To me .sciriuibirsiumlrs of ilE,AsG1llr NllNI3flIHIl6lIf Miriam scratching T GIVES ME GREAT PLEASURE to Coflgflltulilte you on your activities in the field of music. The value of such activities, both in the life of the student and in the cultural life of the community, cannot be overestimated. Orchestras, bands, and choral groups organized in the Cin- cinnati schools serve not only as pleasurable recreation and relaxation for the moment, but lay the foundation for a worthy and enjoyable use of leisure time in more mature years, even though few be given the opportunity to identify themselves professionally with music. The perpetuation of major musical organizations of the city, such as the Symphony Orchestra and the May Festival, depends much on the early development of an appreciation of music and a realization of its cultural value. Chief among the factors contributing to this development is the fine musical education being offered in our schools, and those engaged in this excellent work deserve highest com- mendation. May their success, and yours, long continue. Believe me, Yours very sincerely, -tv-.L Conductor, Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra.

SIMD OJIHIHIUIEB GIBIILQASS GDI? IILQD33 o BE ASSOCIATED with the students of the East Night High School in the publication of the ANNUAL is a real privilege to one who understands the character of the night-school student body and the manner in which you, the members of the class, have devoted yourselves to your work, night after night, through a period of years. A serious pur- pose and a remarkable persistence mark you as deserving of the highest Commendation. To have undertaken in the night high schools a program of study which spreads over live years, and to have persisted in the desire to complete the course against the pressure of all distracting engagements, resisting the fatigue of the body and devoting the evening hours, night after night, to intellectual pursuits in the classroom or laboratory, is evidence of a fine quality of character. To have come to the point of graduation at the conclusion of these years is an achievement really worth while and one which reflects great credit upon each one of you. I am proud to be associated with this body of students. I express my hearty congratulations upon what you have done and add my best wishes for the future success which I am con- fident you will achieve. May you do well whatever the years to come will place upon you to do, and accomplish in the course of your life an outcome of which you and all who know you may 'be proud. Very sincerely yours, EDWARD D. ROBERTS, Superintendent of Sclaoolr.
