice fades. ESTHER SAGALYN MIRIAM POMERANTZ 'l'25'l'
