EETHOVEN did much for the f development of instrumen- tal music. His orchestrations show wonderful foresight and remarkable genius, although containing many imperfections, which were later used by Brahms to advantage. The illustration emulates the performance of one of his great piano concertos. - 5-as-'- CLASSES

'UDWIG VON BEETHOVEN -the man whose genius freed music and allowed it to soar to a loftier realm. His Iife's sufferings and anguish are poured forth in his infinite late compositions. Later men sought beyond his path to attempt another step approaching absolute music. His works, exceeding 350, are nearly all forms of instrumental and vocal compositions.

Miss ESTA OVERMEYER Advisor. All histories go back to the beginning, so we go back to the beginning of our high school career to start ours. Four years ago, We, the Senior Class of '31, tremblingly entered the portals of Ham- mond High School as Freshmen. Un- sophisticated and green as we were, we suffered the usual horrors of 'wrong rooms, elevators, cruel teachers, upper classmen, and what not. During this year we were not organized as a class, but some of our brilliant class members represented us in the Ace of Clubs. At the opening of our Sophomore year we felt more Venturesome, and, rapidly learning the ways of the upper classmen, we organized our class with Miss Bauman as sponsor. We elected Joe Honorolf, Presidentg William Hoaster, Vice-President, and Kenneth Cramer, Secretary. an As Juniors, Miss Bauman continued af our guide. Our leadership was also entrusted to Tom Fleming as President, Kenneth Cotling as Vice-President, Kath- leen Vincett as Secretary, and John Wilhelm as Treasurer. Red and white were selected as our colors. The red rose was our Hower, and Etiam quad arse - Be what you seem to be -was our motto. It was this year that, in the mind of the school as a whole, we really became im- portant to school life. As a climax to this year's activities we successfully changed the climate of a hot evening in june to December with snow and icicles, which caused the warmest blooded to shiver as strains of dance music floated from the igloo. We breathed a sigh of happiness and yet of regret, for our Prom had been a success, but it marked the end of our Junior year. Our last year was sponsored by Miss Overmeyer, Mr. Myers, and Miss Dye Qdue to Miss Bauman's resignation from our facultyl and the following olhcers: Lowell Tucker, President, Kenneth Cof- fing, Vice-President, Kathleen Vincett, Secretary, and Morris Johnson, Treasurer. Under this leadership we took over the reins of school government, the manage- ment of the two publications, and many other school activities. Representing our abilities as to schol- arship, we have as Valedictorian, Ruth Hammerstrom, and as salutatorian, Theo- dore Miller.
