THELH THH Across the hall another door opens, revealing the five little pianos in their respective studios. They are in constant use and each night we make a mad scramble downstairs for them. This may seem exaggerated to some of you who are not yet under music's spell, but you must just hope that some day you, too, will find yourself in its work and be running to get your favorite piano first. With the five pianos going all at once, sometimes with the addition of the Misses Gillespie and Nash's voices, we have a modern symphony right in Greenwood, though you may not think of it as one. Miss Pankowska, too, plays across the hall on her new piano and joins the symphony which, always changing, provides the greatest variety of pieces and com- posers. A waltz by Chopin, Paderewskils Minuet, Schumann's Papillon, and Strauss's Blue Danube have been combined a great deal this year. Miss Pankowska enjoys the busy hub-hub of the pianos all sounding together and often she stands outside to listen and distinguish each player. Un some of these visits she has caught the younger prodigies having tete-a-tetes and carrying on little parties among themselves. How- ever, these have been only on very rare occasions. The Chromatic Club has decided to give to Greenwood large pictures of famous composers for the piano. We are going to 'put one over each entrance of the practice rooms. Thus each door will lead into the room of a great man, which will be referred to as the room of Chopin, of Paderewski, of Bach, and of others. VVe believe these pictures to be far better suited to those aristocratic instruments than the black ugly numbers with which most schoolroom 'doors are decorated. T P.
